I'm still baffled at Rikishi never getting involved in any Bloodline story, like... why wasn't he?? Especially when the Usos yknow... feuded with each other. Could’ve just been “newz” but I’m pretty sure I read that they reached out to him for a Mania appearance this past one, and they couldn’t come to an agreement on money which is.. unfortunate? Idk how many bookings Rikishi is getting, and I pray he’s doing well financially (I’m positive he’s doing better than me so it’s not a dig) but it seems like you probably just take the couple grand they offer you for what.. about ten minutes of your time at most that day? |

The fact that there's a WWE Elite Sultan figure that's just now hitting the shelves makes this even better. So when you buy it and look at it, all you'll think about is it the Sultan and him shittin on Hogan.
Brilliant.

Why the Sultan? That was...without a doubt Rikishi's worst gimmick. What's even sadder is it's probably his most prominent WrestleMania appearance as he acted as a warm body for Rocky Maivia to defend his IC title against. Other than that, I couldn't tell you another thing that the Sultan ever did, other than eventually disappear.

Judging by his social media. It very clear that he wanted to be a part of it in some way. I had no idea he had beef with Hogan to do a dis track now. I kind would like to know the context of the story. |

Could’ve just been “newz” but I’m pretty sure I read that they reached out to him for a Mania appearance this past one, and they couldn’t come to an agreement on money which is.. unfortunate? Idk how many bookings Rikishi is getting, and I pray he’s doing well financially (I’m positive he’s doing better than me so it’s not a dig) but it seems like you probably just take the couple grand they offer you for what.. about ten minutes of your time at most that day? Yeah, I seem to recall he wanted “LOL!!!😂 No.” money to appear so never did. |

I could be wrong but didn’t Hogan bring Rikishi on that run of Australian shows in the 2010’s or whenever that was? |

I can’t imagine what he turned down but if it was anything 4 figures or even 10k just to run out there and be basically an extra for a few minutes, talk about a bag fumble. |

Welp, I didn't have "Rikishi releases a rap and it's actually good" on this years bingo card.

He doesn't need the money, presumably, so he doesn't want to lower his price. |
