Wild Samoans

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wild Samoans was the tag team of Afa & Sika in Mid-South Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In interviews the duo would rarely speak, only grunting in a primitive dialect that only manager Capt. Lou Albano could understand. Completing their wildman image, the duo engaged in outrageous behaviour such as nose picking, and eating raw fish in interviews.
