10 Fascinating Backstage Facts About The New Bloodline
8. Jacob Fatu Couldn't Wrestle Abroad
Jacob Fatu has faced significant challenges in expanding his career internationally due to past legal issues.
Despite his impressive performances in Major League Wrestling and going straight into the New Bloodline when he joined WWE, Fatu's criminal record was a barrier to wrestling outside the United States. His convictions, which include charges related to robbery and assault, have complicated his ability to obtain visas for international travel.
Despite his talent and popularity, these legal hurdles prevented Fatu from competing in countries like Japan and the United Kingdom, where many of his peers have found success. This limitation has been a source of frustration for both Fatu and his fans, who are eager to see him showcase his skills on a global stage. Fatu has been open about his past and the impact it has had on his career.
Until recently he was forced to wrestle just in the United States, but has since travelled to Canada, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia with WWE.
