As the uncle of The Usos and the cousin of Yokozuna, Roman Reigns, and Rosey, Umaga is yet another member of the famed Anoa'i family that wrestled as a WWE superstar.

Similarly, Umaga's often overlooked in terms of the talent he possessed and how good a wrestler he was. Perhaps in part because of his premature death, Umaga is not always talked about when the best super heavyweights are mentioned, but he should be.

Initially he portrayed Jamal as part of the 3 Minute Warning tag team and certainly had some entertaining segments. But Eddie Fatu really hit his stride when he adopted the savage Umaga persona.

Umaga had anundefeated streak that lasted for almost a year from 2006-2007 and feuded with the likes of Shawn Michaels, Triple H and John Cena.

And who could forget Umaga's most high profile match at WrestleMania 23 in the Battle Of The Billionaires where he sided with Vince McMahon against Bobby Lashley and Donald Trump?

Umaga also won the Intercontinental Championship and helped introduce Santino Marella by dropping the title to him.

In just a few short years, Umaga made a huge impact on WWE by creating matches and memories that fans still remember.
