10 Most Underrated Super Heavyweights In WWE History
4. Rikishi
Headshrinker. Fatu. The Sultan. Phatu.
A man of many names, the WWE superstar most notably remembered as Rikishi portrayed several different gimmicks during his long career with WWE that began in 1992.
Along with Samu, Fatu joined the World Wrestling Federation under the tutelage of Wild Samoan, Afa. Lead by the former Tag Team Champion, The Headshrinkers portrayed a stereotypical team of Samoan savages, but they did capture the tag titles in the middle of 1994.
Following his run as a 'Shrinker, Fatu donned several gimmicks, including "Make A Difference" Fatu followed by a heel that supposedly had his tongue cut out in The Sultan (lead by Bob Backlund and The Iron Sheik), before finally finding his place as Rikishi, the bleach-blonde haired super heavyweight that became a breakdancing member of Too Cool.
Aside from the entertainment his dancing provided, Rikishi could go in the ring. His early days with The Headshrinkers showcased his athleticism despite being such a big man, and even as he packed on the pounds through the turn of the millennium, Rikishi could still put on a solid, entertaining match that most men of his size were unable to do.
