10 Second-Generation Wrestlers Who Never Made It
5. Manu
Afa Anoa'i is a respected wrestling veteran and trainer, and one of the patriarchs of the Samoan wrestling dynasty. Along with his younger brother, Sika, Afa was part of The Wild Samoans, one of the best-known WWE tag teams of the pre-WrestleMania era. Their strong ring work and stereotype-heavy gimmick saw them capture three WWE World Tag Team Titles.
Three of Afa's sons became pro wrestlers, with Samula holding two WWE World Tag Team Titles as Samu, Lloyd competing as L.A. Smooth, and finally, Afa Jr. joining WWE years later as Manu.
Manu quickly became a part of Randy Orton's Legacy group, with big things reportedly in store for him. Things soon changed, though, and he was kicked out of the stable in late 2008. Though he and fellow Legacy exile Sim Snuka formed a tag team to oppose the group, Manu was released in February of 2009.
According to reports, the second-generation star had a bad attitude and was abrasive to other members of the roster. Though he still wrestles, he hasn't done anything of note since leaving WWE.
