10 Times WWE Nepotism CRUSHED Hot Angles
5. Manu And Sim Snuka Almost Tank Legacy
If Randy Orton is able to return in 2023 or beyond, then WWE will presumably book he or Cody Rhodes to reminisce about their days together in Legacy. Officially, that group belonged to both, but it was really Cody and Ted DiBiase JR acting as young boys to Randy.
Nobody else was involved. Nope. What's that? Legacy actually had other members? How dare you lie! Seriously though, Sim Snuka was teased, but Manu became a proper member of the faction for a short period before WWE realised it wasn't working. Like, it really wasn't working.
Manu was only given the gig because he fit the second generation billing. He was Afa's (of Wild Samoans fame) son, and Sim was Jimmy Snuka's kid. That's why WWE writers teased and tried them on, but Manu (in particular) was so painfully uninteresting that he lessened Legacy's killer dynamic immediately.
At least creative realised the error of their ways.
