10 WWE Superstars You Totally Forgot Were A Babyface
5. The Headshrinkers
Throughout the long history of professional wrestling, and especially in WWE, there has been a strong Samoan presence. Whether it was Peter Maivia, Yokozuna, The Rock, and most recently Roman Reigns, WWE main eventers with a Samoan background have not been a rare occurrence.
The tag team division also seemed to constantly feature a Samoan duo. The Wild Samoans started in the '70s, The Islanders in the '80s, Haku & The Headshrinkers in the '90s, and The Usos have taken up the torch in today's WWE. Of the lot, The Headshrinkers were arguably the coolest of the bunch.
For years, Samoan wrestlers were cast as brute savages with tough, hard heads, rarely portraying the most popular of all wrestlers. By 1994, Fatu and Samu had changed that perception as their in-ring abilities moved them to the top of the tag-team division, with Afa and Captain Lou Albano guiding the way.
The Headshrinkers began their WWE career by continuing the lineage (and stereotypes) of heel Samoan tag teams, but their babyface turn in 1994 catapulted them to the World Tag Team Championship and a nice little run.
