Predicting The 10 Best Wrestlers In The World Five Years From Now
6. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu is the latest member of the legendary Anoa'i family to continue its rich legacy - and early reports suggests he is equipped with the most raw promise.
Footage emerged earlier this year of Fatu half-killing a hapless fan for daring to step over the guardrail. It was an incredible scene of euphoric karma; Fatu was like an actual brick wall come to life, and he hit the dude so hard. He clobbered him. The fan tried to get up, but fell straight back down on his a*se, his resolve crumbling into a visible whimper in an instant. Fatu literally hit the fan so hard he felt it twice.
Fatu, already, is as good at conveying this power in the ring - but he isn't a mere powerhouse.
He is capable of propelling that colossal frame to the top rope, with similar flash movement, and splattering the faces of his opponent with a somersault senton. There are several monsters prowling the scene capable of such next-level; athletic agility, but Fatu is different. He isn't merely the heavyweight wrestler capable of doing cruiserweight moves. His presence and ability to project himself as the old breed of monster, too, puts him over as something borderline terrifying.
