The Anoa'i wrestling dynasty can be traced back to a point when WWE Hall of Famer "High Chief" Peter Maivia made a blood brother pact with the family's Reverend. That pact would ultimately yield four generations of superstars, from the legendary Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, to the badass Meng -- who once bit a man's nose off in a bar brawl -- to some guy named Dwayne that would go on to take his opponents down Know Your Role Blvd. to the corner of Jabroni Dr. and check them straight into the SmackDown Hotel. The latest protégés from the Anoa'i/Maivia faction to make their mark on the history of professional wrestling are The Uso's and Roman Reigns, who've taken their good hand and played it masterfully at Vince McMahon's table to help the WWE product progress out of the ten-year depression that caused by the conquering of John Cena Nation. But let's take a look at how we got here.
