Now this explains why the usos called everybody they uncle and said the rock is a cousin 😭😭😭😭🔥
That was a diss
Idk if y'all remember the interview the Usos had I think last yr and they were asked about the family tree etc... They explained but a question was asked how they're related to the rock they said it's so deep and had no idea. Y'all notice the Usos never acknowledged the rock as cousins and the rock never acknowledged them as cousins? They're not related. Roman reigns are the only 1 related to The Rock and the Usos related to Roman Reigns. I read up on it years ago. It's some kinda tribe thing they go by.
@luciousecarter8550 they are related there distance cousins
@@luciousecarter8550 you got some of it but it actually gets even deeper than that. So High Chief Peter Maivia was the blood brother of Afa and Sikas father. In Pacific Island culture a blood brother pact is as binding as legitimate family blood. So while the families wouldnt be connected by a geneaologist in any lab, they do view themselves as a singular family. But biologically The Rock is not related to any Anoai. But theres an even lesser known part of that.. The Rock isnt even biologically related to the High Chief Peter Maivia. The Rocks mother was adopted by Peter at a young age. That family is so complicated that i think they all just say family to save the hassle
@@liamjohnstone1062 amituana’i and Peter mavia are blood brothers, but they were distant cousins before, in our tribes we are mostly already distance relatives when we do the ritual
This guy Fatu could be a mega star I swear.
If they showed up as the other side of the island like they did in black panther
Jacob, right? He wrestled Harry Smith in MLW.
@@jonathancrosby2959he's the longest reigning MLW world champion and he's the current national openweight champion.
Legal issues prevented him from joining WWE 😢
@@Charsi_Escobarwhat legal issues
There needs to be a documentary on this family💯. A 30 for 30 for sure.
I agree
There a documentary of spurts that a you tuber did. Can’t remember who or the name of if but I think it something like the anaoi dynasty maybe
@@sajk1082 good looks. Checking for it now.
Genius Idea💯
No it don’t
The Rock isn't technically blood related to the Anoai.
@@c.antoinehill100 Peter Maivia and Amituana'i anoa'i were blood brothers and because of that pact they both represent themselves as one family so the anoa'i also consider Maivia's lineage as a part of their family or as an extended family.. Maivia had a daughter Ata who was adopted by his wife even before marriage and then Ata married with Rocky Johnson and give birth to Dwayne Johnson A.k.a The Rock..
@@tanishqtomar9273 Lia Maivia is of the Anoa’I bloodline.
Well he's the best one so they better let him in lol
@@tanishqtomar9273 Blood brothers like sworn brothers not the main blood related brothers.
Rock is their cousin his mothers mother was married to peter maivia
Rock is the only samoan/black in there family the rocks dad was african american but spent most time with rocks granfather promotion way before
WWE
Peter Maivia became Blood brothers to Afa and Sika's father, which bonded and blended their families forever
I get what you’re trying to say, but you can’t become blood brothers. That’s a yes or no type of deal, and it happens at birth
Our culture doesn't work that way.
@@Lupelele684What's your culture?
@@ScoobySnacks7 Fa'asāmoa
Don't count.
Th Rock explained all this and even made a chart going into details. Jacob wouldn’t be able to explain this let alone in a short video. This whole family tree runs deep.
How can’t he explain it when he’s literally part of the full Anoai/ Fatu family 🤔 he explains it perfectly to me 🤷🏾♂️
@fatmoefatmoe2645 hes saying he can't explain the whole family in a short video because of how deep it is, he started in the middle of the tree not the top
He just explained the basics you need to know
I see why they fear Jacob will over shadow Solo. Dude has real charisma!!
The last brother : LLOYD!!! 🤣
The way he said it just LLOYD 😂😂
The Tonga kid is one of the most amazing people in person same with Kiski ! Just wonderful people
The greatest family in professional wrestling history.
Debatable, but largest family of stars
In the conversation at least
@@SkarKinggthey only have one champ and he’s ok lol
Harts, Rhodes, Ironclaws…..
@@SkarKinggracist
Sister Trin 💙
One of the best women wrestler body ever in the history of wrestling
@@frostywarrior4649super gross
@@KYtimes2right, weird comment
@@kotweezy simps always talking about how beautiful someone is in the comments lol strange behaviour to say the least
This bloodline has given us some of the best wrestlers in history! One of Greatest families in wrestling
This mans family I love the hell out of them. I grew up watches his entire family wrestle. The Tonga Kid was my favorite because NO ONE flew off the top rope like the Tonga Kid!
Western world : I'm so confused
Asians : I think roman is my cousin
Lmao tf? 😂
Asians? You mean Polynesians???
@@challirayI think it’s cause WWE marketed one of the Samoans as a Japanese sumo wrestler
I could listen any one of them talk about family trees all day long
He called him Solo Sequoia!😂
Well.. he knows how to pronounce it.
That’s how it’s pronounced…..🤦🏽♂️
The tallest tree from California. Kinda foreshadowing
😏🤦🏾♂️
Sikoia*** is how he pronounced it
You’re missing another family member.
At the time, he was traveling with Jimmy Snuka, and his name was The Volcano Kid; their Saturday night show in NY, which they were booked for got canceled.
Suddenly, my show, in Fredericksburg, Va was what everyone was counting on. I had Snuka as the main event against The Mighty Hercules. About a week beforehand, Snuka’s wife contacts me to see if I had room on the card for one of his relatives that’s “breaking into the business”. I told her I was booked with talent and didn’t have it in the budget. But she asked me to reconsider because “he needs the experience,” so I agreed to find a spot for him but he may have to accept no pay ‘cause I was over budget as it was.
Because the Saturday show in NY got cancelled, a few of those WWF guys called me, looking to see if I had a spot for them, and that they’d come at a discount, but I really was tapped out for that show because I went out of pocket alone on it.
The night of the show Sunday, Nov 22, 1992, at the Colonial Theater (907 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, Va, I had a little more than half the house full.
So I meet the young guy, a tall (6’3 or taller, well built, big Somoan looking guy (that pretty much resembled the rock in his early days), I forget his real name, but I told him that I appreciate him looking for the work, and since he’s willing to work for free (on my promotion), I’ll have him do a “Run-In” on Rasta The Vodoo Mon’s squash match against some jobber.
The moment of the run in, while the jobber is being beaten post the match, the theater lights dim low, the music starts, and this huge, muscular somoan looking dude comes running down the aisle with both ends of his stick lit on fire, doing a fire knife dance, and chased away the 6’8””, 340lbs Rasta. They got a huge pop! It got over huge! Gray job by all four men (Rasta, the jobber, the ref, and The Volcano Kid). Even the time keeper did well, for excessively ringing the bell while the jobber was now getting assaulted by Rasta. LoL! I miss doing a wrestling promotion.
When The Volcano Kid was in the dressing room, he came over to me and asked “what did I think of his performance?,” recalling when I got paid for my first pro match, I reached into my pocket and handed him $55, and told him it was a good job, he sold it really well, and I promised him that if I did another show, I’d book him for sure.
Later on that night, The Volcano Kid did a run in on Snuka’s program, but I was attentive elsewhere, as I told Snuka and Herc (Ray) that they could come up with their own match, so I wasn’t involved but he got some work there as well. And I eventually heard a that Jimmy followed up from my show, with a promotion in Baltimore, Md, where Jimmy Snuka wrestled against Rasta The Vodoo Mon, so maybe the Volcano Kid was on that card too.
So many legends in one family
Samoans is taking over. It's taken a long time but they deserve to be at the top. They have the longest lineage in the game and been putting in that work for years. The Usos are the greatest tag team around today. Vince better pay them boys js
Nepotism hires
But they ain't toooo successful, other of all yokozuna was the champion 😂 as well reigns and they really aren't great draws they both was pushed on us
@@eXoMuZiKthat's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Every big star in the history of wrestling "was pushed on us". Good lord
The usos aren't even a tag team lmao
@@thewisemanpaul bitch they twins and will end up back together by Christmas grfoh
I saw a configuration of the Samoans back in August of '90 at Dorton Arena in Raleigh. They wrestled to a double count out with the Steiner Brothers. They brawled all the way to the heel locker room.
anoai and hart family is very deep bag of generational talent
Jacob fatu is a wholesome guy. Can't wait to see him in WWE
Homeboy is officially signed by WWE
RIP UMAGA that mf was one of my favorite wwe wrestlers growing up
Didn’t even know he passed RIP
Facts!!!
Bro must stayed all night thinking how to explain his family tree in simplest way after prople start interested in samoan bloodline😂
He gets asked every interview im sure he did
Thanks 🙏🏽 i been waiting for this for all my 🧬 life 🌱, thanks for making this make sense
Love wild Samoans with the captain back in the 70s
Zilla fatu!!! Is going to be big star !!!
They explained how their family and it’s considered blood brothers.
Someone broke it all down once. Its like 40 people that are in the family and in the business. Just the wrestlers😂... Reunions must be HUNDREDS of people!
the rock brought out a whole family tree and include the connection between Peter Mavia and Anoa'i family through blood brother deal.
I'm a firm believer that Jacob Fatu is probably the most talented worker in this generation of the Samoan wrestlers.
Jacob Fatu may be the most talented and not even listed. He would be in Wwe but Roman scared. Imagine Solo doing flips like crazy
That IS Jacob Fatu, dingbat!
Love that he brought up Trin!
I love it 👍🏿
Great to know they all have the history of the family 👪
he funna take this to a WHOLE new level!!
Wow! Respect
The Usos are Rakishi kids are the Usos? And the other kids looks just like him. Great family and history breakdown
A 60-Samoan royal rumble in three rings like WW3 WCW days is a family reunion 😂
U my man. Let’s get it. Best in the world right now.
Got so into explaining the family tree he changed solos last name to a tree lol
Damn, I love it. Especially how whoever the first generation started it how y'all making money. I wish I was part of the family
If I believe so the rock's mother is related to afa and sika
Yes she is this new generation just don’t know rikishi and jimmy and jey uso mentioned it that they are related just because the rock might be 3 generation he is still blood anoai
@@ELCochoDelAcordeon Samoa is a small island and going back far enough you are bond to find blood relation.
@@EyeOfTheWatcher yes that’s true
Yall are telling an actual blood relative who and who’s not related to his family 😂 if he says they’re not blood they’re not blood
They are not blood related
Hobbs and Shaw showed some of the members in the family the Rock used for their battle scene near the end.
❤❤❤ i love this knowledge i just learned
Otha and Sika most scary tag team when I grew up watching them
Let's go💪 cheehoohooo
Why did you skip over Albright?
Definitely need a Family tree breakdown
He's right. We don't know how many are out there doing wrestling. Like he said, there's are bunch of them out there
That’s dope
Nice if we put native tribe group vs Anoai tribe. History would be awesome.
My Favorite Family,r yall adopting 😂😂😂
I'm so late to the usos being rikishis sons wow. They have so many pro wrestlers. their family tree should be proud. 💯💯💯
I love it when he just said “Lloyd”
I felt that hahahah but still crazy to see how the tree runs
I kept repeating the video just for that for some reason.
Such an attractive bunch🤣😂✌🏽
I had to rewind this so many times to keep up 😂
I would love to hear Jacob narrate a book! Shit would epic 😂😂
You know you can't forget about the goat. Lloyd the greatest to ever do it
I was in a shelter with one of the Samoans he was in a wheelchair and was in much pain from wrestling. He had entertained us and that was what happened to him. Anyone say wrestling is fake is wrong. It’s scripted but they do incredible feats and they do suffer after .
I like the way he broke this down
"Solo Sikoia" strong like a tree!
This niggah said “SOLO SEKOYA” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In 1999 an interview with Yokozuna he didn’t even mention the Rock as family members currently in the business
It'll take 3 hrs to go through the anoai family...theeee biggest wrestling family
Whole family rich off wrestling 🔥
At least he the only one to admit it
I finally got some clarity on how all of them are all related 👍🏾
They are not
Respect 💯
Damn bro it’s fire how far n deep the family tree has come in the wwe
I was just looking this up the other day. The founder of the family considered Peter Maiavia to be a "blood brother". So the Maiavias and the Anao'is are the "same family". Afa and Sika considered Peter an uncle.
Not surprised if one day they will assemble every of them in WWE.
Damn and I thought the vob erichs were a big family in wrestling. They are all awesome
That's why the rock is on the WWE board
Family is family period
The Rock aint DNA family but hes family in the way many indiginous cultures have social mechanisms for adopting people into the family.
The rock already did the PowerPoint presentation in Las Vegas of the blood line
Greatest wrestling family there is
I knew the rock wasn’t related to them. He’s royalty.
Every year someone is going to ask this question 😂😂😂😂
The bloodline salute!
This bloodline is crazy
We need a chart for this
I had to watch this video mad times 😅
This dude just signed to wwe he was already a star just watch how this shit go
Its crazy how EVERY other wrestling family has a documentary except the tribe
Solo sequoias my favorite wrestler
DOPE
This is dope as shit...
Best way to compare is he was grandfathered into the family like a godfather.
I heard that Peter mavia or rocky Johnson can’t remember which was an honorary member of the family not blood so the rock isn’t technically related
Rocky Johnson became part of Peter Mavia family when he married Peter's daughter. Later on Rocky Johnson was made a honorary member by going through some traditional ceremony.
"Lloyd" 😂😂
My man had to laugh because he knew how silly it sounded when listing off the samoan names then just hitting them with Lloyd lmao.
Imagine the family cookout they talking bout “hey lloyd” lmaooo
So Rocks basically like Crissy from sopranos to Tony. He’s not his nephew but he is. This makes sense
dwayne johnson father married into the family they are blood relatives
And they’re all 49er fans 🎊
The greatest dynasty of pro wrestling
Dude rock mother is the wild Somoans sister bruh tripped out
Naw
She was adopted
@@dennisking7848 but she’s still their soster
@donkrider72caprice yes she is.. but it's folks saying they blood.. not true
The Rock mom is first cousins with Taminas mom and Nia Jax dad so they on the Rocks side of the tree
I bet this dude could do ten reps of 315 with no warm up because that's what big island boys do.
The rock is that one guy who you know isn’t directly related to you, but you know he could be a distant cousin or uncle
