Moveset

[edit]

A few moves I think should probably be added to his signatures: Scoop slam, clothesline, pop up cutter, DDT, back suplex, and possibly sidewalk slam, although I'm not sure how often he used that one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.54.236.43 (talk) 21:45, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Toocool.jpg

[edit]

Image:Toocool.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

SCAR

[edit]

Im suprised no one has mentioned that massive scar on his stomach i think it deserves a mention in his personal life its there because he was shot while in his car and the bullet hit him in the stomach along with several pieces of the shatttered windscreen BetacommandBot 14:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a source for it feel free to put it in, I'm not adding to the article without a source MPJ-DK 16:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tonight's taping

[edit]

This may be considered a spoiler (although no match results are revealed). From PWInsider:

TNA announced Junior Fatu would not be there tonight. (Note from Mike: I'm waiting to confirm but I believe he's done. Stay tuned). Christian Cage will face a mystery opponent.

Just something to keep an eye out for. Mshake3 23:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

whats messed up is that he left tna over money issues, he does know he aint that good and shouldnt be asking high dollar money in a company like tna. hell he couldnt even make a draw off of his name. tna has way better talent so why did they take the time to waste their money on a guy like him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.213.167.220 (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Solofa Fatu

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Solofa Fatu's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "WWEProfile":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:25, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 June 2015

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Jenks24 (talk) 12:47, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Rikishi (wrestler) → Rikishi Phatu – He used this name in the WWE, it is a natural disambiguation which shortens the page length, makes it easier to link to, educates the public. Also ties into his ID as Fatu/Headshrinker/Junior. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 05:27, 7 July 2015 (UTC) Ranze (talk) 00:52, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose That name only lasted a few months. If we're going for concisness, plain Fatu would work best. He was Fatu for a decade, and sort of always has been. I'd prefer his real name (one byte shorter), as I do with all wrestlers with roughly split ringnames, but if it's between Rikishi (wrestler) and Rikishi Phatu, gotta go with the commoner one. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:03, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment a search on Rikishi gives an, I think sensible, Google presentation as Solofa Fatu. I think that use of real names with pro wrestlers would exclude us from the occasional merrygoround of name changes by the performers stable. GregKaye 06:53, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Some wrestlers, anyway. Not a wise move for those with one name indisputably bigger than the rest combined. Hulk Hogan, Abdullah the Butcher, Jumbo Tsuruta and the like. Wise for those with one name only bigger than any other name (I'm looking at you, Ed "The Merry-go-Round Broke Down" Leslie). InedibleHulk (talk) 05:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary Anonymous User Protection request

[edit]

Can someone temporarily protect this page from any anonymous users edits for at least two weeks? They keep adding false information. --Stephen"Zap" (talk) 04:21, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
