WWE star and member of The Bloodline, Jacob Fatu, spoke with All The Smoke about various topics, including his experiences wrestling at major events like SummerSlam.
Fatu said, “Come on, man, it’s a whole lot better than wrestling in the parking lot on independents. Know what I mean, yeah?! Then when you go out there and wrestle, you’re only wrestling in front of the people who set up the ring. Know what I You know what I mean? Hey, but them is the type of things that make you humble. All right. Hey, listen, and I’m grateful for those hard times, bro. I’m grateful for wrestling like that in front of nobody. You know what I mean? Cuz it’s so easy for us to do it now in front of everybody. You know what I mean? And man, bro, for the people who ain’t wrestled now on independents, it’s all right. It’s different journeys, different time, different eras. Hell, I don’t want nobody to wrestle in the parking lot. I mean, I don’t want nobody to have that feeling. But man, to wrestle now at a stage like this, man, Big Bro, I still trip out. I go blank. I can’t hear nothing. You know what I mean? Because, man, and once again, I just have this weird thing in my head. Every day I always think about what I came from. I always think about damn roaches. I always think about, you know, our neighbors shooting. I always think I think about that. So, I get a little emotional before I walk out. I do, man. Right. Especially before the big shows, I get emotional cuz it’s like, ‘Damn, I’m here now.’ You know, my wife, my kids are happy, especially my kids, bro. As long as they Gucci and Gabana with it, you know what I mean? I mean, I’m all in the door with it. You know what I mean? But it’s a beautiful feeling.”
On the crowd at Clash in Italy:
“I did one with Roman [Reigns] and Clash in Italy. That crowd was great, man. Um, it has been nothing but a good experience. And man, if you talking about things ain’t possible, man, big bro, it ain’t how you start, bro. It’s how you finish. You know what I mean? Now, the thing is like, can we keep up now? We’re here. You know what I mean?”
