The late Umaga’s son is getting into pro wrestling.
The Reality of Wrestling promotion in Texas, which WWE Hall of Famer Booker T owns, announced this week the addition of Zilla Fatu to their training school.
“Welcome the newest member of Reality of Wrestling training school Zilla Fatu. His father Umaga was a part of Reality of Wrestling and now he begins his own journey,” ROW wrote.
On Tuesday, Fatu, one of Umaga’s four children, had his first night of training.
On Twitter, Jacob Fatu said, “!! BLOODLINE JUST KEEPS GETTING STRONGER WELCOME MY UNCLE RIP #UMAGA YOUNGEST SON #ZILLAFATU [100 emoji] [fist emoji] !!”
Shelton Benjamin also greeted Fatu, writing, “Congratulations & welcome to the family business.” “You’re going to crush it, Uce.”
WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi commented on the announcement on Instagram, thanking Booker T and writing, “[blood drop emoji] [finger up emoji] Thank you @bookertfivex @realityofwrestling [folded hands emoji] [check mark emoji]”
On Twitter and Instagram, Fatu has received words of encouragement from other professional wrestlers.
Fatu stated on social media that he recently returned from a six-year sentence in prison, arriving home on March 24. He also started a YouTube channel, and one of his most recent uploads examines the good and bad habits that people develop after being released from prison. Some of his videos are available below.
