Jacob Fatu recently spoke with TVInsider.com for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, “The Samoan Werewolf” spoke about learning from family, working with Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre, his growth in promos and WWE letting him be himself.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on these topics with his thoughts.
On learning from family: “Learning from family. Learning a lot from Solo [Sikoa]. Learning a lot from ‘Big’ Jim. A lot from Jey Uso, Roman [Reigns]. It’s really about learning a lot from others. I think Rey Mysterio said this on a podcast after tagging with John Cena and Sheamus. He learned a lot. You’re never been in the game long enough to act like you know it all. So, I think learning the game, structure, all of that.”
On growth in his mic skills and WWE allowing him to be himself: “Nah, the improv…yeah, you know they can hang with that. They are still trusting with the process, but it’s also something I love about WWE. They are letting me be who I am. They ain’t here to change me. I’m going to say it again. They ain’t here to change me. They ain’t doing none of that. They are letting me be me and tapping into what people like me. Just to let them know anything [is] possible. It has been going good.”
On his rivalries with Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre and what it’s like working with them: “I enjoy working with both. They each bring something different to the game. It just seems like my career is always elevating and elevating. I was just speaking with Tyler Breeze in the back, you have to treat people good because you’ll see the same people up and the same people on the way bad. Make sure everyone’s good, even when you’re bad.”
