    Sika holding a live chicken on Saturday Nights Main Event with Mr Fuji as his manager and biting it and taking its feathers off with his mouth is one of the memories I had as a kid back in the day of what I thought then was a scary man. But to hear he was a nice guy and well respected warms my heart. RIP Sika and condolences to Roman and the Anoa'i Family!

      My exact same first memory when Sika name was mentioned, lol. Though just heard on some podcast, was originally to be Kamala but he had just quit, which actually makes sense cause the house shows were Hulk vs Kamaal earlier in year and that was the blow off formula for SNME

    As a young boy, I remember watching Sika and Afa in Sandor Kovacs’ All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver. They were sweetly nicknamed, “The Annoy Me Brothers” by John Hill, a Canadian professional wrestler best known under the ring names Guy Mitchell, Mr. X, The Stomper, and "Gentleman" Jerry Valiant.

      Was he the Stomper before or after Archie Gouldie? I think he alternated between the Mongolian Stomper & The Stomper.

    RIP Sika… 🙏
    I remember seeing them in the Boston Garden as a kid in the 70’s with Lou Albano. The old wooden chair over the head spot was used and no sold by them. Just walking around with a chair hanging around the neck of one of them.
    Terrifying and great at the same time for me as a child.
    I still consider them the template for a monster heel team.

    Love watching your show and really enjoy Dutch telling us stories. Could you ask Dutch about I think his name was Bob Roop? When I was really young My Mom and Stepdad at the time took us to the Richmond Coliseum to watch NWA Wrestling we used to go a lot. Anyway One night Bob Roop was wrestling Ollie Anderson and Ollie just got so annoyed he just walked out. When we were younger we cheered for the Bad Guy's this was back in the 70's. My Mom used to tell us you need to stop y'all are going to get us Killed. We used to laugh, but The Bad Guy's were always nicer to us than The Good Guy's were.

    First ever live show I saw The wild Samoans at my local highschool. And they made me instant fans. And were scary & couldn’t get over how gigantic they were. You felt like if they rushed into the crowd. No one would be left standing but those 2! RIP and my condolences to the family.

    I remember Afa and Sika having a short program in Mid-South in the early 80’s against JYD and Mike George. Saw them live at the Monroe Civic Center. Good times. After shows we would hit restaurants on the highway to try and meet the wrestlers. Met several over the years.
