EPISODE 123: Rikishi


We knew him by many names before we were introduced to “Rikishi” and Bruce touches on everything from the Samoan Swat Team to the Sultan as we examine the career of Solofa Fatu Jr! You’ll hear about everything from the inspiration behind the look, who was enamored with his finisher, how Too Cool came to by, and ultimately why it ended. Bruce also reminds everyone about the “bump” nobody talks about and perhaps the only “sawdust moment” in the history of wrestling. And of course you’ll find out why, “I did it… for the Rock.”

  1. Never knew I wanted to know about the ins and outs of Rikishi's career yet here I am, excited to listen. I'm even going to happily listen thru the Blue Chew hard dick pill and mortgage ads.

  2. Congrats on your wedding Conrad on the real I hope you guys have a happy life together man!

  3. Is it true that Rikishi once gave the stink face and shit all over the guy's face?

  4. CRINGE CONRAD
    Inviting listeners to your wedding.
    What if New Jack or Haku shows up ??

  5. You'd think they would have been able to put Conrad's head on Rikishi's ass in that graphic. Or was it too big to fit?

  6. Regarding the origin of the Stinkface, Rikishi said in an interview it was from some woman in the crowd screaming "RIKIIISHIII! STICK YOUR ASS IN HIS FAAAACE!" rather it being someing Vince had come up with as a core concept of the character, if I recall.

  7. Word life. Got my weekend load. Just picked it up a few hours ago. From Indianapolis, In going to Irving, Tx. Gonna listen while i drive my semi tractor down the highways.
