WWE Hall of Famer Wild Samoan Afa Anoa’i passed away on Friday, at the age of 81. The Rock posted the following tribute on Instagram:
“Rest in Love Uncle Afa
Uncle Afa Anoa’i is finally at peace with his brother, Uncle Sika Anoa’i.
‘The Wild Samoans’ were trailblazers in the world of professional wrestling. Multi-time @WWE tag team champions and eventually, bestowed their rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
The last picture is one of my all time favorites – it’s my uncles Afa and Sika with my grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia – and I believe that’s Professor Toru Tanaka.
What I love about this picture is you can SEE & FEEL the LOVE & MANA amongst these smiling, loving men.
You can also see and feel that this wasn’t a table you wanted to f*ck with!
I love you uncle and I’ll never forget what you did for our family in ‘87. ‘Come to me’
Nashville to Bethlehem.
Give my grandpa and my dad a kiss and a hug from me.
#restinlove #uncleafa #anoai”
