Leaner, faster, better

[The Rated R CMStar]

Well, last Friday, we saw the return of the Samoan Bulldozer, and imo, taking away his awful new theme shong, he looked really good.

Sure, it was just a squash, but the fact that he looks leaner certainly excites me (no homo) as if Umaga was capable of doing great, athletic things when looking really heavy, now that he dropped all that weight, his presence in the ring should even be more exciting.

So, what do you think? Do you think Umaga will bounce back to be better? Did you find his theme music as horrid as I did? But did you find those tats on his chest as sweet as I?

I've only seens pics of the match on wwe.com but he does look leaner and I'm hoping they give him a solid, epic push again. Even when he was bigger he could do some athletic things that would surprise people, but now he should be capable of even more. There's just the question of who he could get into a fued with.

I was actually hoping he'd come return and begin a program with someone. But I'm sure now it'll be a month or so of squashes before he does. But I'm hoping he wont get lost and maintain upper in the mid-card/main event. Throwing him in a tag-team as others have said in other threads would be dumb. That'd pull him back not elevate him. There's a lot of guys that he'll have 1st time meetings with, so everything should be fresh. I wasn't expecting him to get a face reaction like that though, I wonder if WWE will cash in on that or keep him heel. Oh yeah, and his new theme music sucks.

His music is terrible. I'd much rather hear Lady GaGa's Pokerface than that shit he walked out to.

Umaga looked good, let's see how he goes in the next few weeks, before really wanting him in something.

It don't matter about his music he didn't look as if he missed a beat. For a guy like umaga to come back after knee surgery that's a big deal. A guy his size had to work hard lose weight and have patience on his comeback.. I think after this weeks destroying of funaki i think he will fight a handicap match the Friday before NWO against the two and beat them. Come NWO he will cost some a match up probably mvp im guessing then a mvp vs benjamin vs umaga storyline. With umaga being the tweener mvp godo guy and benjamin heel. I think benjamin and mvp will have a good match on smackdown this or next week setting up a us title at nwo. That's when umaga comes in. I expect him to be in the MITB somehow going into wm25. The summer time will be umagas big feuds vs taker and khali etc.

Yeah i think Umaga looked pretty damn good this week. He has lost some weight which is always a plus. His music sucks balls. But yeah im hoping he does big things this year. him and MVP i think will get pretty good pushes. Fingers crossed.

The idea of Umaga in Money in The Bank interest me.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

Give him another winning streak, then set him up with the champion. And don't have him as a face, please don't.

 

[Great One]

His new theme is fine... although I do believe he should try to talk on the mic now. Maybe just always be ecstatic and shout and that could work.

I've been a fan of Umaga since he destroyed Flair.
Theres no doubt this guy is the most talented big man weve since in a long time. I think if they open up his character a bit...reveal that he speaks English... it may open a lot of doors for Umaga.
There's a lot this guy can do on Smackdown and I really hope to see him receive a nice push in 2009. Oh and BTW, I missed SD this week but saw pics on WWE.com.....does he have a big scary tatt of his face on his pec now? He's fuckin nuts..lol.
And Umaga in MITB....that actually does sound like a sick idea.



....and his new music does blow...

this i agree with he looked good and a lot fitter than before but please dont have him as a face,,,heel all the way wwe

 

[noumenon]

The only reason he got a face reaction was because he was fresh of a return and people miss good ol' Umaga violence. I'm sure after a few weeks he'll slam his ass into some face's face.
