Prince Iaukea.....he really could've been something. Guy was being compared to Rock around 97 and just shows you that WCW would've fucked up Rock too. Wasted potential for a helluva hand in the ring and a good looking guy who was never given any mic time. So it was hard to gauge what kind of promo skills he had....lol Artist Formerly Know As...

Crockett Sr, wasn't a big wrestling promoter, did better with concerts and circuses, was Jr who stopped nickel and diming the wrestlers and got on TBS.
