I thought Sim Snuka/Deuce would interfere at the end of that match and join.. but guess not.

No, but he should stop talking and be booked differently. He is supposed to be the muscle, but when he is against anybody bigger than Cody Rhodes, he seems to be on the raw end of the deal.

Manu IS Entertainment. I Wouldn't trade him for nothing. When Randy grabbed him by the shoulders and used him as a "battering Ram" ..

priceless

Manu is just plain fucking bland....He is a clone of Umaga almost...except he talks....and Ive always thought of Umaga as boring and bland as hell...Manu with maybe an attire and look change could work for me but he is way too much like Umaga right now for me to even consider liking...LEgacy is pretty fuckin cool but Manu brings it down and I wish Ted was back.

I'm guessing he doesn't fit because he's from the family of the Wild Samoans, the son of Afa. But he isn't that "wild" or savage at all, he's just another heel. He could be the power behind the group, but he doesn't look believable to me, because he doesn't have the look of some badass when I see him.

And just for the fact that he used a fake dick to try and pass a drug test...

Don't replace Manu. Rebrand his membership within the Legacy.

Trim the locks, change that "reverse-leotard" and give him a bouncer's outfit.

Where am I?

I said this when it first started, Manu just never fitted in with DiBiase and Rhodes. They had the whole 'we're better than our fathers' cocky heel thing going, whilst Manu just feels out of place. If he became more Umaga-like, not completely, just wilder and more out of control I suppose he could fit more, but it wouldn't make a difference.

Manu is pure filler anyway, Evolution is to Randy as Legacy is to DiBiase.

They do need to bring back DiBiase quickly. He wasn't that over in the first place to be taking out for so long.

WWE needs to book Manu sort of like they did with Batista when Evolution. The soft spoken monster taking out everyone, while Ted and Cody behave as the arrogant pricks.

He would fit even LESS is he was booked as a WILD samoan. It wouldn't make much sense either as logic would say that he'd be a lot more americanised and more ( :chokes: ) sophisticated than previous generations of his family.



And, LOL... Orton using him as a battering ram was the bollocks!

That's the type of role I think he'd suit, some wild fella Orton sends into battle.

they don't need to get rid of Manu they need to give half a shit about his character and give him a storyline... at the moment he might as well be a valet

What they need to do is form a Samoa wing of the Legacy stable.

The Samoa group would have Sim Snuka, Umaga and Manu. And oh yeah, give Manu a little bit of a makeover. Get him some tights with the Samoan tribal designs on it, kind of like Umaga, which is his cousin in real life, right?


*I saw the Samoan Family Tree a few years back but now I can't find it. It listed EVERYBODY in the business and how they're all related. It was cool, but kind of funny at the same time*
