The Watch List takes a look at what matches you should be watching and they come recommended by today’s professional wrestling stars.
WrestleZone recently spoke with Jacob Fatu, who is fond of some of his work in MLW, including the Winner Takes All match against Alex Hammerstone at Fightland 2021. Fatu said that he isn’t doing a gimmick when he’s on television, and shared where some of that intensity is channeled from.
“Man, I feel like the La Parka match that happened in Chicago, [fans] are going to get that [when they see me in the ring],” Fatu explained. “I would say the Hammerstone match, me and Hammerstone for the belts. I’d also say this crazy-ass match I had with Mads Krugger in Philly. They are definitely going to get that side.
“Yeah, you see Jacob Fatu being myself off-camera, there’s always a light switch though before I walk out there to the ring. That’s not just ‘that’s how it’s booked’ or that’s the gimmick, what we need. No, fuck that, that’s 100 percent what they get, and it’s all they’re gonna get, especially when I’m walking out there. It’s not just a work, it’s not a gimmick. This is my family, my children, my wife and legacy, the Samoan Dynasty. Everything that I’ve got to hold on my back just to get through and keep that name without riding off of my family members. They going to get that pure, uncut Werewolf shit. Jacob Fatu, coming from the gutter, man.”
