What's that feeling like, man, is at the end of the day, you know the feeling with my family, besides the entertainment side, you know, man, we as soon as we walk in the door, man, we drop everything out the door. So, you know, just to be, just to see them be themselves, you know, on another. Besides the entertainment side, you know, just to see them as uncle or bro, you know, like when they see me, I'm, I'm. Everybody know me as Jacob Fatu, you know. But my family, bro, you know, they know me as Jake, you know, I'm Jake or ooh or you feel me, Jacopo, you know, I mean, that, that, that's what they call me, a Samoan, you know. Jacopo means Jake, you know, so it's real cool at the end of the day especially bro, when we are together because I'll be tripping out too. Like, damn, bro, that's teaching. Yeah. I mean, like, you know, but man, I'm like, I didn't, I didn't grow up wanting to wrestle, you mean. But to be a part of it now and to see how, how we're doing things now, to see how I develop now, like I said, this, man, this. This one forced. It was happened organically. But, man, I'm so proud to be a part of it. I really am, bro. And, you know, first time when I did get beat by my family, you know, now, first SummerSlam. Well, second SummerSlam, solo main evented last year against Cody, which was awesome. You know what I mean, man, my brother took that on his back and did his thing, but now, instead of me helping him this year, now about to kick his ass this year, but, man, it feels good, though, man. Well, Roman and the best tag team in the world, the USO's big gym, man. Mr. Ye, man. So, man, I'm very happy, man, very blessed to be a part of this, this. And, you know, I'll be tripping out. Like, I'm a fan at the end of the day. I mean, like, even when I see Hunter, I be tripping up, like, man, what's going on? Hey, I mean, you know, I mean, that's my boss. But, man, I'm loving it, bro. I really am loving it, man. What about the next generation in the family? Like, y' all bring them to step into it or. Yeah, well, you know, Jay Jay speaks about this. You know, my nephew Jace, you know, he got a couple more years. He asked his dad the other day, or, you know, he asked his dad. You know, I know Jason don't want to get into it. You know, he want to be a tag team, like how Dom and Rey Mysterio was. So, you know, that's pretty dope, man. Shout out to my nephew, man. But my girls, man, my girls is definitely locked in with it. It's crazy. Cause I was on the Independence. I mean. I mean, y' all know the Independence. I mean, I was on there for a while, bro. My kids never used to watch me until I got to wwe. I'm like, what the hell? Yeah. I mean, my wife, man, how the kids doing? She's like, oh, man, they was watching you. Yeah, I. I'm like, man, what about when dad was wrestling with no shoes on? But, you know, bro, it's the grind. It's a struggle. And they asked me, I don't know if y' all see my independent stuff, but I was. I. I wrestled with no shoes for 12 years. I was USO Flex on back then. Hold on, bro. That might be Scooby Doo. Damn. Wrong, man. Yeah, but, man, bro, just. Just. And it was funny, bro. They asked. They told me. They said, hey, man, you know, you need to wear boots. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm like, man, I'm comfortable with no shoes. I would never forget, bro. I called Paul heyman. I said, Mr. Heyman, I think I want to wrestle with no shoes, man. He done hit me with the. All right, man, listen, man, it's either we could make money wearing no shoes, or we could make a lot of fucking money wearing shoes. And I was like, man, sir, I don't even know why I called you an ass. Let me hang up. Real. Yeah. Running out there barefoot is crazy, man. Bro, what?
- [14:07]
Jacob Fatu
So.
- [14:07]
Host
So to go back on that, they said, hey, bro, I can. Man, let's be 100, bro. You don't get paid that much on the independence. I mean, I had a. I had a household my kids take care of.
- [14:17]
Jacob Fatu

- [14:17]
Host
They said, jake, why you never wore shoes? I was like, bro, I couldn't afford this. I really couldn't. But thank God, you know, my. It kind of fit me because, you know, the S' More SWAT team, the S. Shrinkers.

Host
To the Samoan bulldozer, man. My uncle Eki, Eddie Fatu, you know what I mean? Alpha and Sika, the wild Samoans, you know, so it a part of the lineage. But, man, I'm not gonna lie, bro. I. I was so happy and I didn't understand why I never did wear boots until I start wearing it. I mean, cuz, there's no way I could see me walking out there now with those shoes. That was your first shoe of boot, not a Tennessee. Well, no, it was actually flip flops. Flip flops. There you go. Last. I did a run in flip flops one time, bro. Yeah, we ran in, bro. It was at a flea market. And I swear, bro, you know, this is when I'm first getting started. Yeah, I'm trying to get it in and get it out. One thing, if y' all coming up in the game and, and. And I gotta say this, bruh, if y' all coming up, don't do it for the money. Don't think you're just gonna wrestle for a year or two getting older. I mean, social media is very powerful now. Yeah, but, man, bro, if y' all don't have passion for this, if y' all don't love this, I mean, if y' all can't take criticism or none of that, bro, y' all stay. Stay out the way with it, all right? It doesn't happen overnight. Like I said, it took me 12 years to get here, going on 13. And, boy, I'm still learning around this thing, you know what I mean? For sure.
- [15:41]
Jacob Fatu

Host
By the hard work. Absolutely, man. And, you know, and. And. And it's also. And I tell my kids this all the time, you know, man, I. I just. I found what I was good at, you know? I really did. Thank God I had the genes to actually do it. Cause not all our family members have the genes to come wrestle, you know what I mean? So, you know, instead of drop kicking up here, they drop us in our shins down here. I mean, so it's a little different, bro. I mean, but, man, when I found out I was good at it, man, I just stuck with it. Not only that, bro, it kept me out of jail, bro. When I was 18, I went to jail, man. I couldn't take a looking at 12 other guys on the toilet. The toilet facing, man. I want to play, you know, shout out to my wife, though, bro. A real one, bro. Cause, bro, when I was locked down, if you don't got nobody when you go to jail, man, bro, you ain't getting no commissary, no money on the books, no letters. You ain't. I mean, so, you know, feel good to come up with somebody, you know, who actually came up with me, you know what I mean? So, yeah, shout out to you. Hello. The USO family. The best family in sports. I mean, in the wrestling. Oh, man. Yeah. Hell, yeah. I'm gonna step on that. The liars. You said that. I was like, damn, man. I hope Roman in that. Yeah, we winning right now. But you know what?

The stuff that people don't see. Yeah. I mean, not saying this is easy, like, don't get it, you know, and it's. I, this ain't for y'. All. This for everybody out there. Yeah. Don't think this is just, wake up, come to work. We living a life. Nah. Like, man, the travel, the sacrifices, the time by ourselves, the days we spend at the airport. Like, well, I said it yesterday, we couldn't do it yesterday because we were at the airport from 11 o'. Clock. Well, we supposed to leave at 11, but it's just, bro, we're there all day. Yeah. You know, thank God for facing. I don't know how my father and them did it back then, you know, with no FaceTime. FaceTime makes it easy, though. For the kids and for us to get through and everything, man. Yeah. But also walking out there, you know, and hearing them chant, you know, me solo. And the USO's are real. You know, we're all fatu. Yeah. You know what I mean? So, man, Jimmy caught it the other day, man. Feel good that, you know, for the world to champ, you know? And I didn't do that. Like I said, it just happened organically. The crazy thing was it started in San Antonio when they start chanting fatu. But on another note, they was already doing that on the Indies, though. So when I heard it in wwe, man, I got emotional on it. Cause it's like, damn, bruh. Like, man, we here now. You know what I mean? So it's good, man. I'm very thankful.

Host
I told you, I was wrestling at the. At the swap meet. Is that the craziest place where you got it, like, wrestling at, man? Say it again. Was that the craziest place you ever like, you know how many times, man? No, it's actually out here in New Jersey. It was outside of a bar. Oh, man. It was outside of a bar. Some wrestling or some real. No, no, no. Wrestling. No, no. I'm learning. I mean, it's. It's kind of 50, but it was out here, bro. It was in New Jersey. And it was just, you know, bro, I'll show y' all after this. But, man, we just came out of a. It was like a. At a park, a bar, and it was, you know, the little things where people are at the park. They got the tables, got the grill. It's a canopy over there. Yeah, yeah. So that was our dressing room, bruh, and walked out of the dressing room, right to the ring. And you know, man, it ain't really wrestling fans. I mean, but you gotta go out there. I learned to go out there. Rather it's five people or 500,000 people, man, you go do it, you know, you go give all you got. During the pandemic, I think it really helped me because, man, we were wrestling shows, but we had a wrestle. Cause I needed. I needed to get paid, you know what I mean? But we would do it with no fans, and I was actually having fun. But that's when I knew, like, okay, I think I got something here. I mean. Cause I was really out there acting like there was people. There was nobody there but us during the pandemic. But, man, that. That really helped me regroup on my character type thing. So. Okay, yeah, man, we doubling back, though. But other than that, bruh, it's definitely just the bar out here. Yeah, yeah, definitely the bar out here in New Jersey, the swap meet. And, man, this brown, bro, we wrestle. If you come from the Independence, man, you're gonna have to go through that, you know, you're gonna have to go through that ship, you know, Bro, I don't wrestle for $20, bro. I used to go back and forth arguing with people over $60, you know what I mean? But sometimes I had to do it for free, you know, because then again, that's where the passion come from. You got to do it for free. And when they. I don't care what y' all say out there, like, okay, you wrestle for a hot dog and a handshake. Okay? Yeah. So what? Now look. Yeah, yeah. Now look where we at. You know, you got to make those sacrifices, right?
