In their culture adoption means nothing they do a blood oath making the as one so rock is his grandson and the adoption title is erased they are blood I actually love how they do thats also this is why the rock had to prove himself so that he could earn his title/status as high chief over the bloodline and he was given the name and status by the king of samoa look it up his name even says high chief on the family tree from last nights press conference while roman is second basically like in this order The Aliʻi- THE ROCK Tulafale-roman reigns

Never call a native a "savage" We show you just how savage we can be. This goes for all tribes. I'm not Samoan; Lakota Sioux. I'd be hell pissed off if someone called me a savage. Its what the "civilized" society used to classify you as lower class, subhuman. You can use it to justify the bullshit you do to the people because their only "savages", barely above animals.

having just finished the video, its a work. He didn’t pull that guys eye out. A lot of these old wrasslin stories are embellished. you can pop somebody’s eye out but you’re not doing so without permanently damaging their eye sight. I’m sure he beat the guy up and then it turned into a big fish story

From Mike Aldren's Wrestling Globe: We were honored to receive a letter from Billy Robinson regarding his altercation with Peter Maivia (Grandfather of The Rock) which we noted in the last newsletter. Billy tells us that the altercation took place in late 1969 during a tour of Japan. This is his first ever public comments on the matter 41 years later. He writes, "Peter Maivia was a great guy. I knew him in England, and got him and George Gordienko booked in Japan for that tour. Peter was a little wild when he had a few drinks. We were in the south of Japan and in an area where not too many people spoke English. Peter got impatient and started to act up which was making things worse and nobody was getting served at the bar. I told him to grow up and shut up so that we could all get served, which he did, but Peter being Peter, it played on his mind. On the way back to the hotel Peter for some reason wanted to fight me and started throwing punches. I grabbed him and held him so he couldn't move. He then tried to bite me in the neck, so I pulled my jaw down so he couldn't do any real damage, but he bit through cheek. When I saw the blood I got angry and knocked him out... he was unconscious for 25 minutes. I had to go to hospital to get a shot for the bacteria. The next day I found out that George had instigated the whole episode so I went into both their rooms, locked the door and challenged them. Neither wanted to do anything after that. And a couple of days later we were good friends again, As for the eye story, I had an operation on my right eye when I was 11 years old. Peter did not have the ability as a street fighter to get close to my eyes, and the reason I got bitten was because I didn't want to hurt him. But as you know over the years stories get exaggerated... Reputations are usually made by people who have never been on the mat, or in a street fight. Like most pro wrestlers/workers they start to believe they know how to wrestle and are really tough. But they never seem to have fought or beat anyone."

A guy got in his face at a bar in my town he slammed him threw a table and into the wall. The guy was tossed out onto the street. As Ron White put it, hurled like a frisbee. He drank for free. And it was a huge tab, bit they made it back with fans
