Jr definitely knew. Maybe not the full extent of what he was upto but I'm sure jr knew somthing .. and jet quiet I've lost alot of respect for these people tbh
How about that Samoan spike? Dude looked like he was out in the ring shooting guys in the throat every night. Dude had 2 of the most believable finishers of the past 20 years
I miss Ekkie very much. He was SUPER talented for his size and one of my favorite talents. I can only imagine how he would have fit into this whole bloodline storyline. I know for sure he would have been involved and made a huge impact. RIP big man gone but NEVER forgotten. Talosia ia e vaai i lalo ma faamanuia i latou o lo outou aiga.

we all die. It is what it is. I cant believe Vince McMahon, Jerry Lawler and JR are still alive. Facts. You need to work out your inner-self. If you don't believe in an afterlife of any-type, your comment makes sense. But if you do believe in any type of life beyond (energy cannot be destroyed), then your comment is immature.
R.I.P Eddie Fatu! I've enjoyed a lot of wrestlers in my years watching, but by far, "Umaga" was my favorite star. Such ashame he passed, but it's great to see the "Samoan Dynasty" as a whole on top and a lot of them pay homage to him!
6:40 is when they actually talk about Umaga. The title could be clearer as it doesn't actually talk about Umaga's firing before he died but Fatu's leading up to that.
This is why I’m a fan of Conrad, he always makes sure to have his guys backs to make sure no one takes JRs words the wrong way. He always makes his guys look good and protects them in such subtle smart ways and for that I respect the hell outta Conrad for.
If you knew that he was talking about Umaga when he was known as Jamal and was part of the tag team 3 Minute Warning with his cousin, known as Rosey, which was before the Rock, it would make sense.
I feel like Umaga would’ve been a huge star in the early 90s pre attitude era especially if he had Jim Cornette as a manager. I wouldn’t say world champion put top heel for sure.
@@CalvinTennessee The point he makes is that they are not talking about Umaga, but his previous character Jamal and considering he later, when he was fired as Umaga, makes this a bit confusing.
@@TheNerdDogg The title's confusing, but they're talking about before that, when he performed as Jamal. He was in a bar fight, and you can imagine there were other issues and incidents along the same vein.
Yeah like 20 years later, I'm sure his job 2 decades prior was the primary consideration and not the fact that he himself had recently been let go from the only other televised wrestling product 😂
My top 5 favs 5.Batista 4. Stone Cold 3.Shawn Michaels 2.Umaga 1.HHH Umaga looked similar to me and was so cool to watch, i definitely was a huge mark for him when that music played...i knew someone was gonna get their azz beat!
This all bulls*** remember these are the same people that decided to fire Lance Cade when he asked them for help after going through painkiller withdrawal. Their "solution" was to let him go. *Beep* JR he has always a two faced suck-up for Vince. Just like with Vince I would say good luck with your final days bub, you are going to much a sadder and hotter place than any of these dead wrestlers that you helped put in the ground.
You CANT make exceptions? YOU CANT MAKE EXCEPTIONS?...... The guy that showed up on house shows, on raw and on ppvs CLEARLY on stuff... Can't make exceptions...... The exception is STILL WITH THE COMPANY. He's older and bald now. Your freaking world champion in 1996 was WAAAAAAAY worse then Umaga. SMFH. WHAT does HBK have on the company? It has to be bigger then the trafficing scandal.
Michaels got away with the shit he did because he was one of the biggest draws in the company at time when the company wasn't drawing big. Basically, Michaels was one of the only ones still making Vince reliable money. You notice he slinked off into the shadows when Austin & Johnson became mega-stars. Trust & believe, if Michaels still had his issues after the WCW buy-out, for sure they would've bounced him.
@@spicytoephu he and the rock had problems since before day 1. Have you ever noticed in the attitude era, in the ruthless aggression era and all the times they both came back they NEVER had a one on one match. Michaels vs the rock never happened. It wasn't because that HBK and 3H were badmouthing him to Vince. HBK got kod by the peoples champion when he was like 16. HBK was working for the promotion the rocks family had. Apparently he was pissed off about a payoff and screamed at the rocks grandmother, said the wrong thing and Tony atlas said he (the rock) knocked him out then physically threw him out of the building.

@FrostWazowski you're not wrong, his stuff looked great too bad solo wouldn't take pointers
You guys need to watch Meng.

With 4cmillion to his name you'd think he'd just retire from wrestling do the podcast and look after himself

@immortalysunJamal+
Yo JR. Im from canada and watching you on raw back in the day was awesome. Your the man JR i just wanted you to know. Your awesome
Is from Cucknada, doesn't know the difference between you're and your.
Embarrassing but unsurprising.
JR'S timeline just doesn't match up. The Rock didn't come take his place. The Rock was around way before Umaga
As a kid I feared umaga more than undertaker lol
I thought Johnny Ace was the one firing people by this time?
Theyre talking about his first run in the company before he came back as Umaga

Conrad is a stooge
Conrad SUCKSSS
Conrad is horrible
Umaga could have been the biggest Samoan star but rock came along” none of that made sense

@@jamesgraham5876The Rock reached superstardom in 1999/2000, a couple years before 3MW even debuted.
Right? The Rock had been a star well before Umaga or 3 Minute Warning lol
I feel like Umaga would’ve been a huge star in the early 90s pre attitude era especially if he had Jim Cornette as a manager. I wouldn’t say world champion put top heel for sure.
If Yoko was champion, umaga would’ve been champion as well. Umaga was a whole other level
*The End* Never knew that.
Because of his finisher
I get that he's best known as Umaga, but the title was very confusing.
what are you talking about ?
@@CalvinTennessee The above video and its title.
@@cjmckay309 obviously, but WHAT did you not understand about it ?
@@CalvinTennessee The point he makes is that they are not talking about Umaga, but his previous character Jamal and considering he later, when he was fired as Umaga, makes this a bit confusing.
JR dropping gems
"You don't want to confront the old man you want to converse"
Umaga and Rosey R.I.P🕊🕊
Umaga was a really great character concept.. but the storywriters sucked they made him way to 1 dimensional.
What did Umaga do to get fired ?
Refuse rehab to kick drug addiction out of his system.
@@TheNerdDogg The title's confusing, but they're talking about before that, when he performed as Jamal. He was in a bar fight, and you can imagine there were other issues and incidents along the same vein.
Smoked crack
"Only way i know to fix it is to let him go and to let him mature because we sure as hell like to bring him back..."
UmaNGa, by gawd Keeeeng, we fired UmaNGa!
It changed him so much that he went to a company that doesn't fire anybody, regardless of the bs they put in the ring
Yeah like 20 years later, I'm sure his job 2 decades prior was the primary consideration and not the fact that he himself had recently been let go from the only other televised wrestling product 😂
Who and where are you talking about?
Salute JR
Love you JR!!
Hey ross? Why didn't wwe not even mention that he died when it happened? You all do it with everyone else
JR: This is why I had to…
There’s no need to explain. We all know who the boss was. Most of us also understand how business works.
JR we need Zilla Fatu to go in WWE as the Zumaga/Umaga Jr the son of late umaga
"we cant make exceptions" is the mist BS statement of all time.
Coming from one of the most BS guys in the business too.
Shawn got plenty of chances.
Ric Flair literally evaded rape and pedo charges
This is JR uncensored, I can't believe it compared to his on TV gimmick, so weird to hear.
Reminded me of Pampero Firpo.
Umaga died not long after he was fired. Maybe it was a bad idea to fire Umaga.
His death was a result of his drug use it was no one's fault but his own. It's sad he was great but it isnt anyone elses fault
He's talking about his run as Jamal in 3 minute warning. He later came back as Umaga. By then JR wasn't in talent relations anymore.
@fishin4bass2002troll
@@JeremyHamil-od4jrstfu it was wwe fault they make everything worse
Wasn’t The Rick kind of a big deal before Jamal/Umaga hit the scene?
Vince put his company in jeopardy lol
What did Umaga do wrong?
I knew umaga was with 3 minute warning lol
Umaga probably would have made a comeback if it wasn’t for his demise.
Umaga my favourite ❤❤
Youmanga!!!
How on earth did they let Shawn Michaels do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted for so long then??
You have to be messing up badly when you’re related to Dwayne and you still don’t have job security.
that's crazy, it was a fast fall for Umaga unfortunately
What happened??
@@MacJnrD it's a sad story, he had great potential & a big upside & was featured in WrestleMania & then the slippery slope of fame.. in my opinion
@@MacJnrD some heels just don't make it for whatever reason & the heroes too, look at Lex, he's happy just to be alive at this point
This makes the Bobby lashley thing upsetting cuz he beat umaga at that mania .. the bloodline should resent him for that
Someone let's me go over the phone, Don't want it to last longer than a minute, Corny style, "Thank you, Fuck you, Bye.". 😉

So was this before 3 minute warning?
Why did he got fired
Why does an announcer have the power to fire anyone?
JR was an announcer and head of talent relations.

Cringe conrad
but michaels screwed up over and over and over. apparently umaga wasn't gay.
what ? you manga was fired before he died ?
I think around 04. He was there around 02-03 in 3 min warning's first run
what drugs was he on?
H
When you relize that umaga is where trump got maga and u
His dead now nobody cares
