Guide Note

Solofa Fatu (aka Rikishi) is a Samoan-American professional wrestler, who is best known for his WWE career as a dancing, thong-wearing big man.

After failed gimmicks as a "Headshrinker" and "The Sultan," Rikishi teamed with Too Cool (Brian Christopher and Scotty 2 Hotty) and entertained fans with their dancing at the end of matches.

Perhaps Rikishi's most memorable move was neither his Banzai Drop or Rikishi Driver finishers, but the Stinkface, where he'd pummel an opponent into a corner until they fell to the first turnbuckle. Then, Rikishi pulled up his thong and shoved his behind into his opponent's face--a humiliating and hilarious move among fans.

At the peak of his career, Rikishi was involved in a main event storyline as the man who ran over WWE's top star Stone Cold Steve Austin, keeping Austin out of action for nearly a year.

Rikishi currently wrestles on the independent circuit.
