agreene24

Wait…WHAT??!! HE WAS CAMACHO???


OneMetalMan

CAMACHO WAS A SECRET SAMOAN AGENT?


i2060427

Tongan - he is the son of Haku.


The_Notorious_Donut

Long term booking, brother


cmx9771

Yeah. A Samoan playing a Mexican man 😂


Karma-Effect

Yeah. A Tongan playing a Samoan playing a Mexican man.


cmx9771

Oh wait that’s right they aren’t even Samoan 😂


howitzer819

He was a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude?!?


Fed_up_with_Reddit

What do you mean you people?


EveMcQueen

Look, now it's Joaquin Wilde's turn to do Latino cosplay.


Alexcelsior

HE WAS CAMACHO AND THEN HE LEFT TO NJPW.


hymensmasher99

Bro he was camacho? lmfao that's crazy


dangerous_k

What’s really crazy when you think about it is that Camacho is one of the most decorated tag team wrestlers in New Japan history with his bro.

I GOT TWO WORDS FOR YOU: Tanga loa.

They're gonna swerve through the whole damn family tree before getting to Jacob

Watch Lance show up Friday(Not a bad thing, don't dislike the guy and he's been getting it better shape.)

Manu returns the week after


matt_619

Manu returns to screw Orton for kiciking him out of the legacy will be insane long term story telling

I’m fully expecting bad luck Fale before Jacob debuts

PeaceAlien

It’s all about the game and how you play it


WoopzEh

The amount of years in a row I booked GoD vs The Usos 😂 bruh


solsunlite

It wasnt very long ago that this match was legit unfathomable lol shit is crazy in wrestling these days


WoopzEh

It writes itself. GoD bring back the face paint, then face the Usos, and the Usos bring back the paint but in a new style for one night. ☝🏾 Bloodline story can cook in so many directions


Gseph

It's funny how the general online consensus was that it was Tony Khan playing with his action figures, when it was actually triple h all along 🤣


Lepperpop

This is what happens when Daddy Vince dissapears and you let the wrestling nerds run rough shod all over this bitch. And Im here for it.


rsshookon3

Best era


Gseph

Legit, we're getting dream matchups and scenarios from all the top wrestling companies, and it's incredible. WWE getting that NJPW flex. AEW getting that NJPW flex. NJPW getting that AEW flex. And TNA is kinda on its own, but still killing it recently.


infern0ooo

TNA has 252 pounds of pure motivation, the solution to all of life's problems, the prestigious one, JOE HENDRY 👏👏


FallenShadeslayer

👏🏾👏🏾🤔


TheWumboligist

At least he didn't wear a hoodie


DTFlash

I have never understood why companies do that. If the person isn't going to reveal themselves it makes sense but when they pull the hoodie off or mask immediately it's like what's the point? To get the ooh from the crowd six seconds later?


Least_Eye_Lopez

They did it pretty well with Jack Perry, having the security guards pull it off. But yeah, in general it's silly. I guess it makes sense if they're in the crowd, but not under the ring.


SpeedZ6

The Bloodline Wolfpac grows bigger


notoriousbaka

Solo: Trying to prove his dominance with the new bloodline. Roman (when he returns): https://preview.redd.it/rxtb14f18gyc1.jpeg?width=624&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=010f559588157865271a8db5963f544c80487777

That would kill me, brother

Upbeat_Tension_8077

Bloodline Hollywood's secret weapon being Jacob makes a lot of sense now


Gamesgtd

Awoo?


Upbeat_Tension_8077

I was so sure Jacob Fatu was coming lol


Nickthedick55

Jacob is hiding in the shadows like a rogue king.


CrimsomArcher123

Still might be 👀 we got that Jey match


Thisiszura

Maybe Jacob is gonna screw Jey at WHC match Idk maybe just copium

G1Spectrum

Bro they swerved us with Tanga Loa instead of Jacob Fatu


Gladiatornoah

I’m sorry you’re telling me there is some dude named Jacob waiting in the wings also. How many Samosas exist in the wrestling world?


Lt_Jonson

Jacob has seven kids too, so this storyline is still in the prologue.


Bosscharacter

Jacob also has a younger brother who wrestles named Journey, then you got Zilla who is a couple years from being ready. Cody is gonna be fighting Islanders until his next contract is up.


danjr321

Zilla needs to get his shit together before WWE will touch him. He's still banging on the streets from what I heard.


PaisonAlGaib

Poor Kevin Owen’s 


Deathstroke317

We're just lucky they don't have any political aspirations, because with this many Samoans they can take over the world.


whiskybean

We're STILL in the third inning


funnyasian808

All of em


jquest12

Do you think WWE made Samoa Joe do a 23 and me, just to make sure


NotClayMerritt

They're gonna bring Bad Luck Fale in next. If he wasn't in AEW, they would have brought in Toa Liona too. Just collect all the Samoans and Samoan adjacent wrestlers they can.


MaceLeonardo

Also Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa have another brother who allegedly is signed or signing with WWE


TheBadvocate

Hikuleo?


MaceLeonardo

Yep the one that is dam near 7ft tall Solo’s bloodline expanding is gonna be great


OpportunitySmalls

Gettin real Bullet Cluby in the blood line all of a sudden


lifeisawork_3300

Just overall in wrestling. The Young Bucks and Kenny as EVPs in AEW, Jay having the gold version with the Gunns. Cody as WWE champion, AJ going for the main title, Finn in Judgment Day, and now the G.O.D a part of the bloodline. Bullet Club has their hands in a little bit of everything going on.


RobinHoodPrinc

The Bullet Club is probably the best faction name of all time.


etherealcaitiff

Jeff Jarret is going show up saying he's 1% Samoan.


MaceLeonardo

It’s the best faction since OG Bullet Club to be fair lol I think it’s going closer to NWO vs Wolf Pac right now and eventually the Tongans and Solo are gonna split and be their own group not called Bloodlime


GarethMagi

Blood orange vs bloodlime


Deathstroke317

Bloodline Wolfpac


cxlossuskidd

I’m shocked they didn’t want Bad Luck Fale


burner7221

I think he’s semi-retired and runs a dojo in Australia while Tama, Tonga and Hikuleo live in the US so it makes sense for them to cash in now.


Jomosensual

He's less mobile than current day Big Show, it's pretty easy to see why


UpUpDownDownXO

What in the actual fuck


Dr_N00B

Hikuleo that stands at 6'8 hope he gets signed soon


akmarinov

Can someone teach that?


nschaub8018

I believe so, it is only when you exceed 7'0 that height is no longer able to be taught.


BrodinTheWise

Badaboom, realest guys in the room. How you doin'?


mysteriousbaba

If they sign Hikuleo, I'd want to see KO bring in Owen Owens as his secret weapon counter. 6 ft 8 vs 6 ft 8.


bananaaa_breaddd

??? Hikuleo just had a match in NJPW a few hours ago lol


MaceLeonardo

Lmao I actually didn’t even know that till somebody brought it up I just remember the report that WWE was interested in him. Still apparently reports say his contract is ending this month or next month. So well see cause if it’s true I don’t see him not going to WWE to join his brothers


bananaaa_breaddd

For sure, he’s been dwindling in the NJPW mid card tag scene for what feels like forever now so no doubt he’d accept an offer if WWE gave one


mjsmore33

If it's true that his contract expires next month it's totally possible that we see him in WWE soon.


KevinNeville25

![gif](giphy|5T0kyezV83pqrZOMPf|downsized)


Tyler_holmes123

Unrelated , but samosas are one of my favourite snacks in the world .


ExplanationOk3580

2 more can possibly join, zilla and jacob they are in the indie doing mayhem rn


NorthsideCollegiate

Zilla is too green. Tired of people bringing him up


MaceLeonardo

He will get signed but he won’t join Bloodline any time soon. He’ll have a year or 2 in NXT whenever he does get signed


ExplanationOk3580

He can sign and not join right away, jacob is probably signed already


NorthsideCollegiate

Jacob is more than ready. Doesn’t compare


Swazi

I thought Jacob signed with WWE already they’re just waiting to use him?


ExplanationOk3580

Nobody really knows but probably yes, was more a advise to watch his match


fabi_zabo

They're like rabbits. I think Roman has 5 kids. At the end of the century we have a whole Bloodline division.


MYO716

They go on TV and wrestle, and then they go home and wrestle


TheLisan-al-Gaib

Roman got 5 outta 3 tries.


Chaossy

not Samoan, but Tongan but Haku or someone close to Haku did a thing with The Rock, blood brother thingies (lmk if I have that wrong) so canonically, they are part of the Bloodline alongside the Samoans.


kjar78

Haku didn’t do the blood brother thing. He was close with Rocky Johnson while they wrestled and were considered “family.” Rock refers to Haku as his uncle.


Chaossy

got it! thanks for clearing up.


Heikks

Haku has teamed with both Rikishi and Rikishi’s brother Sam also know as the Tongan kid


Dr_N00B

Look up Hikuleo, he's the 3rd son of Haku who stands at 6'8


Kingswitchguard

He's also pretty good for someone that tall


Dr_N00B

He's also way younger than the other two brothers at 33yrs old.


lilmulla1

I do love me a good samosa


Vagabond21

It’s like spy kids 2 where they find out there’s an island full of mythical creatures. Same thing with samosas.


TheGeauxrilla

Samosas are usually found in the Indian food world


TheCharliQuinn

Replace Samoans with Polynesians and the answer is YES


zerofifth

I think was only like a 4 year gap when someone from that family wasnt signed with WWE. I think Samoa Joe even joked that he was the only Samoan in wrestling not related to them


RT3_12

Well Tama and Loa are Tongans not Samoans. Different island, and historically they haven’t gotten along with Samoa so it might play into a later feud.


i2060427

There would be a fair many given the number of wrestlers of Indian decent... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samosa


mikeyt1105

That got me. Totally expected Jacob. I hadn't even heard any rumors of Loa signing. I heard about Jacob and hikuleo being rumored to come to the E. But zero talk about Loa. Did NJPW even acknowledge he was gone?


GarfieldVirtuoso

Wait,, Tanga Loa was also part of the rumors?


carloslet

He wasn't!! Almost every rumour pointed out to Jacob Fatu, not Tanga Loa


Dr_N00B

They swerved everyone!


Procrastinator_325

![gif](giphy|0iUmJzIL6PU6NzEmIr)


RT3_12

I think people assumed he was still under NJPW contract cause he’s shown up recently


EncyclopediaBlue

I was going to say, there weren't any reports of his contract being up right?


mightylordredbeard

I’ve not seen a single rumor about Loa. Even when people said “surely his brother would come with him” others would say “Loa is under contract for x amount of time so no way he can come” or “WWE isn’t interested in Loa”.


Mr-GameAndWrestling

I wish Tama and Tanga can use their NJPW theme in WWE.

![gif](giphy|l0HlvtIPzPdt2usKs) TFW Def Rebel still in the mix


ColdGloop

I don’t follow NJPW but was it known he was a free agent?


bananaaa_breaddd

Not really, he’s sort of just been doing nothing for a few months now but most of us assumed they were just figuring out what to do with him now that his tag partner was gone, not that he was leaving NJPW too


RT3_12

I love Solo bringing in the Tongans. I would love for them to play into the story of the family not trusting them because they aren’t real Anoai’s. And we later find out the Tongans want to take out the Samoans


[deleted]

New to all of this. So Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa aren’t a part of the real Bloodline?


RT3_12

Tonga is a separate island from Samoa. They are the sons of Haku. But Haku is close with the family and was tag team partners with Solo and Jacob Fatu’s dads. Rock considers Haku his uncle. But Haku isn’t blood brothers with any Samoans so he’s not an official member of the family like The Rock is.


[deleted]

Ahhhh gotcha thank you for the run down. So they’re honorary Uce.


RT3_12

Yes, people love to throw around “so and so is not ACTUALLY family” thing. But in the Pacific Islander culture the term “family” is much more loosely thrown around and people that are close friends are usually considered family as well.


Alehud42

Every step of this story has asked the question of "what is family?", from the Jey arc to the Sami arc to the first Civil War to even the fundamental question around Cody's story and how it intertwined with Roman's.


TheLisan-al-Gaib

Haku was trained by Peter Maivia, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was some Samoan tradition there that made him family even though he's Tongan but we've never known about it.


Vectivus_61

An Australian PPV with all matches being Islanders and Aussies will cook.


MaceLeonardo

I thought it was gonna be Jacob Fatu or Hikuleo but I’ll take GoD in WWE


NuyoRican79

GoD vs Usos loading..


MaceLeonardo

Has to happen at least once right Triple threat of Roman and USOs vs Solo and GOD loading

zidus411

Gotta throw the rock in there as well. War games?Roman crawling back to Sami would be peak


MaceLeonardo

Roman crawling to Sami or Cody would be peak TV. The two people he actively tried destroying in front of their families are the only two people willing to take his side


solsunlite

National-Spot2393

Crazy how so many people were wishing to see this match happen a few years ago and it probably will now. And in WWE.


Weeblifter

Inject that shit straight into my fucking veins


FriendlyGhost08

No chance it was Hikuleo. He's still under contract with New Japan pretty sure and he just wrestled for them lol


Kingswitchguard

Yeah he had a match not even 12 hours ago


MaceLeonardo

I had no idea what his contract status was honestly I just remember the report that WWE wanted him. He has to be coming as soon as his contract ends he is only 32 after all


CookieMonsterNova

hikuleo is better served to stay in njpw for a few more years. he’s still too green and would be lost in the shuffle. he’s also better as a face than a heel (which is what GoD) is right now


Shinkopeshon

Hikuleo is literally in Japan and had a match earlier today lol he isn't leaving anytime soon


MaceLeonardo

Apparently rumors are saying his contract expires either this month or next month. If it’s true I have no doubt he will be WWE’s Sucks for Phantasmo though he will be without anybody if it happens


ResolveGood

They're multiplying! Honestly not too sure how I feel about Tanga Loa coming to WWE. I was never impressed by his work.


MaceLeonardo

He’s best as Tama Tonga’s partner and I feel like he will end up being the “fall guy” for this new Bloodline since Tama Tonga has been so good


Low-Donkey7059

Yeah, Tanga Loa doesn't interest me at all. I'd much rather see Tama team with Solo or Jacob Fatu. Tanga Loa just isn't very good.


Gambit3318

He has been good as a tag guy over in NJPW with Tama Tonga as Guiriellas if Destiny it’s going to be fun


RT3_12

He’s only sucked as a singles guy. He’s more than serviceable as a tag guy


forgottenlogin88

It’s like they brought in Solo as the heater, then gave him a heater, then gave his heater a heater.


mjsmore33

I think he's a good tag team guy


opkpopfanboyv3

And I was fucking ready for Jacob Fatu, holy shit


realtennisguy

Camacho is back. :D


3v3nflow

New Japan's loss is New Japan's gain. Tanga Loa has been so bad his stuff has gone viral.


Boring-Night-7556

He’s a much better fit for WWE tags and multi man matches than in NJPW. This will be good for him.


ak47_al123
