@kunalsummerJacob Fatu traces the 'Samoan Werewolf' name back to Twilight and Gangrel. He says it really started with the movie. Back when he first got into wrestling, he and his uncle Rikishi were doing this NFL, NBA style thing with different teams from different cities. Fatu clarifies that while he was trained by his uncles, including Rikishi, and his father, Gangrel (David Heath) had a lot to do with his training too. He gives a shoutout to Gangrel, calling him a Vampire Warrior who was 'fangin' and bangin' 24/7.' They were on the same team. Since Gangrel was a vampire, it linked to Twilight vampires and werewolves. There was a character named Jacob in Twilight, and Fatu told his wife that the actor's body looked way more better than his own. That comparison is how the Samoan Werewolf moniker came about.
