Wild Samoans was the tag team of Afa & Sika in Mid-South Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In interviews the duo would rarely speak, only grunting in a primitive dialect that only manager Capt. Lou Albano could understand. Completing their wildman image, the duo engaged in outrageous behaviour such as nose picking, and eating raw fish in interviews. On the March 23, 2007 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown!, it was announced that the Wild Samoans will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the Class of 2007.
