Wild Samoans
The Wild Samoans was the tag team of Afa & Sika in Mid-South Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) & World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE, then World Wrestling Federation or 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.
