Jacob Fatu: I Was On The Independents, My Kids Never Used To Watch Me, My Kids Ain’t Start Watching Me Till I Got On TV

Jacob Fatu talks about his kids possibly getting into the wrestling industry.

Multi generation professional wrestlers are common throughout the sport, especially amongst the Anoa’i family. Jacob fits that mould and made his WWE debut last year, quickly becoming one of the most over superstars in the company.

While speaking to The Breakfast Club in a new interview, Jacob Fatu was asked about if he would be ok with any of his seven kids becoming pro wrestling.

“Man, I will say this. I will say no because I know how the life is on the road and know the ups, downs, you know, because it ain’t easy, you know? But since it kept me out the way to be a father to them and if they love it and if they have passion, which my girls do, my boys is… they do their own thing, but my girls… yeah, definitely, and there wouldn’t be no other way. Man, they’re so into it right now. I mean, mind you, I was on the independents. They never used to watch me. Man, my kids ain’t start watching me till I got on TV. I mean, it usually work like that, you know what I mean? But yeah, man, definitely my girls though, man. I know a lot of people don’t want their kids to wrestle, but like I said, man, it’s a whole nother’ time right now.”

Fatu is currently scheduled to challenge Solo Sikoa for the United States Title in a Steel Cage match during SummerSlam weekend. You can read more about that here.
