The Wrestling Prodigy Discusses Growing Up with Roman Reigns, The Usos, and the Potential of Joining The Bloodline Storyline
In a recent candid conversation with Steve Fall on WrestlingNewsCo’s “10 Count”, Afa Anoa’i Jr., popularly known in the wrestling world as Manu, delved deep into his experiences growing up in one of the most prestigious wrestling families. The Anoa’i family, with its rich wrestling lineage, has given the world several wrestling legends, and Manu’s insights provide a unique perspective into this legacy.
Growing Up Anoa’i:
Being part of the Anoa’i family meant that wrestling was not just a profession but a way of life. Manu humorously recalls how, as a child, it felt like you were handed your wrestling gear the moment you were born. The household was always bustling with wrestling activities, from rings set up in the backyard to wrestling legends like Luna Vashon and Gangrel casually residing in their basement. Friends were always curious about which wrestling superstar might be visiting next, making his childhood anything but ordinary.
Babysat by ‘The Rock’:
In a revelation that left many in awe, Manu shared that during his younger days, he was occasionally babysat by none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. While The Rock was still in high school and hadn’t yet become the global icon he is today, it’s fascinating to imagine a young Rock taking on babysitting duties.
The Battlefield Pro Wrestling Event:
Manu expressed his excitement for the upcoming Battlefield Pro Wrestling event, which celebrates his 25 years in the business and features marquee matches that fans eagerly anticipate. The event promises to be a grand spectacle, and Manu’s involvement makes it all the more special.
The Bloodline Storyline:
One of the intriguing topics discussed was the potential of Manu joining The Bloodline storyline, which involves Roman Reigns and The Usos. While nothing is confirmed, the mere possibility has fans buzzing with excitement.
Manu’s journey, from growing up amidst wrestling legends to carving a niche for himself in the industry, is truly inspiring. His passion for the sport and the rich legacy of the Anoa’i family make him a force to reckon with in the wrestling world. As fans, we can only wait with bated breath to see what the future holds for this wrestling prodigy.
