Jacob Fatu is all about giving that "pure, uncut werewolf shit" when he's in the ring.
In recent months, Fatu, a former MLW World Champion, has been showcasing a different side of his persona, which differs from the powerhouse fans came to know throughout his run with Contra.
In an interview with WrestleZone, Fatu commented on how he's showing a new side of himself on MLW programming now.
“You know, man, that’s just me being me. If anybody knows me in the business, they know I’ve always been the same. One thing man, you really try to play that character outside, in real life, it’s really going to get you beat up for real. It’s just being myself, man. That’s it, man. Don’t switch up for nobody because people are gonna love you for who you are," Fatu said.
He continued by noting that he flips a switch when he's on-screen in order to give it his all. When he does, he intends to deliver "pure, uncut werewolf shit" each and every time.
“You see Jacob Fatu off-camera being myself, doing me, but man there’s always a light switch though, right before I walk out there. It’s not just that’s how it’s booked or that’s the gimmick or that’s what we need. No, fuck that. This is 100%, this is what they get, and this is all they gonna get, 110%, especially when I’m walking out there. It’s not just the work, it’s not a gimmick. This is my family, my children, my wife, my legacy, the Samoan Dynasty, everything that I got to hold on my back just to get through and keep that name without riding off of my family members. They gonna get that p+, Jacob Fatu, coming from the gutter, man," he said.
In the interview, Fatu named several of his most memorable matches. More information is available here.
MLW recently announced that Fatu will face Willie Mack at MLW Super Series.
