Zilla Fatu is learning from some of the best.
Fatu has made a name for himself in recent months competing on the independent scene, primarily in GCW. Many fans expect that Fatu will eventually make his way to WWE to join The Bloodline alongside Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa.
While speaking to Joey Franchise for a new interview, Fatu talked about some of the people that he's learning from as he progresses throughout his career.
"I wanna say Shelton Benjamin. Shout-out to Shelton. We call him Black Uce in our family. That’s the Black Uce. But Shelton, he’s been giving me a lot of game as far as the psychology part of wrestling because anybody can go out there and do a Rock Bottom on somebody, but it’s about how you get into it, how you tell that story. With Shelton, he’s more [about] like everything has to make sense, every movement has to count. So I’m just thankful for him. Carlito, Carlito’s one of the main mentors that I tap in with every day. Dom, you feel me, even though that’s my brother, he’s really a mentor, too. That’s Rey Mysterio’s son. Who else? Charlie Haas, Shelton and Dominik, those are the main guys that I tap in. Obviously man, The Bloodline, obviously my cousins, that’s understood. They always gonna tap in."
