NEW MLW SIGNING

Major League Wrestling has signed California star Jacob Fatu, PWInsider.com has learned.

Fatu, the son of former WWE star The Tonga Kid aka Tama of the Islanders, has been wrestling for several years using the "Samoan Werewolf" nickname. I've always been impressed with his work when I've covered shows he's worked.

The plan is for Fatu to get a big push out of the gate as a heel with the company. There have already been comparisons internally between Fatu's work and the late Umaga, which is obviously high praise.

MLW owner Court Bauer first broke into the business learning under the Anoa'i family and has used Samu and Lance Anoa'i in this incarnation of MLW.
