One of the funnier topic titles I've come across on here.

I don't even necessarily agree with the OP but it still made me laugh. :lol

 

thank you , could not say it better, still laughing

 

don't forget about Lance Anoa'i he is only 22 and is the son of Samula Anoa'i of The Headshrinkers/Samoan SWAT Team he has been wrestling since 2010

 

I think he'll be signed eventually. He's still really young but I see them wanting him down the line. He was recently one of the jobbers ascension squashed too.

Rock female cousin down in NXT is actually blood related. Idk how far she'll get, I haven't seen her work.

All the Samoans wwe have used have been very talented in my opinion, so I don't know what the fear is about.

 

op will be happy to know that there are two more rock cousins on wwes radar

there is Lina Fanene who is currrently under contract with wwe

and your next rock cousin who just had a tryout 2 weeks ago

 

A not so pretty Diva and a goofy looking femboy, how wonderful.

 

Here's the thing: Rock is half black and has black relatives but he's only concerned about not having to see Samoans. Das racist.

 

Wasnt yokozuna a Anoa'i

 

Lmao, KENTA going from maineventing Tokyo Dome with Kobashi to taking selfies with random WWF jobbers.

 

The Rock is not blood related to them, it's just an old family friendship that goes back generations.

 

Dominic Toretto. "I don't have friends I have family"

 

Kofi Kingston

 

The Uso's and the Rock have to be related. They resemble the Rock in the face.

 

Agreed. They all look alike especially in the face

 

I hope he doesn't.

 

Big fan of the old generation of Samoan wrestlers, right bad asses but the new gen are pussi*s. :lol

 

Yeah, it was just some stupid "blood brothers" bullshit.

 

technically, all Somaons are related to each other.

 

The funny thing is, the Rock isn't even really related to anyone thats Samoan

* Haku/Meng has been said to be a "blood brother" to the family, even being dubbed an uncle/cousin of sorts. His sons Camacho and Tama Tonga have been revered as cousins by The Rock.
* Samoa Joe has said that he is a distant relative to the family.
* Neff Maiavia also has an adopted son who became a wrestler by the name of Tui The Samoan. Neff was the cousin to High Chief Peter Maivia, The Rock is Neff's nephew. Samoan wrestlers Farmer Boy Ipo and Leroy Brown (Leroy Tuifao) are Tui's uncles.

* Former WWF wrestler, Siva Afi, is the cousin to Peter Maivia Sr., The Rock is Siva's nephew. Siva's son Aleki Afi is also a wrestler.

Journey Fatu (son of Tama) also plays college football.

 

Every black guy who will ever wrestle, brother.

 

I'm with ya. lol best thread i've seen in awhile. so true.

 

Hows it brah! Well word around town is...if you have or get a Polynesian tattoo then you're automatically family.

 

Rock is canadian too, mother canucker

 

If we're not to include "blood relatives" such as the Anoa'i family, then The Rock's wrestling family would just be High Chief Peter Maivia, Rocky Johnson, Lia Fanene and Rock's uncles Ricky Jackson, Peter Jr & Toa Maivia.. As well as Rocky's other son Curtis, whom is training to be a wrestler. Rock's grandmother Lia Maivia was also a wrestling promoter.

 

True.

The Peter Maivia- Anoa'i Senior relationship has obvious relevance in the culture to which they belong. However, with respect to bloodlines, they are probably only "related" as much as the Dudley Boyz.

Let me get this straight:

We know that Rock and Rikishi are cousins
We know that Rock and Roman are cousins

Usos are Rikishi's sons
Then how in the blue hell are Rock and Usos or Roman and Usos cousins?
Usos should be Rock and Roman's nephews

 

Technically "second cousins" due to Rikishi and Roman being cousins, thus making Usos, Roman's second cousins.

 

Is The Rock even close to all his family members?

 

Haha i found that pretty funny.

It's werd to think the The Rock and Reigns are related.

The Rock is the GOAT in my eyes and i cannot stand Roman Reigns. It's like Bray and Bo Dallas. I cannot believe they are related. They are complete polar opposites in the sense that one is talented and the other is not.

 

The way the Anoa'i/Maivia/Samoan family is all connected:

Blood brother can refer to one of two things: a male related by birth, or two or more men not related by birth who have sworn loyalty to each other. This is in modern times usually done in a ceremony, known as a blood oath, where having each person make a small cut, usually on a finger, hand or the forearm, and then the two cuts are pressed together and bound, the idea being that each person's blood now flows in the other participant's veins. In modern times, some gangs have also been rumored to make blood pacts. The process usually provides a participant with a heightened symbolic sense of attachment with another participant.

So though, the Anoa'i/Maivia family isn't related by blood, they are by joining there families together when Afa and Sika's dad and Peter Maivia formed an alliance of sorts.

As for The Uso's (Jimmy and Jey)
Father: Rikishi
Brother: Tamiko Fatu
Jimmy's Wife: Naomi
Uncles: Tama The Tonga Kid and Umaga
Cousin: Jacob Fatu (son of Tama)
Second Cousins: Samu, LA Smooth, Manu, Vale, Rosey, Roman Reigns, Yokozuna, Black Pearl, The Rock, Gary Albright (who was married to Afa's daughter Monica; I may have forgotten him)
Third Cousins: Lance Anoa'i (son of Samu), Justin Anoa'i (son of Yokozuna)
Grand-Uncles: Wild Samoans Afa and Sika
