Full Version: Umaga
I find it a little confusing why Umaga is hated so much here because I've seen a lot of people put him down on here already, so I'm wondering why you guys think he's such a bad wrestler.
Hi Bubba here, ...
I think it might be the lack of moves he has. But, of course he a big guy though.

See I don't know about that. When compared with guys like Snitsky and Khali, he does have a good moveset.
Samoan Spike. Wild Samoan Splash. Samoan Drop. Wild Samoan Drop. Samoan Wrecking Ball. Suicide Dive. Swinging Side Slam. And then a lot of other more basic moves.
The Samoan Spike is probably the gayest finishing move currently in the WWE.
Makes no sense. There's nothing about the move that seems 'power finisher'. The FU accomplishes this better, and I think the FU is lame.
Umaga isn't as bad as guys like Khali, Snitsky, Mark Henry, Big Vis, or even Big Show. Umaga can move a little better around the ring, but Umaga at times because of his size has low stamina that almost immediately within 3 minutes of the match, he starts moving like Yokozuna around the ring.

I can agree on the finisher, because it does appear any punch he delivers could easily be a Samoan Spike.
But with the whole stamina thing, I'm not too sure about that. I think a lot of it has to do with his character. He's that big powerful impact guy and everytime he performs a move, the guy is suppose to be down, forcing him to slow down his own pace in order for his moves to appear as though they did a lot of damage.
And on the topic of character, how great is he at playing it. He's got the look for it, he's got the "mic" skills (screaming in Samoan), and he's drawing the heat from fans.
I prefer Umaga over Kahli,Snitsky but I really just don't care for him. Although for an okay moveset he has a weak finisher I agree.

Good points. But in my eyes, the whole thing is just a revival of the Wild Samoans with one of their younger relatives.
His finisher sucks but i dont mind him that much. He's not great, he's not terrible.
The worst finisher in the company.

There are some other bad ones. Khali's chop to the head. The Pooooouuuunnnnnnccccceeeee. And the now departed Worm.
khali's is the worst.

I meant his head butts that he used to like to do. I don't know if they do it now.

Yeah Snitsky's kick is boring!

Yeah. Snitsky's big boot would be fine, if it was a move in his set. Taker & Kane do that move all the time as just a regular move.
No way a big boot should be a FINISHER!

Well JBL uses a clothesline. Though I guess it was born in hell.

yeah it was still lame.
JBL's finisher has always been lame too.
As much as I love him, so was Dusty and his 'bionic elbow'.
