Solofa Fatu Jr. (born October 11, 1965) is a Samoan-American professional wrestler, best known under the ring name Rikishi. He is known by his work at the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment. Fatu is a member of the extensive Samoan Anoa'i wrestling family, and the nephew of the Wild Samoans, Afa and Sika, who trained him in the 1980s. He is the brother of Eddie Fatu, better known as Umaga, and is the younger brother of The Tonga Kid, who was part of The Islanders, a tag team with Haku in the WWF. Fatu teamed with his cousin Samu, the son of Afa, as The Samoan Swat Team. The Swat Team wrestled mainly in the south, winning titles in the Dallas-based World Class Wrestling Association.
