Man, it's, you know, man, keep it 100, bro.
It's everything I done prayed for.
I mean, like, it really is.
Just being myself, everything happened organically.
You know, something that I've been teaching my kids.
You know, I can't do one thing until my kids another.
You know, with me having seven kids, man,
you know, shout out to my kids, man,
that keep me motivating and pushing.
Man, bro, this just goes back to,
my journey was different, you know?
It took me 12 years to get here, and that's okay.
A lot of people say,
Jacob, you should have been there five years ago.
Nah, bro, Jacob would have been fired five years ago.
I mean I needed to learn, I needed this, you know,
to regroup but man it's been good and once again,
it's none but all family at the end of the day.
You know, you're not real family man
if you don't fight with your family.
So me and Solo, it's something special.
I mean come on, this is SummerSlam.
We got Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, Survivor Series. SummerSlam, man, this is such a big
PLE. Not only that, to be a part of the two-day PLE, man, it's just, it's a
blessing. And, man, I just can't wait, man. I can't wait to just walk out that
thing. I'm real nervous, though. You know what I mean? I'm keeping one
hundred. Real nervous. Very emotional, though, at the end of the day, but man is family orientated man
So uh shout out to WWE might for taking a chance on a real one, man
And this man off dividends listen if you can't pull up this weekend by Tommy see it's already happening
No, it's happening on peacock though, you know the Bob's live stream with WWE
But that's you know, it's interesting that you say that you know
I'm saying everybody has off their family issues a little bit differently. That just happened to do this with a lot of people
in the crowd.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then not only that, we're not going to jail for it.
So I thought, yeah, sure, sure.
We're doing things the right way, in a legal way.
That's fine, yeah.
That's fine.
After that, though, right?
We talk about your family.
Let's talk about the lineage, man.
Y'all, you got cousins, uncles,
everything that's been running, wrestling for years.
What's that feeling like?
Man, at the end of the day,
the feeling with my family,
besides the entertainment side,
man, as soon as we walk in the door,
we drop everything out the door.
So just to see them be themselves, you know, on another
and besides the entertainment side, you know, just to see them as uncle or bruh, you know,
like when they see me, I'm, I'm, everybody knows me as Jacob Fatu, you know, but my family,
bruh, you know, they know me as Jake, you know, I'm Jake or Ous or Yvim Yacopo, you
know what I mean? That's what they call me in Samoan, you know, I cope on me and Jake, you know, so,
it's real cool at the end of the day,
especially when we are together,
cause I be tripping out too, like, damn,
bro, that's T-shirt, you know what I mean?
Like, you know, but man, I'm like,
I didn't grow up wanting to wrestle, you know what I mean?
But to be a part of it now,
and to see how we're doing things now,
to see how I develop now. Like I said, this
man, this shit wasn't forced. It was happening organically. But man, I'm so proud to be a part
of it. I really am, bro. And you know, first time when I did get beat by my family, you know, now
first SummerSlam, well, second SummerSlam solo main event last year against Cody, which was awesome.
You know what I mean? Man, my brother took that on his back and did his thing. But now instead of me helping him this year now
About to kick his ass
But man, it feels good though man's well Roman and the best tag team in the world the Usos
Big Jim man, mr. Yee man. So man, I very happy, man. Very blessed to be a part of this.
And, you know, I'll be trippin' out.

You know what I mean?
Like, even when I see Hunter, I'll be trippin' out.
I'm like, man, what's goin' on with HG?
I mean, you know what I mean?
That's my pause, but man, I'm lovin' it, bro.
I really am lovin' it, man.
What about the next generation in the family?
Like, y'all bring them to step into it or?
Yeah, well, you know, Jay, Jay speaks about this, you know, my nephew, Jace, you know,
he got a couple more years. He asked his dad the other day or, you know, he asked his dad, you know,
I know Jace don't want to get into it. You know, he want to be a tag team like how Diamond Ray
Mysterio would. So, you know, that's pretty dope, man. Shout out to my nephew, man.
But my girls, man, my girls is definitely locked in with it.
It's crazy, because I was on the Independence.
I mean, you all know the Independence.
I was on there for a while, bro.
My kids never used to watch me until I got to WWDC.
I'm like, what the hell?
My wife, man, how the kids do it?
She's like, oh, man, they was watching you.
I'm like, and what about when dad was
wrestling with no shoes on? But you know, bro, it's kids do it? She's like, oh man, they was watching you. You know what I mean? I'm like, and what about when dad was wrestling with no shoes on?
You know what I mean?
But you know, bruh, it's the grind.
It's the struggle.
And they asked me, I don't know if y'all see
my independent stuff, but I wrestled with no shoes
for 12 years.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, bruh.
Hey, hey, bruh.
Did you get some juice?
I did.
I did.
I did.
Hey, bruh.
Bruh, I was Uso Fletch on back then.
Y'all been doobadoo.
Okay, hold on, bro.
That might be Scooby Doo.
Damn wrong.
Yeah, but man, bro, just to tell you back then.
And it was funny, bro.
They asked, they told me.
They said, hey, man, you know, you need to wear boots.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I'm comfortable with no shoes.
I'll never forget, bro.
I called Paul forget bro. I
Call Paul Heyman. I said mr. Heyman. I
Think I want to wrestle with no shoes. Man. He done hit me with the
Alright, man. Listen, man. It's either
We can make money wearing those shoes or we can make a lot of fucking money wearing shoes I mean, I was like miss I don't even know why I called you
make a lot of fucking money wearing shoes. And I was like, man, sir, I don't even know
why I called you an ass-ass.
Let me hang up real quick.
Yeah, running out there barefoot is crazy.
Man, bro, so to go back on that, they said,
hey, bro, I can, man, let's be 100, bro.
You don't get paid that much on the independence.
I mean, I had a household, my kids take care of me.
They said, Jake, why you never wore shoes?
I was like, bro, I couldn't afford it.
I really couldn't, but thank God, you know,
it kind of fit me because, you know,
the small swat team and the ass shrinkers,
rest in peace to the small bulldozer
made my Uncle Eki, Eddie Fatu, you know what I mean?
The Afon Sika, the wild Samoans, you know,
so it was a part of the lineage,
but, man, I'm not gonna lie, bro,
I was so happy and I didn't understand
why I never did wear boots
until I started wearing it.
I mean, because there's no way I could see me
walking out there now with those shoes on.
That was your first shoe of boot, not a tennis shoe.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, no, it was actually flip-flops.
Yeah.
And you're still wearing flip-flops?
Yeah, you know, I learned to.
I did a run in in flip-flops one time, bro.
Yeah, we ran in.
Bro, it was at a flea market.
And I swear, bro, you know, this is when I first get home.
I mean, yeah, I'm trying to get it in and get it out.
One thing, if y'all coming up in the game, and I got to say this, bro, if y'all coming
up, don't do it for the money.
Don't think you're just going to wrestle for a year or two, getting older.
I mean, social media is very powerful now.
But man bruh, if y'all don't have passion for this,
if y'all don't love this, I mean if y'all can't take
criticism or none of that, bruh,
stay out the way with it, alright?
This is gonna happen overnight.
Like I said, it took me 12 years to get here,
going on 13 and boy, I'm still learning around this thing.
You know what I mean?
For sure.
And the dope part about you said the family aspect
is all y'all taking it to the next level,
so all y'all kids gonna be able to take it to the next level
if they choose to.
See, you're elevating the family more and more
by the, you know what I'm saying, by the hard work.
Absolutely, man.
And it's also, and I tell my kids this all the time,
man, I just, I found what I was good at, you know?
I really did.
Thank God I had the genes to actually do it,
because not all our family members
have the genes to come wrestle.
So instead of drop kicking up here,
they drop kicking us in our shins down here.
So it's just a little different, bruh.
But man, when I found out I was good at it, man,
I just stuck with it.
Not only that, bruh, it kept me out of jail, bruh.
When I was 18, I went to jail.
I couldn't take a shit looking at 12 other guys
on the toilet, the toilet facing, man, I wanted to play.
Shout out to my wife, bro, real one, bro,
because, bro, when I was locked down,
if you don't got nobody when you go to jail,
man, bro, you ain't getting no commissary,
no money on the books, no letters, you ain't, you know what I mean?
So, you know, feel good to come up with somebody,
you know, who actually came up with me, you know what I mean?
So, yeah, shout good to come up with somebody, you know, who actually came up with me Yeah, you know I mean, so yeah shout out to you. Hello

Grand Slam champion, Naomi Osaka.
What I was dealing with at the time, feeling ashamed, going against everything an athlete
stood for.
After I
pulled out of the French Open I flew.
Pranked as number one in the world in women's singles.
A four-time Grand Slam tennis champ, Naomi Osaka.
We would be constantly on the tennis court and I would watch other kids go to summer
vacation and I would always think, dang, like, I kind of want to be someone else.
What was the feeling like when you won
your first Grand Slam at the US Open?
When I was growing up, I had dreams of playing Serena
in my first Grand Slam final.
It felt like a dream came true.
I was just reading comments of people saying
that I didn't deserve to win.

We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved.
San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team.
We need veteran players and we need young players.
Like, you're building a team from scratch,
and so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined.
We need to embrace this community.
When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier,
and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain,
just watching the fans jumping up and down.
I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me.
Not only was that going to be my game,
but it was going to be my life.

Thank God for FaceTime.
I don't know how my father and them did it back then.
With no FaceTime, FaceTime makes it easy though

Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So, man, Jimmy called it the other day.
Man, feel good to, you know, for the world to chant fatu, you know?
And I didn't do that, like I said, it just happened organically.
The crazy thing was, it started in San Antonio

Man, say it again.
Was that the craziest place you ever like,
you know what I mean, Tyler?

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no But it was out here, bro. It was in New Jersey and it was just, you know,
bro, I'll show y'all after this,
but man, we just came out of a,
it was like a, at a park, a bar,
and it was, you know, the little things where people
are at the park, they got the tables, got the grill.
It's the canopy over there.
Yeah, yeah.
Bro, that was our dressing room, bruh.
And walked out of the dressing room, right to the ring,
and you know, man, it ain't really wrestling fans,
you know what I mean?
But you gotta go out there.
I learned to go out there,
whether it's five people or 500,000 people,
man, you go do it, you know, you go give all you got.
During the pandemic, I think it really helped me
because, man, we were wrestling shows,
but we had to wrestle because I needed to get paid,
you know what I mean? But we would do it with no fans.
And I was actually having fun, but that's when I knew, like,
okay, I think I got something here, you know what I mean?
Because I was really out there acting like there was people,
there was nobody there but us during the pandemic.
But, man, that really helped me regroup
on my character type thing. So...
OK.
Yeah, man, we doubling back, though.
But other than that, bro, man, we doubling back though.
But other than that, bro,
definitely just the bar out here.
Yeah, definitely the bar out here in New Jersey,
the swat meet.
And man, this is, bro, we wrestle.
If you come from the independence,
man, you're gonna have to go through that.
You're gonna have to go through that shit.
Bro, I don't wrestle for $20.
Bro, I used to go back and forth arguing with people
over $60, you know what I mean? But sometimes I don't wrestle for $20, bro. I used to go back and forth arguing with people over $60.
You know what I mean?
But sometimes I had to do it for free, you know?
Cause then again, that's where the passion come from.
You gotta do it for free.
And when they, I don't care what y'all say out there,
like, okay, you wrestle for a hot dog and a handshake.
Okay, yeah, so what?
Now look, yeah.
Now look where we at.
You know, you gotta make those sacrifices.
You know what I mean?
You gotta, and at the end of the day,
I'm gonna do what I gotta do, you know, take care of my kids. Oh here, bro. I was working at Walmart
