While I respect people as wrestlers in a respective promotion, such as someone so talented like Umaga, I do not respect drug habits.

Various reports have stated that Fatu suffered a massive heart attack in his sleep, although those reports remain unconfirmed at this time. The WWE posted a short blurb about Fatu's passing which can be found here All of us here at WNW would like to extend our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Eddie. Yet another wrestler has been taken away far too young. This sucks, so sad to hear RIP Eddie

I didn't believe it until just now when I came home and checked it on WWE.com. I am both shocked and saddened at this news. It's a shame that it all ended this way. A real shame.

Too bad his career was cut short this summer...I was looking forward to his proposed feud with Taker that never materialized. At least he's in good company now with Eddie G in Wrestling Heaven...Rest In Peace Mr. Samoan Bulldozer!!!
