00:00Ladies and gentlemen, if it weren't for the next two superstars in our showcase, none of this would be possible.
00:08Because without Afa and Sika, without the wild Samoans, there truly is no dynasty.
00:20While it was their father who made the blood oath with High Chief Peter Maivia,
00:28it was Afa and Sika who built the family up, training generations of relatives,
00:38all with the single goal of becoming the best professional wrestler on the face of the planet.
00:48And while the two would together be WWE Hall of Famers, based solely on their work as trainers and cultivators of the next generation,
01:02their in-ring successes only add to their immortality.
01:09Afa and Sika formed WWE's most dominant tag team of the early 1980s,
01:23fighting their way to the WWE Tag Team Championship on three separate occasions.
01:32Opponents were often defeated before the bell even rang to start the match,
01:38falling victim to the aura and the intimidation factor of having to step into the ring with the wild Samoans.
01:49Accompanied by Captain Lou Albano, the trio formed a masterful group that was able to take all opponents off their game,
02:02be it through Albano's devious schemes or the overpowering nature of the wild Samoans.
02:11WWE had never dealt with a team so primal, turning each match into a battle of survival.
02:22Most feared? The deadly Samoan drop.
02:26A move that has been imitated by many, but duplicated only by a chosen few.
02:34There they are, the wild Samoans.
02:37These are immigrants coming from the island, trying to figure it out, trying to find a way.
02:42I couldn't imagine being these men.
02:45I couldn't imagine taking on these responsibilities of setting the tone in a whole new country
02:53and then trying to break into entertainment on top of that.
02:57But they made it work, and that's what we are.
03:00We're workers. We make it work.
03:04These tribal elders set the standard for all of their descendants to not only follow,
03:10but they also taught their descendants how to surpass it.
03:16So beloved were the two that perhaps no moment holds more significance to your tribal chief,
03:24Roman Reigns, than when he was presented the Ula Fala by his father Sika and uncle Afa
03:34after the 2020 Hell in a Cell event.
03:40You see, it was their acknowledgement that gave Roman Reigns the unshakable confidence
03:50to continue his journey to becoming the greatest of all time.
03:57The utmost respect, love and gratitude for those men.
04:03Because if my father and uncle don't do what they do, we're not here.
04:09We now humbly present to you the honor of walking in the famed footsteps of the Wild Samoans.
04:18Finding a tag team in WWE's long and storied history that we felt would test the Wild Samoans
04:28was not an easy task, but then a thought came to your wise man.
04:35Why not give the audience exactly what they want?
04:40Why not put the Wild Samoans against one of the greatest tag teams of all time?
04:48Why not present Afa, Sika, the Wild Samoans versus Bubba Ray and D-Von, the Dudley Boys?
05:02And if we're going to go that far, let's do it in a tables match.
05:09Showcase that savage brutality that made both teams the eternal legends we know them to be.
05:18No pinfalls, no submissions, no rules.
05:23Just be the team that avoids being put through the table and you will emerge victorious.
05:31And with these four men, you better believe that things are going to get...
05:39extreme.
06:10The following is a tag team tables match.
06:16And at a combined weight of 603 pounds, Bubba Ray and D-Von, the Dudley Boys!
06:28It takes a strong brotherly bond to agree to go into battle against the Wild Samoans,
06:33but that's exactly what Bubba Ray and D-Von have.
06:37I have a strong feeling this match isn't going to be for the faint of heart.
06:40Oh look, the Dudley Boys may not be all there in the head,
06:44but they're easily the most highly decorated tag team in pro wrestling history.
06:53Guys, this is going to be a great one. You can feel the electricity already.
06:57I feel the excitement and some fear too.
07:00Accompanied by Captain Lou Albano.
07:03At a combined weight of 645 pounds, Sika and Appa, the Wild Samoans!
07:13This tables match might be a dream match for many,
07:16but for both the Wild Samoans and the Dudley Boys,
07:19this is about to be one team's greatest nightmare.
07:22Appa and Sika clearly not looking to back down here.
07:31The Dudleys can certainly handle their own,
07:33but they've never faced anyone or anything like the Wild Samoans.
07:45Those mean looks on both Appa...
07:52...and Sika.
07:53Those mean looks on both Appa...
