Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through my experience messing around with Jacob Fatu and his cousins. Heard a lot about them, seen some videos, and figured I’d try to piece together their connections and wrestling careers. It was a bit of a deep dive, let me tell you!

First thing I did was hit up the usual suspects – Google, Wikipedia, wrestling databases. Started with Jacob Fatu himself. Found some info about his early days, training, and his various appearances. He’s definitely got that Samoan wrestling blood in him, you know? The size, the power… it’s all there.
Then, I started tracing the family tree. This is where it got a little tricky. The Anoa’i family (that’s the main wrestling lineage they come from) is HUGE. You got The Rock, Roman Reigns, The Usos…it’s like a wrestling dynasty. So, figuring out exactly how Jacob Fatu and his cousins fit into all of that took some digging.
I kept bumping into names like Rikishi, Umaga (RIP), and tons of others. It’s a real tangled web of kayfabe (wrestling storylines) and real-life family connections. I had to constantly double-check my sources to make sure I wasn’t getting worked, haha!
The Usos, Jimmy and Jey, kept popping up.Turns out, they’re pretty closely related, and they’ve obviously had a ton of success in WWE. Seeing how they’ve paved the way definitely adds some pressure, but also opportunity, for the younger generation like Jacob.
Next up was trying to figure out who exactly constitutes “cousins.” In Samoan culture, the term “cousin” can extend pretty far, including people who might be considered more distant relatives in other cultures. So, I broadened my search and started looking for anyone linked to the Anoa’i family who’s actively wrestling or involved in the business.
I spent a good chunk of time watching old matches and interviews. It wasn’t just about gathering facts, but also about getting a feel for their wrestling style, their personalities, and how they present themselves. You can tell they all have that natural charisma that runs in the family.
- Checked out some indie promotions.
- Watched some old WWE clips.
- Read a few wrestling blogs and forums.
After hours of research, I think I’ve got a decent understanding of the Jacob Fatu and his cousins situation. It’s a family with a rich wrestling history, a ton of talent, and a lot of potential for the future. Whether Jacob and his cousins can live up to the legacy of The Rock or Roman Reigns remains to be seen, but they definitely have the foundation to build something great.
It was a fun little project, and it reminded me just how deep and fascinating the world of professional wrestling can be. Plus, it’s always cool to learn more about the stories behind the wrestlers we see on TV. So yeah, that’s my deep dive into Jacob Fatu and his cousins. Hope you found it interesting!
