– During a recent edition of The Snake Pit, WWE Hall of Famer Jake Roberts shared some stories about the legendary toughness of The Wild Samoans (Afa and Sika). Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Jake Roberts on someone once starting a fight with Sika at a hotel: All the wrestlers were staying at a hotel in Baton Rouge and they were all out getting sun. Sika was laying down out there. Just having a nice afternoon in the sun, drinking a few beers, and not bothering nobody. Then some drunk comes out of the pool and starts talking s***. Sika reached up and backhanded the guy. When he did, blood went everywhere. The guy’s face was just opened up. [Then,] the guy took off running and Sika is chasing him on asphalt and glass. [He was] running down the side of the highway [and] screaming at the guy. ”

On Afa headbutting him after accidentally kneeing him in the face during a match: “I’ll tell you, one thing is for sure. I didn’t do it again.”
