Weird story

One of his cousins is a trainer or something for Utah's football team. When the Utes played at TCU, a bunch of the family came to the game and wound up parking on my buddy's lawn. Some of these cousins were there first, and then told us their cousin Umaga would be coming as well. Huge guy xeekx

That's too bad about him :(

He was also a member of the tag team 3-Minute Warning which became nationally known in 2002 (2003?) for breaking up the "Commitment ceremony" between Billy and Chuck on Smackdown.

I'll go on an unsubstantiated limb and say drugs and steroids. Let me know when I'm wrong.

He failed a drug test twice, refused rehab, and was released.

Wow, he was a nephew of The Wild Samoans. Them and George "The Animal" Steele were by far my favorites. I always liked the batpoop crazy ones back in the day. Not familiar with this particular guy, as I haven't watched wrestling in 20 years or so, but RIP. It doesn't surprise me. The business pumps these guys up on every substance known to man with no real care except for tallying the dollars they pull in.

He got suspended for refusing to take a drug test.
That's why he disappeared all of a sudden off WWE Smackdown a few month's back.
One thing is for sure, since the FED's got involved 13 years ago, Vince McMann has been booting people left and right for failed drug test.
Just like any other company, he can't watch guy's 24/7.

Jeff hardy was booted off about a month ago AGAIN for drugs.........3rd time.
They played it like a loser leaves the WWE for good match between him and STR8 Edge CM PUNK.
He got serious drug problem with pill's and was arrested about 2 months ago for roids and pills.
The last time he got the boot, he was off the WWE roster for 2 years before Vince let him come back and now he done fugged up again.
