Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s One on One, WWE Legend Harvey Wippleman spoke about how he had helped the budding Samoan during his early days in the Stamford-based promotion.
“Fast forward to when he was 25, it’s when he broke into the wrestling business. That’s when Rocky [Johnson] called me again and said, ‘Guess what? My son’s breaking into the business and he’s starting out there in Memphis. He doesn’t have any money and no place to stay.’ And I said, ‘He does have a place to stay,'” said Harvey Wippleman.
He went on to state that the former world champion stayed at his place until he got himself his own place.
“He stayed with me again when he first broke into the business… And he came down and stayed with me until he got some checks under his belt. I helped him find a place to stay. He wanted his privacy, you know. But he stayed with me for several months until he got his own place,” said Harvey Wippleman. (H/T – Sportskeeda)
