Umaga was that dude foreal. Very dope wrestler and its sad to hear of him passing as such a young age. First time I think I saw him wrestle was with the "3 Minutes" tag team (Jamal and Rosie). And he was even more dope when they repacked him as Umaga. His feuds were classic even though he never talked on the mic and his paring with William Regal was amazing(Youmanga). And even though he was kicked out the WWE, I was glad to hear he was eventually making a comeback this year. But now that he obviously won't I'm a little sad about it. That's apart of the business sadly wrestlers are prone to living short lives due to traveling and working 365 no time off. The gift and the ultimate curse. But I'm about to go check out some of his videos and wish his family luck and hope we don't loose anymore talented wrestlers this year. In his honor I'm gonna tape up my thumb and Samoan Spike the next fool I see. R.I.P. Test also. 
A few days prior to December 4, 2009, returning home to Spring, Texas, Fatu had just completed a wrestling tour with Hulk Hogan in Australia.
On December 4, 2009, Fatu was hospitalized after his wife found him not breathing with blood coming out of his nose a few hours after he had fallen asleep the night before while watching television. He was rushed to a local hospital in Houston, Texas and was admitted into the Intensive Care Unit.[53] It was reported that Fatu had suffered a heart attack.
Fatu was pronounced dead around 6:00 PM EST after suffering a second heart attack.

Saw this MTO and my eyes got wide as hell... sad to hear for real... I always thought 3-Minute Warning was a dope concept (and a 400 lb dude doing a top rope splash? Ridic...) RIP
