Well, growing up watching their father wrestle and make a name must have inspired Jacob and his brother, leading them to decide to continue their dad’s legacy.
After years of training from his uncle, Solofa Fatu Jr., Jacob debuted as a wrestler in 2012, teaming up with his relative. However, his career breakthrough came in 2019 after he signed a contract with Major League Wrestling.
Over the years, Jacob won many wrestling championships, including the House of Glory Heavyweight Championship, the LIT Knuck If Ya Buck Title Tournament, the WWE Tag Team Championship, and the WCPW Heavyweight Championship.
Likewise, Jacob’s younger brother Journey also assisted his father and uncle in wrestling for a longer period, and later, he pursued a career in the field professionally.
Journey, the brother of Jacob Fatu, recently won the UGWA title in California’s Bay area, about which he gushed on Facebook while expressing his gratitude to his supporters. On September 16, 2024, he wrote a Facebook status,
But now Journey has reportedly gone missing. Hopefully, authorities will locate him sooner, or he will soon reach his family.
