So, the other day I was digging into this wrestler guy, Roman Reigns, you know, the big dude from WWE? And I stumbled upon something that kinda hit me in the feels – he lost his older brother, Rosey, whose real name was Matthew Anoa’i. Man, 47 years old, that’s way too young.
I started looking into Rosey’s story. Turns out, he was a wrestler too, going by the name Rosey in the ring. He wrestled in different places, not just WWE. And get this, their dad, Sika, was also a big shot in wrestling, like, a WWE Hall of Famer. It’s a whole family thing, this wrestling business.
Rosey’s Journey
- The Beginning: I guess wrestling was in their blood. Rosey, like his brother Roman, also played football before stepping into the ring.
- The Grind: He wrestled under different names on the independent circuit before making it to WWE. That’s where he took on the name Rosey.
- WWE Days: He was in WWE for a while, and I found some clips of him wrestling. Not as famous as Roman, but still, a solid wrestler in his own right.
- Family Ties: The fact that he was Roman Reigns’ brother was always a big part of his story, at least in the stuff I read online.
Then, I saw this interview where someone mentioned that Rosey was actually the one who started the whole “Tribal Chief” thing. You know, that’s what Roman Reigns calls himself now? Apparently, Rosey was the original “Tribal Chief” in their family, not Roman. I was really surprised when I found that. Kind of puts a different spin on things, right?
It’s wild how you can start looking into one thing and end up down a whole different rabbit hole. I just wanted to know a little bit more about Roman Reigns, and I ended up learning all this stuff about his brother, Rosey. It’s kind of sad, to be honest. But it also made me appreciate the whole family’s connection to wrestling a lot more. It’s not just a job for them; it’s like, their legacy.
Anyway, I just thought I’d share this little journey I went on. It’s a reminder that there’s always more to the story than what you see on the surface. Rest in peace, Rosey.
