The third inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 has been named and he is no other than Rikishi. Best known for his patent stink face moves and dances, Rikishi will join Randy Savage and celebrity-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Rikishi comes from the Anoa'i family dynasty and is the nephew of Afa and Siki, better known as the Wild Samoans. Rikishi has been in the wrestling circle for quite some time, starting out at the age of 20.
Rikishi made his way into the WWE scene in 1992 as part of the Headshrinkers. That tag team was able to cop WWE tag team gold in 1994 before Rikishi went on to compete individually.
He was at one time also known as the Masked Sultan who feuded with Rocky Maivia (The Rock) but has since transformed to Rikishi, a dancing heavyweight best known for using his big behind as one of his patented moves.
Another dimension that Rikishi had was his uncanny agility and talent for dancing to entertain the WWE fans.
During the WWE Attitude era, Rikishi paired with Scotty Too Hotty and Grandmaster Sexay to form the team Too Cool. That team was best known as one of the entertaining group the WWE ever had, a crowd favourite which seemed to be built more for entertaining than actual serious storylines that the WWE had.
Rikishi will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2015 by his own sons, the current WWE Tag Team champions Jimmy and Jey Uso (The Usos). Rikishi becomes the latest from the Anoa'i clan to be included into the Hall of Fame circle. Other relatives who have already been enshrined include the Wild Samoans, Peter Maivia and Yokozuna.
