| 5 | !! The Wild Samoans are the TropeNamers for: |
| 6 | * WildSamoan |
| 7 | |
| 8 | !! "Wild Samoan Tropes": |
| 9 | * ActionSurvivor: Afa became the manager of Wrestling/TheHeadshrinkers. |
| 10 | * {{Afro Asskicker}}s: They were tough guys with huge hair. |
| 11 | * CoolTeacher: Well, who do you think started the Wild Samoan training center? Along with their various family members, their students have included Wrestling/BillyKidman, Wrestling/{{Kanyon}}, Wrestling/BamBamBigelow, Wrestling/PaulHeyman, Wrestling/SherriMartel, Wrestling/{{Virgil}}, Wrestling/{{Batista}}, and '''MANY''' more. |
| 12 | * CordonBleughChef: An episode of ''Tuesday Night Titans'' has them prepare "Oola Kala", with ingredients like raw fish fin, some unidentified sauce, celery and a lobster '''who is still clearly moving'''. Lord Alfred Hayes is understandably disgusted. |
| 13 | * FinishingMove: The Samoan Drop (Fallaway Slam with opponent in fireman's carry), which they innovated. |
| 14 | * HardHead: The pioneers of this gimmick. |
| 15 | * {{Heel}}: The prototype of the Polynesian heel. |
| 16 | * PowerStable: They were among the '''MANY''' wrestlers in Wrestling/GeneralSkandorAkbar's Devastation Inc. in Mid-South. |
| 17 | * SoProudOfYou: Sika is very proud of his son {{Wrestling/Roman Reigns}}, and was visibly overjoyed when Roman was crowned The Tribal Chief. |
| 18 | * TheVoiceless: Their managers had to do all the talking for them since they weren't supposed to be able to speak English. Their dedication to this gimmick got them and Wrestling/HulkHogan in a little trouble in real life as they were all pulled over by the police while riding together and Afa and Sika refused to break kayfabe by explaining the situation to the officer, leading to them and Hogan spending a night in the cells. |
