* DracoInLeatherPants: Fatu was a heel for the entirety of his stint as Umaga, but there were quite a few instances of crowds cheering for him, especially during his return in 2009, because of how much of a badass he was in the ring. It didn't help that, odd unprovoked attack aside, Umaga never really did anything heelish and came across as a DesignatedVillain most of the time.
