As you can very clearly see, the Wild Samoan Training Center is indeed the premier Pro Wrestling Training School for anyone who truly wants the best in preparation for a career in Pro Wrestling. But, if you still are unsure of whether or not it is the best training center in the world, why not listen to what multi-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker, WWE/WCW Superstar Billy Kidman, or former WWE/WCW World Heavyweight Champion Bret Hart have had to say about us!

The Undertaker

"One quick message to all of my creatures of the night... If you think you have what it takes to walk on the darkside, the Wild Samoan Training Center is the gateway, this is the gate that you must go through.. AND if you survive... IF you survive... Then maybe you can walk in the eternal darkness.

-The Undertaker"

 

 

Billy Kidman
WCW Cruiserweight Champion Billy KIDMAN"I graduated from the WildSamoan Training Center in November of 1994. I finished in a record time of 3 months from a6 month program. The training includes everything you need to know about the wrestling business and then some. The Wild Samoan Training Center is a must if you want to get anywhere in the world of Pro Wrestling. After 2 years of wrestling, I signed a contract with World Championship Wrestling. Thanks Afa for 'showing me the ropes' and helping me achieve my dreams.

Without the WXW and all the love and help from Pops (Afa) and everyone involved with the WXW and The Wild Samoan Training Center, I would have never been as successful as I was. I can't thank you all enough. I love and miss you all. Good luck with everything and please keep in touch.

Perfect Creation

Tommy and I trained with Afa the Wild Samoan, a former 3-time WWF Tag Team Champion with his brother Sika. Afa runs the ..1 Professional Wrestling Training Center in the world. Afa continues to train the best talent. And after you go through Afa's school, you are prepared for anything. POPS, as he is known to his students and friends, continues to create stars. POPS has trained so many stars, there are too many to list here. A few are Dave Bautista, The Rock, The Great Samu, Gene Snitsky, Rikishi, Billy Kidman, and now Tommy Suede.

Afa's school motto is, "We train you, brain you, and make fame of you". The lessons I learned from training with POPS extend beyond professional wrestling; they are life lessons. I have acheived success in the business world, as well as in wrestling. My wrestling training prepared me for all that.

Time and time again Afa has proven that with time, training and dedication, he can indeed make fame of you. If you happen to live in the Northeast, do not miss WXW's shows because you very well may be looking at the stars of tomorrow. If you are thinking about becoming a professional wrestler, there is no better school on earth!

 

Rikishi Phatu

Rikishi.jpg (23014 bytes)My life has changed, since I decided to become a pro-wrestler. I get to travel through out the whole world, and see different places I've never seen before, meet movie stars, singers, famous people though out the world, etc.

This job definitely given me the opportunity to live a good and comfortable life style but, I couldn't have done it without the help of my uncle 'Afa'. These are my definitions of the man called "Afa"

  1. OPPORTUNITY
  2. KNOWLEGEDE OF THE WRESTLING WORLD.( IN & OUT)
  3. 30 PLUS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
  4. WHO HELPS YOU TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
  5. GUIDANCE
  6. WHO KNOWS TALENT
  7. WHO CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENT'S
  8. HONESTY
  9. 3 TIME WORLD CHAMPION
  10. BUT MOST OF ALL MY "" UNCLE"""" AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THAT FOR NOTHING......

So, with all that being said, that's how the "WWE" got the man called "RIKISHI" Thanks to my uncle "Afa" I am proud to be the nephew/student/cousin of the Wild Samoan Training Center......

PS. Follow your heart & dreams will come true but the key is .......  THE WILD SAMOAN TRAINING CENTER "AFA"

Bret Hart's Latest Column, Various WWE Notes
Story By: Ray Kim
August 18, 2001

The following information comes from Slam! Wrestling - Bret Hart's latest column:

Anyone serious about learning the art of pro wrestling, my suggestion is go to one of a handful of established training camps that have withstood the test of time, survived the changes in the business, have emerged bigger and better than ever and continue to earn the right to call themselves the best.  The Wild Samoan Training Center.

Afa, the Wild Samoan, was trained by his late uncle, (High Chief) Peter Maivia, in the early '70's. If the name sounds familiar to you younger fans, it's because Peter Maivia was the grandfather of Rocky Maivia -- a.k.a. The Rock.

Afa trained his own brother, Sika, and together they formed the legendary tag team The Wild Samoans, who captured the Canadian tag team titles within two weeks of their arrival in Stampede Wrestling. They went on to travel the world earning 22 tag titles, including three in the WWE.

Over the years, successful members of this extended Samoan family have included Samu, Phatu, Tonga Kid, LA Smooth, Afa Jr., and, more recently, Rikishi and the late great Yokozuna.

Billy Kidman graduated from their program in '94.

The Wild Samoan Training Center is in Whitehall, Pa.
