Umaga’s Son Zilla Fatu On Wanting To Be A Wrestler – Goals For 2023

Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga, is eager to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a professional wrestler.

In December 2022, it was confirmed that Zilla had begun training as part of Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion.

Speaking to Muscle Man Malcolm, Zilla spoke about wanting to become a wrestler after being released from prison last year.

“To be honest, when I was in prison, I really didn’t have it on my mind, but when I came home and I saw that my family was on top of the business, I’m thinking, why not? I don’t know if you know or anybody else knows, but my dad didn’t want none of us to do wrestling, like at all. So that was kind of hard going against what my dad’s wishes were.”

Speaking about his goals for 2023, Zilla said that getting off parole will allow him to travel more and help immensely in his wrestling training.

“Really, just to get off parole faster [is my goal for 2023.] I don’t know if you know or anybody else knows, I am on parole right now, so that’s a big thing because I heard we can get off parole faster. That’s what I’m working on right now. There’s a whole bunch of paperwork. It’s a big process I have to go through and you know, obviously, I got to stay out of trouble and show them that I’m involved with the community. Yeah, just try to stay positive and not try to go down the bad route.”

Zilla added that due to the nature of his parole, he cannot leave Texas, which is why he chose the Houston-based Reality of Wrestling for his training.

Fatu added that the fact that Booker knew his dad and is an accomplished veteran also helped convince him that ROW was right for him.
