Wrestling
A number have also ventured into professional wrestling (see: Anoa'i family). World Wrestling Entertainment has employed many members from the Anoa'i family, most famously Dwayne Johnson. The company most recently employed Anoa'i member Eddie Fatu, better known to wrestling fans as Umaga, who had a traditional Samoan gimmick and was also known at times as the Samoan Bulldozer. Also in professional wrestling, under the brand TNA or Total Nonstop Action, there is a wrestler called Samoa Joe.

Famous quotes containing the word wrestling:
“We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the very moment when the sun steps out, and says: “I will the sun to rise”; and at him who cannot stop the wheel, and says: “I will it to roll”; and at him who is taken down in a wrestling match, and says: “I lie here, but I will that I lie here!” And yet, all laughter aside, do we ever do anything other than one of these three things when we use the expression, “I will”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
