RIP Umaga / Eddie Fatu

Posted by Anthony Mango Friday, December 4, 2009

Reports are saying that Eddie "Umaga" Fatu has been hospitalized and his condition is supposedly critical. Some say he may be brain damaged, others say he may have already passed away, but nothing (as of my knowing) has been confirmed, not even the rumor that he was found unconscious with his nose bleeding. Umaga is currently a trending topic on Twitter as his friends, family, and fans are waiting for something official to be announced. Let's hope something positive is announced soon.

UPDATE: Well unfortunately, WWE.com has confirmed that indeed, Eddie Fatu, formerly known as Umaga in the company, has passed away. As usual, my condolences and I'm sure all of Eddie's fans' go out to his friends and family. No details have been released yet as to what the cause of this sudden passing was.

Umaga was without a doubt one of the best "big men" working in the business today, and it's a shame we were only able to witness his talent for such a short time, as I feel he definitely had the potential to go down as one of the greats. He will be missed.
