My prayers go out to the fatu family. Man I was a fan of his, he grew on me a lot since the cena fued. and his early wwe career, he moved in the ring better than most smaller guys this sucks.Those words echo such truths, the people looking down on him because of his demons need to try and look past that. The man had a family, and it IS a shame he didn't overcome his problems, but at the end of the day, he was a son, brother, father, a husband, and an entertainer - to ALL of us. I was never a huge fan of his, but at the end of the day I did like watching him, I was a fan, and through watching someone so long - for years, inviting them into your living room week after week... it's hard to wrap your head around the fact that the person is gone. I don't know, ever since I lost my father death has a much bigger impact on me, even when I don't personally know the person. I have to say, this news breaks my heart.

Isnt it ironic how someone just pops into your head at random and then something tragic happens to them?
Im a police officer down in S. Fla, and for some reason I was thinking of his theme during shift, so much in fact, that when I finished shift, I put in my WWE cd just to listen to his entrance theme.
This is indeed a very tragic death in the world of pro wrestling. No death is more important than another, but the fact that he was an entertaining performer, and such a gifted athlete makes it that much sadder that he is gone so soon. I can honestly say that he was a performer who I enjoyed watching in the ring. His agility and ability to execute moves that guys half his size couldnt pull off was very impressive. In many ways, he reminded me of a smaller version of one of his relatives (Yokozuna), who was also taken too soon from us.
From a life long wrestling fan, RIP Umaga, you will be severaly missed.

Anyone else really hoping Monday night on RAW they let some performers talk about him? We knew him as a Bulldozer, they knew him as a co-worker and friend. I'd love to hear some stories.

Whoa, I went to the store to grab an onion, and come back and it's confirmed... Such a big loss to the wrestling world. He was such an amazing big man with his agility and flexibility. My heart and condolences go out to his family and friends. What a shame. Congratulations Umaga. You had a great career, but now your just another statistic. Everyone has problems, no one is perfect. True. But its almost a new decade, after wrestlings history with drugs why is this crap honestly still going on. He cant learn? He had things going good for him. To say he would never be in WWE again would probably be false. And he refused WWE's help? It's bad that he's gone, but he brought it on himself, threw his career down the drain and became another wrestler to die under the age of 40. Umaga disgraced his legendary family.

He definately did his job in entertaining me and I always thought he couldve been a great WWE Champion at one point.

If his death was brought on by sleep apnea as Jim Ross has suggested then its not his fault if it went undiagnosed.

The man performed in a high profile match at WrestleMania in front of what, 80,000+ people in attendance? Held championships, got some good pushes - I'd say he was one of the most successful career-wise in his family. He'll go down as one of the best big men in wrestling history - and as far as the, 'why couldn't he learn' thing goes, for decades PEOPLE have been dying from drug abuse, how come they can't learn? You make it sound like just because of his profession he should have known better. NEWSFLASH: Drugs kill ANYONE regardless of what they do for a living. Just because he is a pro-wrestler doesn't mean he's not just as human as everyone else.

I hope people around here realize Shawn Michaels was one of the biggest druggies in the WWF in '90s. Had he died, the sympathy would be through the roof -- and why? Because he's a legend. Umaga may not be a legend, but he's still a human being, and human beings make mistakes. A drug-induced death is still a death and still warrants sympathy.
It goes to show the maturity level of some people around here. Drugs are a big deal. A lot of people do them, and plenty lose their lives to them. I don't understand why there is some sort of death sympathy-o-meter going on nowadays, with assassination drawing the most attention and sympathy, and suicide drawing the least. Natural causes, of course, would register in the middle.
Death is not a contest. I don't feel sorrier for one person over another, nor should anybody else.
