Real-life Bloodline member wants Umaga to get inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
The WWE Hall of Fame is one of the highest honors in professional wrestling, and many notable names are still missing from the list. Recently, Zilla Fatu called for his father's (Umaga) induction into the prestigious club.
Umaga has etched his name in the Stamford-based company's history books, as The Samoan Bulldozer was once a force to reckon with inside the square circle. The star held the Intercontinental Championship on two occasions before he was eventually released from WWE.
After his release, he worked on the independent circuit before his untimely passing away in 2009. Lately, Zilla Fatu has been making waves on the independent circuit, as he recently captured the HOG Crown Jewel Title.
Speaking to MuscleManMalcom, the star called for his late father's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
"Hell yeah! If not next year, the following year. Every year, we're going to keep putting his name [Umaga] out there and representing him the right way. Obviously, the world knows about him; everybody knows him," Fatu said. (From 00:29 to 00:40)

Real-life Bloodline member in WWE often pays tribute to Umaga
In 2022, Solo Sikoa appeared out of nowhere on the main roster and assisted Roman Reigns against Drew McIntyre in Wales. The Street Champion also brought the NXT North American Championship to the main roster for a few days before he relinquished it.
By the end of the year, Solo Sikoa added a new move to his arsenal and sidelined Spinning Solo as his finishing move. The rising star made the Samoan Spike his new finisher in the company and paid tribute to the late Umaga. Sikoa also shared a post regarding it upon adopting the move.
Solo Sikoa reached new heights in the Stamford-based promotion as he forcefully took over The Bloodline following the events at WrestleMania XL. He's also set to face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Title at The Biggest Party of The Summer in Ohio this weekend.
