Zilla Fatu to make GCW debut next month

Zilla Fatu, the son of late pro wrestling legend Umaga, is set to debut for Game Changer Wrestling.

GCW has announced that Fatu will debut for the promotion at its Look At Me show in Tampa, Florida on Friday, January 26. His opponent for the show has not been revealed.

Fatu had his first pro wrestling match for Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling this July, but the two sides had a falling out shortly after that. Fatu is no longer part of Reality of Wrestling.

“I been getting a lot of calls, people been hitting us up asking us about Zilla Fatu and when they were going to see him again,” Booker T said in September. “Honestly, I can’t tell you when you’re gonna see Zilla Fatu again because he is now no longer a part of Reality of Wrestling due to irreconcilable differences, let’s just put it that way.”

Fatu said he and Booker T had different visions, but he appreciates everything Booker T and Reality of Wrestling did for him.

Fatu spent six years in prison for an aggravated robbery that happened when he was 15.

GCW Look At Me will air live on TrillerTV+ starting at 8 p.m. Eastern time on January 26. Joey Janela vs. AJ Francis (former WWE wrestler Top Dolla) and Mansoor vs. Tony Deppen have been announced for the show. Andrade El Idolo, Nick Gage, Blake Christian, Maki Itoh, Masha Slamovich, and Effy & Allie Katch will also be in action.

Over the weekend, Mansoor and Mace made a surprise appearance for Deadlock Pro Wrestlling. It’s also been announced that Mansoor and Mace will be appearing at Effy’s Big Gay Brunch in Tampa on Saturday, January 27.

“Completely blown away by the reaction to this,” Mansoor wrote after the Deadlock Pro appearance.”7.5k likes, well over half a million views. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone who shared this special moment. Promoters! We’re accepting bookings for 2024.”

Andrade El Idolo, Blake Christian, Nick Gage, Maki Itoh, Masha Slamovich, and Effy & Allie Katch are among the other wrestlers who will be competing at GCW Look At Me. The show is being held in Tampa during WWE Royal Rumble weekend.
