Article
Edward Smith Fatu (March 28, 1973 – December 4, 2009) was an American professional wrestler. He was best known for his tenure in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), under the ring name Umaga. Fatu was also known for his tenure in All Japan Pro Wrestling in the mid-2000s, under the ring name Jamal.
He was a member of the Anoaʻi family, a renowned Samoan wrestling family. During his first stint with WWE billed as Jamal, he was part of tag team 3-Minute Warning, with his cousin Matt Anoaʻi, billed as Rosey. He was released from the company in June 2003, later going to All Japan Pro Wrestling (AJPW) and becoming a mainstay for the company from late 2003 to 2005. In April 2006, Fatu returned to WWE under the ring name Umaga. Fatu went undefeated on the Raw brand throughout the year before finally suffering his first defeat in January 2007 at the hands of then WWE Champion John Cena. The following month, he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship for the first time, and won it for the second time in July 2007. He also appeared in the "Battle of the Billionaires" WrestleMania 23 match as Vince McMahon's representative. He was released by WWE in June 2009 and wrestled on the independent circuit until his death in December of that year.
