Dumbed content moved here

Someone dumbed the following substandard content into this article. While it contains information relevant to the article's subject, it is written horribly, disregarding proper spelling, using un-encyclopedic language.

In 1999, Sika started up an independent wrestling promotion in Pensacola, Fl called XW 2000, along with its co-founders and original members, Sam Anoai aka Samu, Matt Anoai (aka Rosey aka Roz), Steve Savage, Maxwel E Payne, Eddie Pitman aka Chief Iron Claw, Rick Lamb aka Lord Humongous(with Manager Mike "Romeo" Flynn), Chris Cody, Deuce Mason among a plethora of young talent whose mission was to help the Community and Non Profit Organizations through Fund Raising/Pro Wrestling Events. From 1999 until 2008, the promotion had a successful run, along with WWE, AWA, WWA, WXW and NWA Legends and Superstars such as Don Fargo, Rikishi, Luna Vachon, Gangrel, The Island Boyz Ekmo(aka Umaga) and Kimo (aka Rosey/Roz), Grandmaster Sexay and Black Pearl among others. XW 2000 also featured quite a few Legends and Independent Stars such as Doctor X, Bobby Doll(Former WWE Star) Gino Galento/Wendy G Kennedy (retired Pro Wrestler turned Actor and Formerly known as Fabulous Fabio) B.A.D. (aka Bolo ), Heavy B, D Ray 3000 (formerly known as Don Crisis and Kid Crisis),Ron Fargo, Steve Fury, James Ryker, Cameron Frost, Billy Rayz, Scotty Rayz, Sirus LaVaye ( aka Mister Omega ), DJ Pringle, Jerry Reiner (formerly known as 123 Kidd and Mr Electricity)Chris Tighe, Big E and Miss Fire just to name a few talented performers... Since 2010 XW 2000 run Shows with the same noble purpose from its first day of creation which is to help the Community with Family oriented Pro Wrestling Shows for Fund Raising Events to our War Veterans and help the Community in general across the Florida Panhandle.

When did he retire?

I see sources saying late 1980's (but no year) and a few unreliable sources saying 1991 (which is also in the article). Can anyone find a exact source for the career section? Sharrdx (talk) 00:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with wrestling at all let alone wrestling articles so correct me if i'm wrong. Sharrdx (talk) 00:11, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Birth name?

The article currently has his birth name as "Leati Sika Amituana'i Anoaʻi" but both https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8pJH05JCmJ and https://x.com/WWERomanReigns/status/1805778972783034801 refer to him as "Pola'ivao Leati Sika Anoa’i". Thoughts? IanPCP (talk) 08:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
