Soon after, Samu left the WWF to recover from injuries and was replaced bySione(formerly The Barbarian).
They were called The New Headshrinkers.
Thestorylinereason for Samu's departure was that he was not coping well with manager Lou Albano's attempts to civilize him, particularly about wearing boots.
The New Headshrinkers made only two PPV appearances, at the1994 Survivor Series, where they were eliminated from their ten-man tag match, but helped their team win[24]and at the1995 Royal
Rumble; Sione lasted about seven minutes early on and Fatu over five nearer the end.
They entered a tournament to crown new WWF tag team champions in late 1994/early 1995, and lost to Bam Bam Bigelow andTatankain the semi-finals.
[25]For the first half of 1995, they worked withJacob & Eli Blu, usuallyputting them over.
Their final match was a loss to Men on a Mission at a June 22 house show inLondon, England, after which Sione left for WCW and Fatu was removed from WWF television.[26]
After a brief hiatus, Fatu reappeared as a singles wrestler in July 1995 repackaged as a streetwise positiverole model, for which he filmed several vignettes in his old San Francisco neighborhood touching on his real-life upbringing in theghettoand preaching the messages of staying in school and saying no to drugs,[27]
all while he spoke fluent English. Each segment ended with the onscreen phrase "Make a Difference", making it the unofficial name of the gimmick.
Fatu made his in-ring return on July 29 by pinningRad RadfordonWWF Superstars, and then enjoyed a run of victories overenhancement talentfor the remainder of the year.[
