This segment went from being a complete joke that was constantly mocked, to being one of the greatest wrestling works that ever manifested itself into a shoot
I don't think wrestling fans fully appreciate how amazingly well this segment foreshadowed what's happening in WWE today

Rikishi's heel turn flopped so hard they had to swerve and turn it into Triple H ordering a bit on Steve Austin.

The fact that Triple Nose was revealed to be the one helping out Rikishi is the icing on the foreshadow cake, kek

Rikishi said the WWE was racist and never let the Islanders near main event scenes, but Rikishi was there pulling strnings to make sure The Rock was always teh main event guy and said his boys would run the company one day. Now look at this

>Jey
>Solo

>work: Rikishi bitched about Samoans not getting real opportunities in WWE
>shoot: the main event scene in WWE has been dominated by coconut theater for years now, and we have several random heavily-pushed Samoans now including Rikishi's own son who is considered a main-event talent
>work: Rikishi did it for The Rock
>shoot: After Austin left WWE, Rock went on to become a rich big-name actor, and obtained a high position as a board member over WWE
>work: Triple H conspired with Rikishi to get rid of Austin
>shoot: After Austin left WWE, Triple H dominated main events and rose up in WWE to become CCO/head of creative
We made fun of that angle while having no idea how much it would unintentionally influence WWE over the next 25 years

All those Samoan faggots are now stuck in a vortex of a never ending feud between all of them. Gay Uso flopped so hard he single handedly tanked WWE's new boom period and now Sikoa is flopping so hard Smackdown has become an irrelevant shitty show.
