Rikishi has had respectable career as on of the main Samoan professional wrestlers to enter the WWF. His most notable, and possibly most insane, move in the organization was attempting to take out "Stone Cold" Steve Austin with his car back in 2000. Also, he recently proved that he still isn't afraid to battle, by calling out Kim Kardashian in an official Booty Contest.
He first got his start in wrestling back in 1985 with the International Wrestling Promotion in Montreal. After that he bounced around from wrestling organization to wrestling organization. He actually started wrestling in the WWF in 1992, but not under the name Rikishi.
He didn't take that name until 1999.
In 2000, Mick Foley "accidentally" implicated Rikishi as the one who had run over Steve Austin in Survivor Series a year before. According to Cage Side Seats, Rikishi didn't shy away from the truth:
"On October 9, 2000, Rikishi admitted to using his car to run over Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rattlesnake was getting the big push from the WWF at the time and Rikishi saw that as yet another example of the promotion holding back a Samoan performer. As a result, Rikishi spent the next few months feuding with Stone Cold and it was eventually revealed that Triple H was the mastermind behind the entire operation..."
In recent news, however, the now 49-year-old Samoan is feuding with a new competitor. According to TMZ Sports, Rikishi thinks his buns can beat Kim Kardashians:
"Former WWE star Rikishi says he wants to end the speculation and finally challenge Kim Kardashian to an official BOOTY CONTEST! Of course, Rikishi's gargantuan ass was so famous back the day, he used it in his finishing move -- The Stinkface -- where he would run his whole 'donk in his opponents face. [He] says it's finally time to crown a big ass champ...and it sounds like he's ready to break out the measuring tape!!"
