HALL OF FAME
WWE Hall of Fame Inductee
March 28, 2015
SAP Center • San Jose, California
THE MOMENT
On the eve of WrestleMania 31, Rikishi took his rightful place among wrestling's immortals. The SAP Center in San Jose, California—just miles from his San Francisco hometown—erupted as one of the Attitude Era's most beloved superstars was enshrined forever.
In a moment that embodied the spirit of the Anoa'i dynasty, Rikishi was inducted by his own sons, Jimmy and Jey Uso. The passing of the torch from father to sons symbolized not just a personal triumph, but the continuation of a legendary wrestling bloodline.
From the Headshrinkers to Too Cool, from the Sultan to the dancing, Stink Face-delivering fan favorite—Rikishi's journey through WWE had come full circle in the most prestigious way possible.
