Rikishi says he’s still numb over the passing of WWE Hall of Famers Afa & Sika.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Afa passed away in mid-August at the age of 80, less than two months after Sika passed away in late June at 79.
During a recent edition of his “Off the Top” podcast, Rikishi provided an update on how the Anoaʻi family is doing these days and how they plan on carrying forth the brothers’ legacy.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how the family is doing: “This one here was a big blow, back to back for our family. We lost Uncle Sika a few months ago, and then to lose Uncle Afa, nobody … we’re still mourning, you know? I got this news right after we left from the reunion, and … my body’s numb right now. My mind’s numb. We lost the father’s of this dynasty that started it all for us, giving us the opportunity to live the life that we live today. And it goes on. I’m still numb, to be honest.”
On carrying forth the brothers’ legacy: “It’s up to us those still here on this Earth to continue to carry on the responsibility with the utmost respect and dignity. Because at the end of the day we still have younger nephews and possibly more nieces that might want to join this industry of pro wrestling. At the end of the day, we need to continue to support each other as we always have through this industry.”
