Afa and Sika made their debut as The Wild Samoans in 1973 with Stampede Wrestling and competed across several NWA territories winning multiple tag team championships for the remainder of the 70s.

The pair signed with the WWF in 1980 and won the World Tag Team Championship twice before heading to New Japan Pro-Wrestling a year later. Sika returned to the WWF on two more occasions, first alongside Afa in 1983 when they won the Tag Team Titles, and later as a singles wrestler in 1986.

Sika left the WWF in 1988 and competed in a handful of matches on the independent scene before retiring in 1991.

The Wild Samoans were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
