About the Training Center
The Wild Samoan Training Center, Inc. was founded over thirty years ago by WWE Hall of Famer Afa "The Wild Samoan". It was in Pensacola, Florida that the now world-famous facility first began to train and assist in making the dream of becoming a pro wrestler a reality. Over the years while The Wild Samoan himself was living his own dream as a pro-wrestler, Afa continued to train and assist with careers of other hopefuls and as he traveled the world, he moved the training center to Connecticut and later to Pennsylvania so that he could always have a hand in helping others. Throughout the thirty years, many have passed through the ropes of this training genius who has earned the name "POPS" by those who know him best.
Afa's own brother Sika was his first student, and together with Afa formed the original extreme tag-team known as "The Wild Samoans". They held 21 tag titles including being the first team to hold the WWE tag belts three times. The blood line of some of Afa and Sika's family who make up the Samoan Dynasty includes: The Great Samu, Rikishi, the late Umaga, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Haku, Jimmy Superfly Snuka, Afa Jr, Tonga Kid, The Black Pearl, L.A. Smooth, Rosey, Toa Maivia, Sean Maluta, Kava, Kid Breeze, Sarona Snuka and the late Yokozuna. The Wild Samoan Dynasty is one of the largest wrestling families and continues to grow with more second and third generation future superstars who are currently in training.
Some of the names of the past and present who have benefited from the Wild Samoan include: Michael Hayes, the late Junk Yard Dog, Paul "Mr. Wonderful Orndorff, Paul E. Dangerously, Hulk Hogan, the late Sherri Martell, the late Bam Bam Bigelow, Doink the Clown, Luna Vachon, Gangrel, Gene Snisky, Batista, Sal Corrente, John Rambo, Homicide and many more.
About WXW (World X-Treme Wrestling)
The training camp is the place where it all begins. Afa specializes with assisting newcomers, teaching them all of the basics, independent wrestlers who need to tone up their skills, and seasoned wrestlers who need to get ring time. It starts in the classroom, and it is later through WXW Wrestling that his students get to shine as the upcoming starts of tomorrow in the WXW teaching federation. WXW is proud to offer a women's league that offers women athletes the chance to showcase their talents on their own all-women events.
Afa developed WXW Wrestling to offer a "training promotion" where his students and up and coming wrestlers could perform to gain crowd exposure and TV experience through these live events. Some of the names that passed through WXW include: Shawn Spears, Beth Phoenix, Matt Stryker, Shannon Moore, Tracy Brooks, Gail Kim, Velvet Sky, Homicide, Low Ki, Mercedes Martinez and Sinn.
The Wild Samoan Training Center and WXW Wrestling has trained thousands of students, and not only to wrestle. Other areas include: managers, valets, ring announcers, referees, camera and editing personnel, creative writers, promoters, security, and marketing skills. Afa has offered his students worldwide experience, including being part of Wild Samoan Training Center wrestling clinics that took place in Italy and Austria. Others have traveled the globe entertaining our troops on military tours to such places as Egypt, Afghanistan, Guam, Hawaii, Samoa, Japan, China, Pakistan, and Alaska.
Being the best trainer has its rewards. Afa was scouted by world renowned movie director Darren Aronofsky to train the actor Mickey Rourke for the movie "The Wrestler", which won the highest award- The Golden Lion, at the Venice film festival. The movie was purchased by Fox Searchlight Films and was released in theaters in December 2008.

WWE Hall of Famer Afa "The Wild Samoan" Supports Literacy
Minneola, FL
Wrestling legend Afa "The Wild Samoan" Anoa`i, along with his daughter Tovale and wife Lynn, visited Grassy Lake Elementary School as part of the "NEA's Read Across America" program. Pictured below- Ms. Walter's and Ms. Sena's 5th grade classes enjoy Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham, which was read by Vale with fun interaction from Afa.
The Wild Samoan is the founder of Usos Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 organization that offers positive, alternative choices to the negativity that is in our children's reach. The at-risk youth programs challenge our youth and helps build their self-esteem, mind-body-spirit connection, and sense of worth.
Afa says that: "Education is the best tool that we can give to our youngsters, and I'm happy to volunteer my time to give back to the community any way I can."
Afa's daughter Vale is an actress, and author of four books, who began reading at the young age of two. She has been passionate about books ever since, and loves to share her love for reading with others, especially children.
Each student received an autographed picture of the Wild Samoan, and had the opportunity to hold his WWE Hall of Fame ring as he generously passed it around the room.
"You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child."
