My Take
Look, there's something genuinely compelling about a guy who built his body on rugby pitches and then walked into a professional wrestling ring and just owned it. Fale Simitaitoko — better known to NJPW fans as Bad Luck Fale — is one of those big men who doesn't need to do much to command a room; the sheer physicality of a Tongan frame shaped by years of rugby does most of the talking for him. His run as part of the Bullet Club was when I really started paying attention — he was the muscle, the enforcer, the guy opponents genuinely didn't want to get near. Later sliding into House of Torture made perfect sense for someone who's always played the threat rather than the showman. He's not flash, but he doesn't need to be. That's actually a rare quality.
