Quote:
Fatu spoke to a group of 12 and 13-year-old young offenders and told them about his successes and the need to reach towards
positive goals.
"I told them to 'write down your hopes and dreams and find opportunities to get your dreams.' "

Rikishi is likely to be going over to All Japan, most likely as a regular there. He met with Keiji Muto in Hawaii last
month and they talked about Rikishi starting in September or maybe even October, with the idea that he'd debut on 10/31 at
the AJPW 32nd Anniversary show at Tokyo Sumo Hall.
Muto stated that the company's financial situation wouldn't allow them to pay Rikishi the type of money that he should
be paid, but he still expressed major interest in coming in and forming a tag-team with Jamal, who is currently the company's
highest ranking foreign wrestler. If Rikishi were to debut with AJPW, he would get the top foreigner spot.
