Bad Luck Fale
The Gentle Giant's Grim Fate
Deep in the heart of Tonga, where the sun dips into the Pacific like a fiery ember, there lives a man who embodies the very essence of bad luck. His name is Bad Luck Fale, but to those who know him best, he's simply known as the Gentle Giant.
Standing at 6'4" with a chiseled physique that would put a demigod to shame, Fale cuts an imposing figure in the ring. His weight, a whopping 156 kg, is only matched by his unyielding ferocity once the bell rings. This powerhouse of a wrestler has earned himself a reputation as one of the most formidable grapplers in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
But beneath the rugged exterior lies a man with a story to tell – a tale of perseverance and heartache. Born in 1982, Fale's early years were marked by hardship and struggle. His rugby background taught him the value of resilience, but it was wrestling that gave him his true calling.
As King Fale, he stormed into the ring with a fury that left opponents reeling. His Bad Luck Fall, Grenade (Choke Lariat), T-Shock, Samoan Drop, Cliff Hanger, and Shoulder Tackle were just a few of the moves that earned him the nickname "The Rogue General." It was as if he willed his own bad luck upon those who dared to step into the ring with him.
Despite his fearsome reputation, Fale's quiet dignity has won over fans worldwide. When asked about his wrestling style, he simply shrugs and says, "I'm just a Tongan boy doing what I love." His humility belies the fact that he's one of the most popular wrestlers in NJPW.
As The Underboss, Fale's allegiance to his New Japan brethren is unwavering. His partnership with Tama Tonga has forged an unbreakable bond, and together they form a force to be reckoned with.
So here's to Bad Luck Fale – a man who defies explanation, except by the sheer force of his own willpower. When the curtain falls on his illustrious career, one thing is certain: his legend will live on as a testament to the power of resilience and the unyielding spirit of the Gentle Giant.
Bad Luck or Good Fortune? Only Time Will Tell.
