III. Rikishi's Biography-
Height- 6'1"
Weight- 350 lbs
Favorite Quote- "Back that ass up!"
Career Highlights- Intercontinental Champion; Tag Team Champion (2)

Weighing more than 400 pounds, Rikishi is one of the most imposing monsters
in sports entertainment. But perhaps the scariest thing about him is his butt,
which he likes to stick in the face of opponents, delivering to them the
dreaded Stink Face!

Rikishi has enjoyed a great deal of success in the World Wrestling. As a member
of the Headshrinkers tag team, he held the Tag Team Championship back in 1994.
Since rejoining WWE in 1999, he has enjoyed a successful run as Intercontinental
Champion. He also made it to the finals of the 2000 King of the Ring tournament,
before narrowly losing to Kurt Angle.

The Phat Man was embroiled in controversy in late 2000 when it was revealed that he
was driving the car that ran down Stone Cold Steve Austin at the 1999 Survivor Series.
But Rikishi has come a long way since then, earning back his spot in the hearts of
fans around the world.

After missing a good portion of 2001 due to injury, Rikishi is back and better than
ever. And if anyone gets in his way, he might have a Stink Face for them -- and a
dance for the fans!
