Yokozuna: The Fall, Rise, and Tragedy of Wrestling’s Most Dominant Big Man

He wasn’t just a “big guy.” He was a force of nature.
Yokozuna, one of the most dominant and mysterious superstars in WWE history, bulldozed through the '90s with unstoppable size, agility, and presence. But behind the scenes? There was pain, pressure, and the tragic weight of expectation. In this full-length documentary-style shoot episode, we explore the rise, peak, and heartbreaking fall of a man both feared in the ring and forgotten too soon by the business that made him a legend. 🩸💔🏆
From his early days as a Samoan prodigy molded into a sumo monster, to his meteoric push to the WWF Championship, and ultimately to the weight battles and backstage politics that shortened his life, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real man behind the gimmick. Featuring rare insights, industry reactions, and emotional truths — this is the Yokozuna story that Vince never told.
He crushed legends. But in the end, the system crushed him.
