Description:

May is when we celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage. Next we’ll drop in on the world of wrestling. In the Bay Area’s world of pro-wrestling, Polynesian wrestlers are a small but influential group, with a rich and proud history. We bring you their story from our Culture Keepers series – celebrating the Bay Area’s unique spaces and people.

Pro-wrestling is DRAMATIC. A combination of storytelling, live theater, sports and entertainment. And Wrestling has a lot of sub-groups… with individual lore, fandoms, and legacies. Reporter Demetrius Johnson introduces us to a wrestler from a Samoan pro-wrestling dynasty, in this story from March 2025.
