The Wild Samoans had one of the great monster heel looks of all-time. Also perhaps the definitive "Albano team", with three separate runs as tag champs managed by him. Their best matches were as faces though, against the North South Connection in 1984 (oj recently raved about them in his WWF thread in the Microscope)

Wikipedia has the Samoans winning tag titles in twelve different promotions. Almost all their footage comes from the last third of their run. I feel like there's a decent handful of their matches that were great but are lost to time.

The Wild Samoans have one of my favorite origin stories. Afa and Sika were huge fans (in both senses of the word) who would go to shows at the Cow Palace and try to attack the heels, particularly opponents of Peter Maivia. Roy Shire decided to bring them into the business for the sake of the safety of his wrestlers.
