Cm Punk Vs Umaga

Edward "Eddie" Fatu (March 28, 1973 ? December 4, 2009)was a Samoan-American professional wrestler better known by his ring name Umaga. He was best known for his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, where he was a two-time Intercontinental Champion. 

He was a member of the Anoa'i wrestling family and frequently worked as a part of a tag team ? variously named The Island Boyz, the Samoan Gangstas, and 3-Minute Warning ? with his cousin Matt Anoa'i. During Fatu's first stint with WWE, he was known as Jamal and Matt was billed as Rosey. In late 2005, Fatu returned to WWE. Repackaged under the ring name "Umaga", Fatu went undefeated for many months on WWE's Raw brand throughout much of 2006, before suffering his first defeat under the Umaga name in January of 2007. Known by his many nicknames, including "The Samoan Bulldozer" and "The Samoan Savage", Fatu died on December 4, 2009, as a result of a heart attack. 

Eddie Fatu suffered a second heart attack while in the hospital today. He was removed from life support earlier this afternoon and passed away shortly before 6EST tonight. He was 36.
