- WWE Hall of Famer "High Chief" Peter Maivia celebrated his 78th birthday yesterday. The Rock posted the following message on Instagram about his grandfather:

Happy Birthday Grandpa. My grandfather, the late great High Chief Peter Maivia was somewhat of a walking contradiction. A proud High Chief of Samoa, WWE Hall of Famer, movie star rugged good looks (he once played a Bond villain opposite Sean Connery in YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE). The kind of man when he said "I love you", he meant it. When he hugged you tight, you felt it. The sweetest singing voice and the most kind, caring, gentle soul you'll ever know. And on one fateful night in Japan, a notoriously tough wrestler was being very rude to my grandpa and continued to disrespect him and his Samoan culture. My grandpa stood up, they fought... and my grandfather bit the man's eye out. End of fight. Grandpa passed away in Hawaii when I was 10yrs old. Still to this day, he's the most beloved and respected man I've ever known. People always tell me, "Your grandfather would be so proud of you". I hope so. Fa'amanatua lou aso fanau, ma lo'u alofa mo 'oe forever. Love you and grandma. #HappyBirthdayGrandpa
