The Islanders was a professional wrestling tag team. The members were Tonga Fifita (Haku) and Sam Fatu (Tama), and they wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation. They were managed by Bobby Heenan and had a memorable feud with The British Bulldogs in which they kidnapped their pet mascot Matilda.[1] They were also very briefly joined by a third islander Siva Afi. Haku and Tama are both related to current members of The Bloodline stable in WWE per its roots in the Anoaʻi family; Haku is the father of Tonga Loa and adopted father of Tama Tonga, while Tama is the father of Jacob Fatu and the uncle of current de facto leader Solo Sikoa.
