Unexpected Name Signs WWE Legends Contract

While WWE has had former stars like The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, and Steve Austin signed to Legends Contacts for some time, more recently, smaller but still notable names like Jacqueline and Victoria have inked deals. And now, somewhat unexpectedly, it has been reported by PWInsider.com that Armando Alejandro Estrada, best remembered for managing Umaga, has also agreed on a deal allowing WWE to use his likeness for video games, action figures, and other merchandise.

45-year-old Estrada, real name Hazem Ali, broke into the business in 2004 via OVW and was initially a wrestler, although would also work as a backstage interviewer. His big break would come in 2006 when he was called up to Raw as Umaga’s mouthpiece, although he occasionally wrestled, with his biggest match being against John Cena. Then, once he was separated from Umaga, he ended up being made the storyline General Manager of WWE’s version of ECW, where he feuded with Colin Delaney.
