Confidence Boost Moment
Jacob Fatu has not kept his thoughts to himself regarding the physical and mental transformation that altered his profession.

Return With Doubt

Styles’ Honest Advice

The styles were mere symbols of what Fatu had not valued in a general sense. I observed the change, man, you have abs, Dude. I’d go out there with no shirt. What are you doing?” On the one hand, Fatu could laugh at the directness and the frankness of the moment. This remark made him reassess the way he was presenting himself on the screen.
The first thing which Fatu confessed is the fact that he was embarrassed when he took off the shirt. Feedback of Styles was being heard to be important. This was a later period in his career when Styles was able to be rewarded publicly by Fatu where he called him the Phenomenal One. He said impetus was his ability to eliminate indecisiveness.
