Prolifik By Name, Prolific By Nature
Meet the man bringing a new type of wrestling to Fiji
When one pictures a DJ, rarely does one envision a professional wrestler behind the DJ deck. But when you meet Zaac Seru A.K.A. Prolifik The Gifted, with his striking nature and looks reminiscent of Aquaman, you’re instantly struck at how fitting these two worlds are to him. Especially when he opens up to Fiji Sun about his passion for both.
A multi-dimensional talent, Prolifik is a successful secondgeneration wrestler, and a soughtafter music producer and DJ, who knows how to move people. Both literally in the ring and through his music.
YOUNG AGE
Prolifik discovered his dual passions for music and wrestling at a young age. He explains; “My love of music was ignited when I first learnt to play the drums. Since the age of 13, I have been deejaying and producing music and have had the pleasure of working with many local hip-hop acts and performing at numerous venues.”
His musical skills are so adept that he’s had companies such as Adidas use his beats in advertising campaigns and he’s performed with acts such as The Game, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Obie Trice to name a few.
BACKGROUND
Not only does music maketh this man, but Prolifik is also a formidable force in the pro-wrestling world, a sport he fell in love with at a young age thanks to his father, prominent Fijian, John Seru. John Seru is best known across Australia and the United Kingdom as “Vulcan”, from the original television hit series “Gladiators” and as bad guy “Gabor” from the 1999 James Bond film “The World Is Not
Enough” with Pierce Brosnan. John’s professional background came from wrestling. In the early 1990’s he trained as a Professional Wrestler in Tampa Florida, USA with legendary wrestlers and trainer of champions, the Great Boris Malenko and his two sons Joe and Dean (both WWE Stars).
Vulcan has wrestled professionally across Australia and internationally for more than 26 years. He has also produced his own wrestling shows and has established the successful Vulcan’s Pro-Wrestling School along with an adjoining Fitness Centre, Club Vulcan in the year 2000.
FAMOUS DAD
But while having a famous dad made Prolifik fall in love with wrestling at a young age, he said his father treated him like any other student.
“When I was a kid, I was a huge wrestling fan – I was obsessed with WWF, WCW – so having dad as a wrestler was the greatest thing ever,” Prolifik said.
“He didn’t treat me like a son or go easy on me – he just treated me like a student.
“It was good, because he can be very tough on trying to teach you the proper techniques and drill in the proper exercises.”
An approach that has benefited Prolifik throughout his pro-wrestling career, as he carries on the family name and reputation as one of Australia’s top wrestlers. And with 19+years of pro-wrestling training under his belt, natural strength and pro-wrestling ability, he is well placed to take out the next Australian Wrestling heavy weight title.
Prolifik’s passion for music and wrestling also sees him work with his father John to develop a new form of entertainment that brings the best of both worlds under one roof: hip-hop wrestling.
HIP- HOP WRESTLING
Hip-hop wrestling is an exciting and high-energy experience, and is a new take on the ‘rock and roll wrestling’ craze of the 80s. These never-before seen wrestling shows are heading to Fiji in August 2020.
