#*slaps the roof of the bear fx* - “you can fit so many tropes and genres and references into this!”

I think they've subliminally teased

John Cena as Sammy Fak since season one, there are multiple sound bites used for the Ballbreaker arcade machine in The Original Beef that features prominently in Season One, before the restaurant's renovation and Neil Fak's removal of the machine to his home. Listen to the soundbite at the end of this clip which happens directly after Richie browbeats and emasculates Carmy in front of Sydney and the rest of the staff before Fak comes in to service the Ballbreaker machine.....

Doesn't that sound like John Cena's voice in character as Sammy? There's something to be said for the way the Faks operate like NPCs on the periphery of Carmy's life and seem to orbit around him - and now with his fractured relationship with Claire they seem to be circling closer, in and in.

P.S. If you find this interesting, you may want to check out my fan theory post here on the Faks and their dynamic with Claire; including that they may be a dark, satirical visualization of Carmy's desire for Sydney being cock-blocked.
