Fale Simitaitoko (born 8 January 1982) is a Tongan New Zealander professional wrestler and former rugby union player. He currently works for New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) as Bad Luck Fale (バッドラック・ファレ Baddorakku Fare). In NJPW, he is a three-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champion and a one-time IWGP Intercontinental Champion. His name literally translates to "house" in Tongan, which suits his wrestling persona as an immovable force.
Fale is one of the founding members of the infamous Bullet Club, an originally all-foreigner group that has seen great success in the company. The group and his dojo, the Fale Dojo has helped add a bridge for non-Japanese wrestlers to wrestle for New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
