HAKU is toughest wrestler of all time

Yes, he rightfully won that poll one year ago. I just wanted to remind everyone that he's still the toughest wrestler of all time. He's the one man that wrestlers from the 80s and 90s least wanted to mess with. It's time for some Haku stories:

Fifita made a name for himself outside the ring as the toughest wrestler of his era and is known for allegedly biting off noses, and knocking people out with one punch, slap, or headbutt. Though he had an easygoing, friendly personality outside of wrestling, he had very little tolerance for people who tested him.

Bad News Brown said in interviews that Fifita was without a doubt the most vigorous.

Bill Goldberg has also called him the toughest man he's been in the ring with.

Road Warrior Animal said in a shoot interview that Haku was the toughest wrestler of his era.

Bobby Heenan said in a shoot interview that Haku was "the toughest man I've ever met in my life."

In 1987, Haku had a backstage fight with Jesse Barr (who wrestled at the WWF as Jimmy Jack Funk) which allegedly resulted in Fifita gouging one of Barr's eyeballs out, causing Barr to later wear a glass eye. After this fight, Fifita had a reputation that steered wrestlers away from backstage confrontations.

In the book Arn Anderson: 4 Ever, Arn Anderson cites an event where Fifita pushed a cowboy through two sets of doors with one hand - and a conversation with The Barbarian about who was tougher. The Barbarian just shook his head when Anderson asked who would win in a fight between him and Fifita and stated "Meng's the man." If you've read Arn Anderson's book, you'll also know that AA said this about Meng: "There are 3 types of men: tough men, wrestler-tough men, and then there's Meng."

He had an altercation with Brutus Beefcake after Beefcake complained to WWF management that Tonga slapped him too hard during a match. After WWF management informed Tonga, he immediately went to the locker room and grabbed Beefcake out of the shower, and began choking him, lifting him two feet off the floor. Other wrestlers were hesitant to break it up, so finally Hulk Hogan (who Tonga respected) was called in and was able to calm Tonga down.

Kevin Sullivan on Meng: "One time I asked him to do something that was completely wrong and he got a little upset. And I mean that was the scaredest I've ever been in my life and he wasn't even that up. Thank God."

Kevin Sullivan story about Meng: Kevin is the booker at the time in WCW and he tells these guys to do the job and these wrestlers are all pissed and upset about loosing and they tell Sullivan to go **** himself and they'll fight Sullivan and anyone else because they're the baddest ****ers around and they'll kill anyone around here. Then Keven said "Wait a minute, I'll get Meng to handle this for me" and then all those guys start telling Kevin "We'll do the jobs, we'll do whatever you want."

Jake Roberts said it best: If I had a gun and was sitting inside a tank with one shell left and Meng is 300 yards away? He's mine, right? Well the first thing I'm gonna do is jump out of the tank and shoot myself because I don't want to wound that son of a ***** and have him pissed off at me.

Here's what Chris Candido said about Meng: "He was talking to me, Tammy, and Chris Jericho. In comes Eric Bischoff and Greg Gagne and they walk right in front of us and starts talking to Meng. He looks at them and goes "Hey!". And the entire lockerroom just froze. I was like "Man, these weren't just funny stories, this guy must really be tough". And then Meng says "Apologize to my friends, I'm talking" and everyone shuts up while Bischoff and Gagne apologize to me, Tammy, and Chris.

Even Harley Race has stated the there's only one man in wrestling history that he was afraid to get into a fight with and that as Meng.

In an interview with Alex Marvez, Fifita was asked about one of his legendary fights. Fifita stated his favorite was one that "cost him a lot of money." He was at the Baltimore Airport Hilton bar with Sivi Afi when five men started laughing at them and said, "You guys are the fake wrestlers on TV." In response Fifita replied, "I’ll just show you how fake it is," and reached over and grabbed one man while three others jumped on him. As they repeatedly punched him he knocked Three of them out and then applied the Tongan death grip one of them and then Fifita bit the nose of the man he initially grabbed and spat it out. They saw him spit out their friend's nose, and before he could fight them, they quickly evaded. Months later, he saw on the news that he was being sued $2.5 million for the incident.

Adding on to that,

-Fellow wrestler Rick Steiner discussed an incident where Fifita fought eight police officers and was arrested in Los Angeles. Steiner stated, "I was in LA one time with him and he fought eight cops, they shot him with mace and he closed his eyes and sucked it in. He just opened his mouth and took a deep breath."

-Wrestler Ted DiBiase described an incident where Fifita was arrested in St. Louis: "Some of the guys got into a fight and Meng got involved. He was just trying to help and in the process of trying to help, he gets maced by 4 cops and handcuffed. Now they handcuffed him behind his back and then he said 'Is this it?' and he broke the handcuffs. He snapped them."


:wow: :lol:

The guy is like some kind of mythic figure. Not eem real life..

Man I lost it when he started spazzing and yelling "SUBMISSION WRESTLING" :lol: :lol:
 
Caught up on the last 2 episodes of Total Divas. Kinda getting tired of Bellas/Eva being shoved down our throats. ANd yea, I see what yall mean about Bellas not being all that good looking.
 
Making a prediction right now

Don't care what some internet reports say, The next Paul Heyman is going to be Roman Reigns.
 
Listen to Cheap Heat Podcast. The Wrestling podcast from ESPN Grantland. Seth Rosenberg was on there this week and they discussed a LOT about Mark Henry and why he never was pushed. They state the obvious but it was still a good show.

But I forgot that yall are fake wrestling fans and only watch RAW

Aces and Eights finally ended tonight. Aces and Eights. Tonight. After that roster purge from awhile back, I don't even know what other members were still on the roster other than Knox, Bully Ray, and Taz :lol:

Something that had alot of potential, too. Wes Briscoe is one of the main reasons it bombed.


This Ethan Carter dude is terrible.

Had loads of potential, but just like WCW, TNA never knew when to end it. Who's Ethan Carter though :lol: ? oooooo it's Derrick Batemen :lol: was a fan of his as well and was looking forward to his USA Guy gimmick. Sort of wish him and Johnny Curtis had teamed more too, cause their gimmick together was purposely messing up tag team moves :rofl:

Yea man yall are disrespectful. Yall will drive 200 miles to see a Club Jet match but won't listen to a podcast. I don't get it.

What is a correct wrestling style of Xavier Woods? I didn't watch much of TNA back in the day. Still catching up on NXT so I am unfamiliar with his work.

As far as podcasts go I listen to solomonster sounds off, two and a half wrestlers, law, mlw and Steve Austin's.

Used to listen to don tony & Kevin castle but they are just annoying and complain about everything,

Thinking about spending $15 for premium access on mlw radio.

"Well done Lee Harvey, I believe you acted alone."

Surprised Cena wasn't called out on about this comment, especially when it's the 50th anniversary of JFK's death.

Not saying I'm upset by it, because I am not, I just noticed it right away and knew what he went :lol: .

I listen mostly to the MLW and Stone Cold podcast. Almost finished part 2 with Bruce Prichard. Love the stories that they tell. Sometimes listen to Cabana's podcast, which reminds me to dl the one where he interviews Austin.

Whats the name of the podcast that a Niketalker just started?
 
i listen to Art of Wrestling with Colt, Steve Austins,and the Attitude Era podcast (which is good for a nostalgia laugh)

i cant get into MLW
