What they need is a podcast. I think they'd A LOT of viewers. Because i'm quite sure both of them have stories we've never heard before. Whether in the ring competing or outside of it.
This is the definition of a TRUE tough guy because a real tough guys doesn't go around starting fights. They don't feel a need to prove how tough they are. In my personal experience, the nicest people have the worst tempers. They let things go and go until they HAVE to react, and then , boom! It's like a volcano erupting.🌋
He would have been absolutely annihilated within a minute. Him beating some drunk people in bar fights is not the same as going up against a professional combat athlete.
@@randomlyfactual1943 Olympic judo medalist Bad News Brown has said Haku was the toughest without a doubt, and MMA legend Don Frye has called Haku scary and frightening. Who are you? President of the arm chair fight club?
My dad always used to tell me a story of Haku wrestling back here in Puerto Rico and witnessing him tearing off a wooden light post with his bare hands. Guy was a total badass
@8:33 The Late Prince of Darkness, Kevin Sullivan: "We're in Houma, Louisiana.." Me: *Thinks back to all the Cornette stories of Houma, Louisiana...* ...... Oh Fuck....... people gon' die....
Haku never pulled out Farrin "Jimmy Jack Funk" Barr's eye out. Barr said that he had gotten a bit out of hand, so Haku pinned him against a wall, and held his fingers in front of Barr's eyes. Barr got the hint, apologized, and was a good boy for the rest of the time they worked together. Barr was the owner of the construction company that my brother worked for, for a few years. Someone saw the altercation, blew it out of proportion, and ended up adding to the legend that is Haku.
I was a teen in Puerto Rico, he was “King Tonga” then. Fighting the likes of Dutch and Pierre Martell, Bruiser Brody, Abdulla, Tony Atlas, Ric Flair… I shook his MITT, because this guy did not had hands, he had MITTS, second only to Andre’s I think.
Haku had the look that said “ don’t mess around “. DONT let Perry Saturn fool you , I’ve heard some guys who I believe are some of the toughest and each guy mentions Saturn as on of the toughest guys in the biz.
Well considering 99.9% of the time their are no rules when a bar fight breaks out. It's certainly safe to say that Haku would be winning that one. Considering how dirty he can get with biting etc...
Haku started with Judo karate from a young age back on the Island. He got taken by Japan to do Sumo wrestling because of his physical size, and that's where he got his strength be his background was Judo and Karate.
KING TONGA!!! his time in montreal was great, managed by tarzan tyler, feuding with dino bravo, teaming with the masked superstar, awesome memories!!! i hope that there's no actual st. peter at the pearly gates, because when haku dies at age 120, ol pete might eat a foot or get his throat crushed.... or lose an eye & half his nose. all those chuck norris jokes should be about haku.
it says something that these legends are saying this about him. i mean, its not unusual for wrestlers to embellish or straight up lie about themselves and their deeds, (looking at you, hogan) but when you got everyone saying this shit about one man and the man himself doesn't say shit about himself, then you know there is at least some truth to it.
Haku should have been Jerry Lawler's replacement for the match against the Hart Family at that Survivor Series (1994 I think?). Don't get me wrong, HBK was great in that match, and their eventual feud was pretty epic. It just didn't make any sense for HBK to be leading a team of multicoloured knights. Here's how I would have booked it. Step 1) Find stock footage of a skier having a really bad fall down a mountain. Step 2) Have Jerry Lawler dress up like the skier and shoot a promo for Survivor Series at a ski resort, and have him ski away from the interviewer at the end of the promo. Step 3) Shoot footage of Jerry Lawler at the ski lodge being loaded into the back of an ambulance, selling his leg big time. Step 4) Edit those three shots together so that it looks like Jerry Lawler broke his leg skiing down a mountain. Step 5) Have Jerry Lawler come out on Monday Night Raw in a wheelchair, with his leg in a cast from ankle to hip, and announce that due to his leg injury, he won't be able to take part in the Survivor Series match against the Hart Family. Then he announces his replacement, King Haku, "Because it takes a king to know a king." Haku probably would have been able to do it as well, because according to my research he was wrestling in Japan at the time. Both New Japan and All Japan Pro Wrestling were known to lend their talent to the (then) WWF from time to time.
@@Meng4Now Certainly makes more sense than making HBK team captain and then shooting a bunch of vignettes to make it seem like he was the captain all along. As if us fans wouldn't remember that the whole reason behind the match was Jerry Lawler constantly making fun of Stu and Helen Hart.
@@randomlyfactual1943 Shawn is the more charismatic wrestler, for sure, but the whole point of having masked wrestlers called "Knight's" as his partners was that they were supposed to be following a "King". Shawn's a great wrestler, but he's not a king. He's never even been a participant in the King of the Ring tournament. In fact, I don't think that the King of the Ring tournament was a thing yet (that or the only winner so far has been Bret Hart). Maybe if they had done a bit where Jerry Lawler knighted Shawn Michaels, that might have worked? At least it would be a knight leading a team of knights into the match. But I think it would have worked better if a king lead his knights into the match. And without Jerry Lawler, that leaves Bret Hart, Haku, "Macho King" Randy Savage , "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, and Harley Race (at least at that point in time of WWF's history with "Kings Of Wrestling"). The Hitman was the main babyface of the company at that time, and captain of the opposing team.The Macho Man had jumped ship to WCW. Harley Race was retired from the ring and acting as Vader's manager in WCW. Duggan was still very much a babyface, still years off from Shitstain trying to turn him heel and join Team Canada in WCW, and as King he was a "man of the people". Which pretty much just leaves Haku, who I believe was wrestling in Japan at the time, so coming back to America for just one match was still a possibility.
I'll never understand why anyone looks at Haku and says I can take him. I don't care how drunk I am, I am not messing with that man. And it's crazy when you hear that he's the nicest guy. Lol
Both Haku and Ekkie (Umaga) are two of my favorite talents of all time. One Samoan the other Tongan. They don't get any tougher folks then those island boys. But the irony in saying that is. They would give you the shirt off their backs if you were a close friend in need. Just truly wonderful people outside of this business. I had Haku on one of the indy shows i was working a long while back doing promotional marketing for. And he was such a gentlemen in every sense of the word. The key is respect you show them respect they show it back to you in spades. You disrespect or mock their craft and livelihood. Well then your up shits creek with only a fork for a paddle...(g)
Haku is like a 300 Bruce Lee monster who doesn't feel any pain. Scott Norton who's badass in his own rite said he accidentally poked Haku in the eye Haku didn't even feel it he didn't even whipe his eye or nothing... What do you do to a man who doesn't feel pain at all 😳🤯 what you do is don't piss him off...😂
My favorite will always be Bobby Heenan's story about Haku putting his hand on a guy's mouth and ripping off his front teeth, Bobby said "I wouldn't believe it if I haven't seen it myself"
JAMES - we need confirmation on the Jimmy jack funk story. Find Jimmy jack or someone who was actually there. Could be an amazing interview since jimmy jack funk was also art barrs brother
Rest easy Taskmaster. I met him 7 years ago at a convention and invited him and his wife for some po boys next to the venue. They were super friendly and could tell they enjoyed each others company. I hope she is doing well duing this time
All these big, tough men talking about how bad ass Haku is. I can't imagine how out of control my ego would be if that was me, and there's Haku sitting quietly.
I wouldn't even write or post a comment saying anything bad about Meng....in case he found me 😅😅.... joking aside the dude should of had a title run, esp in WCW when you think who carried the belt in 99 to the end of WCW....Meng could wrestle,had the look,image was badass,was legit tough, shame it never happened.
Let me tell you something about Haku I know he's one of the nicest person you ever met but if you ever tried to bully Haku it would be a big mistake toughest ever
U know Haku is a badass when all these mega ego steroided muscle headed maniacs bow to him. Don't get it twisted, entertainment wrestling is tough. So it's no disrespect to these guys.
Haku stories are pure gold. Even though we've probably heard them all, they never get old.
I've heard them all and every time I hear them over, it's like hearing them for the first time
ABSOLUTELY ❤❤❤
Didn’t beat the shit out of a bunch of bikers in a bar ?
When are you getting haku on the show. I would love to see that episode.
He's had The Barbarian on. Only a matter of time, I hope.
I clicked on this video because I value my life and didn't want to upset Haku.
I liked this comment because I value my life and don't want to pay attention. 😮
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice choice. It's nice to see people that not only say they value their life but actually show it
Barbarian is afraid of Haku. Haku is afraid of Barbarian. But as the story goes both absolutely fear their wives
Don’t forget Hercules
Happy wife happy life lmao.
@@jeffrichards1537more like no wife, happy life
Of course they fear their wives. Their wives can take away everything they ever worked for a leave them on the streets.
Haku and Barbarian should have a documentary done on them or a reality show.
A sitcom, like Grumpy old men. Cranky Ole Tongans.
@@Halbared 😂😂‼️ yeah 👍

We need a WSI with Haku! The ultimate legend. Please make it happen! 🙏
RIP Kevin!
For Scott Norton to complement how tough you are speaks volumes. He was known for being a pretty tough SOB himself.
It's same if you've watched the Rick Steiner interview where he talks about Haku, not being the guy to mess with
Man Scott Norton was one of my childhood favs.

“If wrestling was real, Haku would have all the belts”

Superman thought that only kryptonite could hurt him...until he pissed off Haku
Great video ! Id love to see one of Iron Sheik stories. 😂
Absolute sweetheart of a guy. Like most island folk, they are teddy bears who become Grizzlies when the situation calls for it.
“Sweetheart if a guys” don’t get into 100s of incidents.

Except that Chucky never met Haku in a dark Alley...😂
If he did MMA he would be unstoppable especially when in his prime years .
Not necessarily, I could see him getting stopped or tapped out but he'd beat a lot of guys as well.
He would have been absolutely annihilated within a minute.

Absolutely. I saw an interview on Don Frye here on YT who said that Haku was a scary person ! 😳
Before there was MMA these tough dudes wrestled
Toughest guy in wrestling?
Wrestlers: haku
Haku: barbarian.
I think that is a testimony to him being a badmothafucka. Humblenes and humility are normally personality traits of the baddest men you will ever meet
It amazes me how these wrestlers remember towns, states and bar names.
