Which made Koji Kitao trying to shoot on Tenta even dumber in retrospect. If Stu Hart of all people says you were tough, then I would never in my right or even wrong mind think of fucking with you.
@@jrichard88 Yeah to be fair though Kitao wasn't no punk, he was an accomplished sumo but messed it up for himself and could move for his size, I believe he had some training from Thesz too who Stu spoke highly of (Although Lou didn't think much of Stu) I know Nathan Jones said his fight with Kitao was a work but I believe that's him trying to save his rep like Bam Bam Bigelow.
@@jrichard88 there's a clip of Kitao trying to shoot on Haku in a pro wrestling match, and Haku knocks him unconscious in less than 10 seconds. On the other hand, Earthquake was too slow moving to be able to dominate Kitao in a fight because Kitao was not only a higher ranked sumo wrestler but also a Karate black belt.
Bullshit! I’d take Harley Race over Tenta and the Steiners any day! And Haku vs Harley in a street fight would have been an awesome street fight! I don’t understand why Harley doesn’t get more respect, the guy was triple tough. Bobby Heenan even said that Andre the Giant said the only two that had a chance against him were Haku and Harley Race enough said!
Some complete fools on Reddit the other day tried to say all the Haku talk was just myths and lies. Multiple people witnessed him bite a guy's nose off. I rest my case.
Demolition said "Rick Rude" was a pitbull and a force to be reckoned with. I've heard many stories of Rick Rude kicking people's asses, including Ultimate Warrior and other top wrestlers.
Can't be mean with the dates, but fudging a year or two, from that era one could have; Roddy, Orndorf, Dynamite, Hawk and Macho versus Haku, Barb, Rude, Bad News and Quake.
Harley does get respect most guys all say how tough and how much of a badass he was. Haku though is usually said to be #1 though just a notch above Harley.
Haku was a legit badass. The only one who could've possibly taken him in a legit fight, would be "Bad News" Brown(I know he wrestled under other names, but I remember him from his WWF days.
Bret mentioned in his book that Stu believed the four toughest guys of the 80's were Haku, John Tenta and The Steiners.

What about Rick rude bruiser Brody or barbarian
Haku looks awesome in this pic
Yea he looks like 20ish and that stare looks like he wants to stab the camera man as a warning for no more pics
Look at that 'fro, it's wonderful!
If Stu says he’s tough you know he’s tough
Seems to be pretty universally thought by guys in the business that Haku was NOT to be messed with.
Ghosts and demons sit around campires and tell Haku stories.
😂😂😂hahaha!! Yes they do! 👌😂😂😂
Consensus is Haku is the legit toughest!!!

Paddy the baddy from Liverpool getting his inspiration
Was the toughest no doubt at all in my opinion
I really hope they make a movie about him. Like “The Wrestler” but better
IN REALITY, the 4 toughest of the 80's: Haku, Andre, Tenta, Harley Race.
Haku, Hawk, Dynamite, Dr Schultz.
Demolition said "Rick Rude" was a pitbull and a force to be reckoned with. I've heard many stories of Rick Rude kicking people's asses, including Ultimate Warrior and other top wrestlers.
My vote for toughest legit Survivor Series foursome would be Haku, Barbarian, Earthquake and Dino Bravo.

Don't remember Haku ever in stampede.
Harley Race dose not get the respect that he should just blows my mind.

@@xhuntarianx also once again
Harley carrier a gun around a lot back then
Harley gets respect he was known as a badass
what he's everyone's number 2 or 3
Haku had ultimate warrior taking a snapmare for him, that’s enough proof he’s the toughest.
Haku was a legit badass. The only one who could've possibly taken him in a legit fight, would be "Bad News" Brown(I know he wrestled under other names, but I remember him from his WWF days.
watch the clip on my channel where Bad News Brown says that Haku was undoubtedly the toughest among all.
@@chaoticdays if bad news brown said that then truthly is Haku.Bad news is badass judoka
Haku would have killed bad news no disrespect to him but he would have stood no chance
Bad News said Haku would have killed him
Bad News didn’t say that about many people
@@chaoticdays Didnt Bad News once challenge Andre to a fight after Andre used a slur? And Andre backed down?
Who wins in a street fight between Haku and Lou Thez?
