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 ❤❤❤
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
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 👍
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.
It probably would never happen because both of them are too humble
RIP Kevin!
Barbarian is afraid of Haku. Haku is afraid of Barbarian. But as the story goes both absolutely fear their wives
We need a WSI with Haku! The ultimate legend. Please make it happen! 🙏
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.
Ludvig Borga knocked his ass out in Japan.
@@Anuskasv0really?
I heard he was a beast too
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.
Haku badass 💯 and RIP Kevin Sullivan
18:33 "20 cans of mace right into his face" gotta love the tall tales from wrestling carnies
I read this comment as it was being said I the video haha. Weird day.
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
Haku once ate a corndog with ketchup. What a sick minded badass
Oh thats nothing! He once walked a dog!!
@@ChannelEleven59 🙂
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.
It's one thing for the non-mma trained shoot fighters to say Meng/Haku, but when the mma/shoot fighters say Meng/Haku, that says a lot!
The best compilation you could have made.
Superman thought that only kryptonite could hurt him...until he pissed off Haku
Haku is like a living Chuck Norris joke
Except that Chucky never met Haku in a dark Alley...😂
Great video ! Id love to see one of Iron Sheik stories. 😂
It amazes me how these wrestlers remember towns, states and bar names.
If you get on Haku’s bad side he’s a dangerous man
Such a same (for us fans) that Haku turned down the UFC.
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)
Whatculture Wrestling fears Haku
Haku for WWE HoF next year, calling it now.
He will be introduced by Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa.
Love for the Polynesians
Tongans!
It is hilarious how many wrestler road stories start out with or include ‘we were in a bar and…’ 😂😂😂
RIP Sid
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...
It would be good if james managed to get one of hakus victims with a nose missing on for an interview😂
Haku , Meng is a legit badass and a very cool dude
Nice clip, James!
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.
I'm even afraid to leave a bad comment about Haku on RUclips 😮
Huku was one most toughest wrestlers someone nobody messed with
Haku is going straight to heaven because the Devil 😈 is scared of him!!!
@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....
Those drunk rednecks put the fear of God into Cornette, and he’s an atheist. For Haku….just another Tuesday.
Haku beats brock in any style of combat. Legit or street fight haku is taking the W
In real life, he is one of the nicest people.
If UFC was around during Haku heyday the octagon wouldve looked like a mortal kombat brutality was just performed
Haku is so scary Chuck Norris would hesitate to fight him
Good ol Dutch mantell... love dutch...
so all these wrestlers telling stories about how the Road Warriors would no sell eye rakes and Meng actually no sells an accental shoot eye gouge?
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
I don't want to hear any more garbage about Haku being a wonderful guy with a heart of gold. I've thought for a while, how can you be a super scary looking and huge guy with a heart of gold but keep finding yourself in brutal fights everywhere you go? I understand there's the occasional tough guy who targets scary looking guys to try to build a reputation, but it seems like he had more problems than one would expect from that aspect alone. And we get a clue from the one guy's story; Meng sees a guy across the bar and, for no apparent reason, he walks over to a guy and bites his nose off. He should have been locked up for a very long time for that stunt. It sounds like the man is a crazy psychopath. Even if the bar guy was an asshole and Meng spied him doing some act of assholery, bite his nose off? really?
Yeah, I agree. I dare say he was a nice guy if you knew him & didnt cross him but it didnt seem to take much to make him go wild. We never hear what this guy (who had nis nose bitten off) is supposed to have done to warrant it. Probably because if we did hear, it would be so relatively minor & make Haku look like an out of control savage.
I think he partly gets excused because he's Samoan & subconsciously people hold them to a different/lower standard of behaviour. I mean, if an American were behaving like this, everybody would say "he was a nice guy but had a screw loose".
I interviewed Chuck Norris and its confirmed, Chuck Norris fears Haku and so do I.
“If wrestling was real, Haku would have all the belts”
- Randy Savage
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.
Cool idea. I believe in 1993, he was wrestling again as King Haku down in Mexico for CMLL.
@@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.
Kevin Sullivan was a wrestling genius 🎉
Haku vs Brock Lesnar
If Cain valasquez beat up Brock, haiku would handle Brock like a chicken wing
@@JasonRogerson-gs8jpCain Velasquez would smash Haku too, he was a UFC World Heavyweight Champion for a reason.
@@kevthegoat8774 There's a huge difference between controlled fights with rules, and a street fight with none
Haku would destroy Brock
@@theyamo7219 Lesnar would grapple, lift & takedown Haku then submit him. Possibly break a bone
YES, the stories are TRUE
Haku or Harley Race?
Wow. Maybe Haku with different talents like kicks etc. but def two tough guys and great guys; Haku and Barbarian.
Now it makes sense why you ask some of the same questions every interview
Haku/Meng. THE toughest.
NEVER headbutt a Samoan.
RIP Kevin Sullivan
Brock Lesnar would destroy Meng/Haku.
Who’s this “Ming”? They speak of. HAKU would dominate him.
Jk. Aprils fools. I know.
@@ordinarypeteremember you are dealing with wrestling fans. They will believe anything 😮
Great stories
But wait, i would love to know what law in Louisiana that says you need to buy beer from a bar. Houma is only 120min from New Orleans. Where there and in Houma and surrounding parishes you can buy beer, alcohol and a daiquiri through a drive-thru store. I mean ever bar or restaurants will give you a to go cup for your beer or alcoholic beverage.
Trust me down the bayou (Houma, La) i don't think there was such a law. In Louisiana you can buy beer, alcohol from any convenient store or gas station.
Trust me many many years ago when i went to spring break in Florida I learned that alcohol and beer are sold separately.
Now probably happened in parishes in North Louisiana
I really thought that said HawkTuah
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.
Brock, Fedor and Karolin vs Haku….at the same time?
Sounds like it’d be a good match TBH.
Prime Fedor would easily beat Haku.
Has Perry saturn had a stroke?
Yeah, Perry not looking good there. The man has had a hard life though. That takes a toll.
But could he really take prime Andre? Mark Henry?
Yes and yes!
I'd pick haku's Crazy over andre and Henry's raw strength any day.
Haku would obliterate Andre and Henry in a legitimate fight back in hakus prime
The only guy that even comes close to him is his fellow Tongan, Barbarian.
It was said in wrestling circles that Andre feared two men: Haku and Harley Race
Toughest pro wrestler ever was sakuraba, fought mma fighters on short notice and actually beat a few gracies.
Meng/Haku really is tired of hearing this crap. I'm not making this up. He's really disgusted with it.
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
Most of these stories 💯 could not happen today! The cops would just un alive him now a days!
Enough with the Haku BS tough guy stories. They're like the Andre drinking stories. It's total BS.
Nice piece of work
❤
funny how the nicest guys bar and haku are the toughest
Barb sounds like he has it right. If it's two men enter, one man leaves - Haku. If it a contest with rules that prohibit causing permanent damage - Brock.
Must if these stories 💯 could not happen today! The cops would just un alive him now a days!
Do we really have to censor the word 'badass"?
really??
If you had road rage and out of the other car is Haku, what would you do?
If you didn't know him, he'd introduce himself to you in his unique way.
You drive in the opposite direction…..fast…..even if it’s a one way road….still safer option.
Apologize for him cutting me off

He's got some room to talk as goofy lookin as he was. Smfh
I read his name as Hawk Tuah lmao
Why would anyone. Wanna try a 300 pound plus. Island boy. Is beyond me 👋🤣
I went to school with two brothers from one of those islands near New Zealand. They moved to Kentucky of all places and joined our high school football team and they were both unstoppable despite having never played American football before they moved to the States. Great guys but it went without saying that you didn't mess with them OR their Mom. And it wasn't just because they would defend their mom , she was equally intimidating and strong. Nicest people you could meet but they really seemed like you could have hit them in the head with a baseball bat and it wouldn't have phased them. I was glad they were on my team. I used to genuinely feel sorry for the opposing players who had to try to get through Kiko , the older of the two , to get our quarterback. We called him the Eraser , like Anthony Munoz was called , because whoever was on Kiko could be disregarded . His ' little ' brother was equally effective as a running back. Once he got momentum you could not stop him .
His name is HAKU... not meng.

According to pro wrestlers Haku could take prime Brock Lesnar, Fedor Emelianenko and Aleksandr Karelin all at the same time because they saw him beat up drunk cowboys at some hick bar
Yeah Ming was obviously insanely tough guy but people acting like they know actually HOW tough he is based on the stories on him beating up drunks and civilians is silly. Need to remember that the old wrestlers who talk about Ming are still part of the old carny generation of self -promoting liars as well so everything is inflated like their billed heights and weights.
Go look up the video of Roger Huerta who is a small 155lb mma fighter KOing a college linebacker in seconds in a street fight. Point is there are tons of stories out there and video evidence in this case from people just annihilating civilians as well.
Ming obviously a nightmare for people to deal with but Lesnar would also cave your face in within secs as well at some bar. Here's the difference. Lesnar doesnt hang out at bars and if he did no one would mess with him whereas Haku spent years on the road at bars and people loved to mess with him because of how he looked and he was very deceptive in how tough and big he was(he has insanely thick frame for his size like his wrists and fingers) so there are just countless stories of him just dunking on drunk civilians.
