    Say this about Haku. When I was watching him in the 80's WWF, I was like, he's tough, but big deal. Now, the more I hear how tough he really is, and how seriously respectful and kind he is, I am a huge fan of his...much respect.

      Perry Saturn was once asked him, haku, barbarian,Goldberg,the Steiner bros,Kevin Nash and Scott hall in the locker room,a fight breaks out who wins
      And Perry replied before the guy had even finished the question
      "Haku,and I don't mean he'd just win,I mean he would kill all of us in under a minute and there would be nothing any of us could do to stop him.... barbarian might NOT die,but the rest of us he'd just straight up kill"
      That's a fucking endorsement right there, apparently he was the only man Harley race was ever afraid to fuck with.

      I thought both WWF and WCW majorly dropped the ball with Meng and Barbarian. A monster tag team if pushed right could have been monster heels that the fans would gradually turn babyface. How nobody thought to use their legendary feats outside the ring to build them up is beyond me.

    Been following THE HANNIBAL TV for for some time now and I'm quite sure many of Devon's faithful know how much of a presence Bruiser Brody had in shaping The Death Dealer's Persona, especially the interview with Frank Goodish's wife Barbara which was quite emotional. Japan was ideal for the likes of Brody and Hansen and Vader and The Funks and so many after them too. Dick Beyer aka The Destroyer absolutely opened many doors in The Orient for later American Wrestlers. Wondering if Haku ever entertained a Book? Would be some serious reading!! Cheers From Ohio

Gotta give a shout out to the 'Missing Link'. He is never talked about.

    Brodie and Abdullah both were big time over in Japan. During all of their matches they always made sure to focus a lot of their attention on Japanese reporters so that they could get good pictures and stuff. When brodie died, Japan invited his wife and young son and they gave him huge honors and treated his family like they would have him. Thats amazing considering Brodie wasn't Japanese. In some ways I think being a star in Japan in wrestling was better than being one here in the states. Hats off to Japanese wrestling promotions and wrestling fans.

    He was in the AWA for a short time, known As Prince Tonga. Gagne would import such great talent and draw huge crowds. It was Brody, Masked Superstar and Tonga against The High Flyers and Jerry Blackwell. Tongas last AWA Chicago match saw him and Kendo Nagasaki lose to The High Flyers. Totally wasted Tongas potential. But we continued to have Baron Von Rashke shoved down our throats. Gagne outdrew McMahon in 84 and 85, but he misused talent. He imported great talent for a short time, only to use them to get over talent the fans were sick of for years. He had Flair on a show and put him against an aged Billy Robinson, who spent so much of his time as a below mid carder at this point. He'd get the talent and sold out crowds, but the great talent never returned. Eventually, his AWA fizzled down the toilet wrapped in shit.
