    I never thought Meng / Haku would be so soft spoken. In a world of angry shoots, ribbing, burying, and bitter grudges, this guy sounds like the nicest most down to earth person.

      Everyone I’ve heard talk about him in podcasts and such said he’s the nicest guy you’d ever meet but you didn’t want to mess with him. Apparently he ripped a guy’s teeth out with his bare hands.

    Haku/King Tonga/ Meng was someone who should have had a fair shot at WWF/E Championship. He LITERALLY had all the "chops" to be WWF CHAMP. I think Stone Cold would have paused before stepping into the Ring with Haku if it was title-on -the line, neh?
    Haku could have wiped floor with McMichaels, dumped Goldust, and probably blown JBL's kneecaps far away into the Sun. He would have just shut Brock into a farther degree of unable to related to normal human beings and I distinctly remember Haku body-slamming Hulk Hogan choke-style on a wwf saturday morning G-show.

    Haku must be the real deal whenever wrestler says he is toughest ever in the business with names like Harley race ken patera, Kurt angle , Andre the Giant and Manny And so many more and when a giant fears you it might mean you a bad man but his snap kicks and he moved like a little man and you could just see the power in a ufc style tournament in the WWF I think final four Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Haku , Harley Race some may question Race young fans but think this he picked up a young Ricky Steamboat by one arm by his trunks from the floor of the arena and picked up and over the rope then when he was older managing a young Butch Reed picked a fight with him and they said every punch he landed you heard and it buckled Butch Reed and he kicked his ass another like Haku and with punching power he would stand a chance of course I am saying in the final four a young Harley Race k all fighters in their prime it would be a great final four me

    I saw a match from a nother state
    Same two wrestlers
    Similar cage
    Same choreography....

    The spirit world confirms that haku is the Egyptian God " amen." In human form in this life.
    That said"" " ancient christian texts quote jesus as saying " in the end of this life " generally speaking ""a god is nothing but a manifestation of the real GENITORS OF all life forces.
    Meaning my father jesus mother Sophia and the true parents of jesus and Sophia.
    In other words I
    Mean this.
    THE REAL GENITORS OF ALL LIFE FORCES STATE THROUGH NOSTRADAMUS THAT " I AM THE ACHILLES HEEL" TO ALL GODS AND GODDESSES PRESENTLY DWELLING ON EARTH IN HUMAN FORM.
    In other words.
    As well as IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
    OF THIS UNIVERSE PRESENTLY.
    Obviously.
    AS C5Q79 OF THE VATICINAL STATEMENTS OF MICHEL GASONAUY DECREE THROUGH CHRISTIANITYS SPIRIT OF PROPHESY.
    Likewise.
    And such information
    INCLUDES MY HALF BROTHER JEHOVAH.
    ALIAS GOLDBERG IN HUMAN FORM IN THIS LIFE.
    As all facts also verify presently regrding life as humans presently know life to be on this earth.
    WHAT SAYEST THoU " ON THAT INFORMATION I GIVE THEE HERE?
    MEIM?
    How am I doing on such notes?
    Thus far?
    Hmmnn?
    JUST CURIOUS.
    What sayest thou?
    On that note let's clarify a truth for mortals here and now.
    Can gods die while in human form on earth?
    Obviously.
    EVEN MY DIRECT FATHER JESUS CHRIST DIED WHILE HE WAS IN HUMAN FORM IN THIS FORMATION OF THIS EXISTENCE.
    AND JESUS RANKS ABOVE YOU IN AUTHORITY HAKU.
    THE TIME APPROACHES FOR RAGNAROK.
    CORRECT?
    HAKU?
    EXACTLY.
    EXACTLY.
    BEFORE A NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH APPEAR.
    Connected to revelation 21: 1 to 3.
    AT MY COMMAND.
    SOON.
    HAKU.
    ALIAS TRUE SOBRIQUET AMEN.
    SOON.
    As my words to humanity presently wholly prove.
    Here.
