Haku and Booker T for sure. Rick Rude and Bad News Brown should be in there too. Honorable mention to Bruiser Brody, Rick Steiner, Billy Gun and Billy Jack Haines.
Were you there during the fight? How do you know if Booker T 'beat' Batista's ass outside of 2nd hand information. Getting the better of someone in an exchange is 'beating someone's ass'. At least to people who have actually been in a fight before.
@stormybass Not defensive. I just think that pussies that have never been in a real fight should comment on a supposed fight that no one talking about it saw. I realize guys like you can't fight for shit and probably should never talk about it.
Drunk 'tough' is being an aggressive drunk, which is totally different to a controlled aggression sober tough. William Regal, Wade Barret, Fit Finlay, Dave Taylor would come into that category.
When they went to Iraq for Tribute for the Troops, JBL was being a dickhead to Joey Styles. So Joey Styles clocked him and KOed him. That shut JBL up and Vince loved it
1;52 when he's asked about how tough is The Barbarian, it's the wrong Barbarian he's responding to. The John he keeps reiterating is John Nord, who went by Nord the Barbarian. But the interviewer IMHO is asking him about The Barbarian Sione Vailahi. Anybody else notice?
I'm think he was calling Sione John because early on he was known as Tonga John. He did mention his wife's name Seini and brought up the Crockett Cup incident as well. The two are still very good friends to this day.
I was a year or two younger when I played HS Football for SJHS when Manny played fullback for the Lincoln Lions Football team ( our rivals) he was a tough SOB back then and as much as I would have like to have played against him, think I was lucky not to have.....
NimNum Pretty much everyone would say Haku but they didn't fight so we wouldn't truly know. In a fight anything can happen and I wouldn't sleep on Terry. He is my all-time favorite though.
No! He was talking about ''The Barbarian"" Sione Vailahi. ''John'' is the translation of ''Sione'' in English ''The meaning of Sione is "God is gracious". Its origin is "Samoan variant of the English name John". Sione is a form of John and is generally pronounced like "see OH neh". www.ebabynames.com/#!meaning-of-Sione
@@harrygreb3457 He was also "Nord the Barbarian" at one time also. I thought he was talking about John Nord at first until he got the whole Samoan/Tongan thing mixed up.
C'mon Manny! You're going to say Smothers isn't tough but JBL is? I've heard many people talk about how tough Smothers was, and never heard anyone talk about JBL being tough, not to mention he got his ass kicked a few times.
Blake Martin People who know better can. You don't ever sleep on someone cuz they're little. That's a good way to get yourself n your pride fucked up bad.
Styles never "kicked his ass", JBL was being drunk and belligerent, Styles had enough and punched him. He only got away with it because everyone knew JBL was in the wrong, and the next day when JBL had sobered up, he was too embarrassed to confront Styles and accepted he'd been a dick. Props to Styles for standing up for himself, but he didn't kick JBL's ass.
The Raging Bull had some great promos too especially with Rick RUDE and Manny you were a badass too bruh so put yourself in that league cause it's true I remember from Mid Atlantic
Well i wonder too,cause he call him "john" when asked about barbarian (john nord-nord the barbarian) but then talked about tonga and samoan...a bit confusing lol
oh i heard alot that he must be extreme...really extreme strong.some wrestlers mention him as the strongest dude they know.steiners did not want to fuck around with him backstage....even not 2 vs 1
Simmons and Barbarian would be a draw. As much of a badass that Frank Goodish was there's no way that he could handle Haku in any legit shoot fighting situation.
Bruiser Brody was a bully and bullies are never the toughest men. It's the humble, quiet, and polite badasses like Haku and Barbarian who are the toughest. Real badasses never need to show that they're tough.
Harley Race manhandled them all. Further stan hansen, Blackjack Mulligan, Dick Slater, Dick Murdoch, Paul Orndorff, dr death, ted dibiase, bruiser brody, sid justice, andre the giant, s.steiner, Bob Roop, bob orton, larry the ax henning, kurt henning, barry windham, the mounty, Hawk, lesnar, Smothers, undertaker, john studd, john nord, rick rude, Nikolai Volkoff, vader, orndorf, davey boy smith, etc. There were others too.
Manny could put on a show. He bladed pretty much every night if the week for the greater part of a decade. His feuds with McDaniel all over the world are legend. He's a guy who isn't gonna hold back from pointing a finger and that's what kept him from emerging as a huge superstar. He was intense, good in the ring and brought it every night. One of the forgotten guys in the business when you talk about the ones who kept the trail blazing all over the country in the 70s and 80s.
There are religious scam artist but there is nothing wrong with taking up an offering. First of all regular church offerings are free will. Secondly how do people expect the church's mortgage, light, water and other things such as events and giving to the community to take place if you don't take up an offering. The bible also says that we should tithe / give 10 percent of what we earn. There are separate offerings for the pastors anniversary, birthday and etc. True believers understand these things. I'm aware that there are some scammers in the house of God but a lot of people don't have a clue about religion or serving God. I'm a fan of Manny Fernandez and pro wrestling especially the old school days but some of these people are lost when it comes to religion. I have flaws no man is perfect and that is why God allowed Jesus to die for us all.
Titus Mangum amen. Yet....i hear NO ONE REFUTING OR REBUKING THIS MAN ABOUT SAYING: "you can't be Born Again!" The Lord Jesus Christ said that we can...and WE SHOULD: "Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God"
Interesting fact about the origin and meaning of ''Sione'' : Its origin is "Samoan variant of the English name John". Manny Fernandez was talking about ''The Barbarian'' Sione Vailahi and not John Nord aka Nord The Barbarian
FrAn6-1987 Sione is actually Tongan, it's from when the Christian missionaries came to convert the Pacific islands and Tonga was the first island they arrived at. That's why samoans call methodists Loku Koga which translates to Tongan church..facts
I got to this video from a Stevie Ray vid where at the end you hype us to vote up the vid so you're ranked higher than lesser podcasts lol. Check your ego man your shoots are o-k nothing special don't try and believe your own hype before you even have any.
@6:00 minutes in the video Manny Fernández says: "You can't be Born Again!" The Lord Jesus Christ said: "ye must be Born Again to enter the Kingdom of Heaven" Wow. Manny Fernandez is a "false prophet"... As he himself warns hypocritically, to "watch out for false prophets".. Pray for this man. Oh Lord God may You have mercy on this man and save his soul in the mighty name of Jesus Christ i pray. Amen and amen.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I didn't hear him mention Haku ONCE. He talked about The Barbarian, Tracy Smothers, Billy Jack Haynes, the Booker T/Batista fight, Nikita Koloff, Bobby Duncum Jr, etc. But I didn't hear Haku/Meng's name come up at all.

David Batista found out how tough Booker T. was...he's a product of 3rd Ward Texas.. South Park to be precise.
Ozzie Edwards but other people & Finlay says Batista beat the hell out of Booker T. Its on RUclips
Robin Morino So there's 2 sides to that story. Some other wrestler said that Booker T beat his ass....I guess it was who's side they were on.
Robin Morino Funny thing is Finlay the WWE employee is the only one who said that. Everyone else who's spoke on it says otherwise.
Ozzie Edwards yep. In texas, youll learn to fight.
Robin Morino nah. Batista barely beat up a fat, out of shape guy in an mma match.
Heres the thing Manny... The Barbarian isnt Samoan he is Tongan. I love that man like any of my uncles of the Fatus and the Anoais. Love him and Haku
Tongan is samoan 🤣🤣🤣
@@jayredstone107 nope, both Polynesian, but two different cultures and peoples.
@@nuttybangerz makes no sense
@@jayredstone107you can't be this stupid lol..get a map and look, Samoa and Tonga are two different countries in the south pacific
Barbarian and Meng are not Samoan. They are Tongan
okay?
Okay what? The dude kept calling them Samoan. They're Tongan. Not that complicated.
it's all the same shit..
AgonyShorts Try telling them that. It's really, really not.
Michael Jenkins
They used to be 1 country like 500 years ago.
Meng ain't Samoan, he's Tongan, but the island fellas are all pretty brutal when pushed. And as Corny said, "don't piss off the island boys"
@Jerome OfThaAlphaKingz I think that may be a bit of an over-simplification but they are very closely connected ethnically and politically
@Jerome OfThaAlphaKingz they’re definitely about their business, that’s for damn sure
manny seems much higher on himself than others do
He's a bullshiter
He’s always been full of himself.
his reaction to the very first question is fantastic
way to answer your question if Smothers is a badass or not lol
smothers probably had a bunch of pills and drugs in his bag, that's why he freaked out
exactly what I thought
Comrade Trump gourmet jellybean's
99% of the wrestlers had the same thing in their bag lol
🤣🤣🤣
Haku and Booker T for sure. Rick Rude and Bad News Brown should be in there too. Honorable mention to Bruiser Brody, Rick Steiner, Billy Gun and Billy Jack Haines.
Don't forget Harley Race!
Do not forget Wahoo, Dick Slater and Paul Orndrof.
Billy Robinson
Ron Simmons
Why booker t?
Booker T beat batista's ass when he stepped... haku/meng was legit tough.... Even Andre the Giant feared him.....
Were you there during the fight? How do you know if Booker T 'beat' Batista's ass outside of 2nd hand information. Getting the better of someone in an exchange is 'beating someone's ass'. At least to people who have actually been in a fight before.

Barbarian is Tongan not Samoan.
Samoans are our brothers though.
Drunk 'tough' is being an aggressive drunk, which is totally different to a controlled aggression sober tough. William Regal, Wade Barret, Fit Finlay, Dave Taylor would come into that category.
He kept saying he loves those Samoans when talking about Barbarian but Barbarian is Tongan lol
Wasn't it Joey Styles who punched out JBL?!
yes lmao yes it was :)
When did this happend ?
2006-2007 i believe
When they went to Iraq for Tribute for the Troops, JBL was being a dickhead to Joey Styles. So Joey Styles clocked him and KOed him. That shut JBL up and Vince loved it
Joey Styles is smaller than JBL, good for him,............
i love Manny's laugh
He is tongan
In real life, Manny was a tough guy.
Surprised he didn't mention Rude. They were a tag team at one point
Any conversation of bad asses without mentioning Danny Hodge is incomplete. A legit shooter.
JS1966 Totally agreed. I've been saying this for years. If anyone (including Haku) took Danny for granted I believe he would be in for a big surprise.
Harlem Heat were legit tough guys.
Manny looks like hell.Damn
1;52 when he's asked about how tough is The Barbarian, it's the wrong Barbarian he's responding to. The John he keeps reiterating is John Nord, who went by Nord the Barbarian. But the interviewer IMHO is asking him about The Barbarian Sione Vailahi. Anybody else notice?

Sione is a Samoan variant of the English name John
thanks for clearing that up guys.
@@BeardedMikeG John in Samoan is Ioane..But John in Tongan is Sione..At these days there's a few Sione's names in Samoa...Cheers
oh, thanks for pointing that out
Manny looks good!
" I love that John " Lol
he kept it real with that convo
Fernandez babbles a lot and is hard to understand.
Haku isnt human. Pain means nothing to him.
Pain feels Haku
At first I thought he was confusing Meng with Barbarian but the name of the guy in the story's wife sounds more like Barbarian's wife.
Tonga John is barbarian, seini is his wife.
Yes he is telling the truth and he is one of the roughest wrestler.
The tonga guys are way tougher than the samoan sorry dwayne
Manny "The Truth" Fernandez
😅😂
I was a year or two younger when I played HS Football for SJHS when Manny played fullback for the Lincoln Lions Football team ( our rivals) he was a tough SOB back then and as much as I would have like to have played against him, think I was lucky not to have.....
Manny was a tough guy. But he realized when he was outmatched.
Andre didn’t fear anyone, but he did respect Haku.
You ever wonder if Manny met any tougher guys in Vietnam?
I got see Manny way back in n.w.a.was tag team champs with Rick rude came out signed autographs..man that was cool before show
Who is the toughest: Haku or Terry Gordy ???
NimNum Pretty much everyone would say Haku but they didn't fight so we wouldn't truly know. In a fight anything can happen and I wouldn't sleep on Terry. He is my all-time favorite though.
Haku #TONGA
Haku no doubt
Unsung tough guys are Ick Rude and Manny Fernandez.
He was talking first about John Nord.
that's what I thought too
Yeah the interviewer was talking about the WWF Barbarian but Manny thought he meant John Nord who went by that name early in his career.
No! He was talking about ''The Barbarian"" Sione Vailahi.
''John'' is the translation of ''Sione'' in English
''The meaning of Sione is "God is gracious".
Its origin is "Samoan variant of the English name John".
Sione is a form of John and is generally pronounced like "see OH neh".
www.ebabynames.com/#!meaning-of-Sione
I don’t think so because I’m pretty sure John nords name was the brzerker right? Or am I missing something?
@@harrygreb3457 He was also "Nord the Barbarian" at one time also. I thought he was talking about John Nord at first until he got the whole Samoan/Tongan thing mixed up.
Manny is legit
Whose name did he say at 5:25?
Infinite Triclops Bobby Duncan Jr
C'mon Manny! You're going to say Smothers isn't tough but JBL is? I've heard many people talk about how tough Smothers was, and never heard anyone talk about JBL being tough, not to mention he got his ass kicked a few times.
Blake Martin Even tough guys get their ass kicked a few times. There's always someone a little badder.
tehfawkinman Yeah but Joey Styles kicked his ass. Can't give him a pass on that.
Blake Martin People who know better can. You don't ever sleep on someone cuz they're little. That's a good way to get yourself n your pride fucked up bad.
tehfawkinman I agree, small guys can be tough, but if you asked Joey Styles he would tell you he isn't a tough guy.
Styles never "kicked his ass", JBL was being drunk and belligerent, Styles had enough and punched him. He only got away with it because everyone knew JBL was in the wrong, and the next day when JBL had sobered up, he was too embarrassed to confront Styles and accepted he'd been a dick.
Props to Styles for standing up for himself, but he didn't kick JBL's ass.
The Raging Bull had some great promos too especially with Rick RUDE and Manny you were a badass too bruh so put yourself in that league cause it's true I remember from Mid Atlantic
"The Raging Bull " legitimately one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid.
1. prime Alexander Karelin, he would have beating the shit out of everyone
Yup. Or Fedor Emelianenko 2005-2010. Would destroy them all. Brock Lesnar now would whip them all too.
@@TheGrandmaster1 you don't mess with haku!
Manny tells the cold hard truth don't grab the bull by the horns
It's like I'm watching Shoenice.😒
This man lies as naturally as breathing.
Ron Simmons
Meng. Barbarian
Booker T Scott Steiner
Rick Rude
that's the list
Wait a minute... When the hell did he mention Haku? I must've missed it somehow...
And Meng could beat ALLLLLLLL of them.
...with ridiculous ease too.
meng is the barbarian
+BB taylor no hes not. barbarian is mengs tag partner. ffs.
+BB taylor this guy is getting the two of them mixed up.
I don't know if he is talking about Nord the Barbarian or the other Barbarian
he is talking about The Barbarian and his tag team partner Meng/Haku... Faces of Fear
Yes, he was talking about (The Barbarian) Sione Vailahi
Well i wonder too,cause he call him "john" when asked about barbarian (john nord-nord the barbarian) but then talked about tonga and samoan...a bit confusing lol
Only thing tougher than a Tongan or Samoan man is a Tongan or Samoan women lol
100% true
Was Manny a ranger right , he was speacial forces or not he was vietnam vet
I would definitely add Manny Fernandez to the list of false prophets... Stone thrower delux.
Buckyrhino yup. Exactly. He said "you can't be Born Again!" God will definitely judge him.
Pray for his soul..
who would win? Ron simmons vs the barbarian...and bruiser brody vs haku? real life fight
not easy...but i would say simmons and haku
oh i heard alot that he must be extreme...really extreme strong.some wrestlers mention him as the strongest dude they know.steiners did not want to fuck around with him backstage....even not 2 vs 1
If the Steiners are afraid of someone, I'm pretty sure such person would be a bonafide badass. That's Ron Simmons.
Simmons and Barbarian would be a draw. As much of a badass that Frank Goodish was there's no way that he could handle Haku in any legit shoot fighting situation.
Bruiser Brody was a bully and bullies are never the toughest men. It's the humble, quiet, and polite badasses like Haku and Barbarian who are the toughest. Real badasses never need to show that they're tough.
Love manny for calling out the work that is organised religion.
Bobby Duncum Jr.
Mr. Manny straight up that is cool
Pro wrestler talking about how God is fake
I actually used to talk to Manny on Facebook. really nice guy.
I've had that issue with women but never middle aged wrestlers. is it bad that I'm slightly jealous?
Michael Doonan not at all dude, it just means you are a true wrastlin fan!
Not being in "Over the Top" is probably a good thing.
finlay was friends with Batista but by all accounts booker t beat him up so much so they cooled on Batista's push
It depends on who tells the story on who won. Booker was the one with his eye swollen shut.
*****
If you watch Legends with JBL they show both of them post fight. Bautista's face was scratched up and Book's eye was swollen shut.
batista sucker punched him only punch he threw
duwax Yeah, I don't put much stock in pictures. They may say a thousand words, but the people who were there can tell the whole story.
dr death!!💀
Why does every story this guy tell always return back to him? What an egotistical nobody. This guy didn't draw a dime in the wrestling business
Neither did a lot of legendary wrestlers. He's telling HIS stories.
Because they asked him about HIS stories!

he didn't manhandle BRUNO SAMMARTINO.
MrMferg240 True.
one tough sob
John daly?
Haku is meng
Shelton Benjamin is overlooked in these conversations.
You are joking, right?
Samoans paved the way it didn't matter what poly came after they are Samoans in everyone's eyes.
Very true bro were all samoan there
Fernandez hung the born-again on the hook of their greed. Way to go Manny.
Tongan. Not Samoan.
Love you too Manny!!!
Hmmmmmm Ted Debiase!!
Nikolai Volkoff talked about knocking The Raging Bull out in an interview.
He got mad when he heard him lol
fake navy seal , god dude. his name didn't show up on the navy seal buds classes
Manny who?
ok booker t
Manny was an anchor baby
Manny could put on a show. He bladed pretty much every night if the week for the greater part of a decade. His feuds with McDaniel all over the world are legend.

He’s a fake Navy SEAL , lied about his service in Vietnam 👎🏽. Stayed in the ring way too long past his prime .
Excessive hubris seem to me folks
Minoru Suzuki
can never tell the truth
Didn't Smothers get mad about the Blue Meanie incident and lay into JBL pretty good at One Night Stand? So how is JBL tough and Smothers isn't?
I think this guy definitely misjudged Tracy Smothers!
He called The Barbarian 'John'. The Barbarian's name is Sione. Really, Manny??
Sione is John in English

Is Manny mixing up guys here?! Barbarian = John = John Nord aka the Berzerker. Not a Samoan (or Tongan) like the other Barbarian who is not John.
Barbarian also went by the name John Tonga
Ah, I see. Thank you.
I think john is an English variant on sione his tongan name
Manny was a beast
That 1st laugh made me want to watch the whole thing.. The laugh was superb.
Who else laughed for no reason except at the first reaction.
what? it was fake as fuck.. why r some people that clueless?
This guy is trying to make Haku look weak 😂 True comedian 😂
They meng is not somaian , but isnt he related to the Rock ? So he must have some blood
would lenny mclean beat him,yes he will.

Here is Meng/Haku : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonga_Fifita
JayTheAdviceGuy the Barbarian is not meng . the Barbarian is from powers of pain
The toughest? Kazushi Sakuraba. He would destroy all of them.
Do not speak ill of the dead Manny Tracy was a nice guy always had a smile on his face.........And Barb and Haku are Tongan
Shelton Benjamin
So many wrestlers pushing the agenda... Showing the real world behind the curtain. Everyone get accustomed to it, we are in for some changes.
