So, I'm just wondering if anyone knows about these "crazy" stories about Haku. There were plenty of interviews I've seen, Off the Record and the like, with pro-wrestlers and I remember on more than one occasion they've mentioned things like "Oh, the stories I could tell you about Haku". But no one ever goes into them at all. Does he eat babies? Can he lift a pickup truck? Does he do a mean impression of Richard Nixon? There was one in Bret Hart's book that I read saying that during a scuffle, Haku had bit some dudes nose off, which sounds crazy. And I'm pretty sure I've read that he's one of the toughest guys in the history of the world. But does anyone know stories about Haku? I'd even accept made up ones frankly.

In an interview with Alex Marvez, he was asked about one of his legendary fights. Fifita states his favorite was one that cost him a lot of money. Fifita was drinking in the Baltimore Airport Hilton bar with Sivi Afi when five men started laughing at them and said, ‘You guys are the fake wrestlers on TV.’ In response Fifita replied, ‘I’ll just show you how fake it is,’ and he reached over and grabbed one man while three other men jumped on him. Fifita said he did not care. They were punching him left and right, but the man who he grabbed, he bit him on the nose and spat it out and started fighting the other ones. When the others saw him spit out their friends nose, they all ran out of there.

In 1987, Haku had a backstage fight with Jesse Barr (who wrestled at the WWF as Jimmy Jack Funk) which resulted in Meng gouging one of Barr's eyeballs out, causing Barr to later wear a glass eye. After this fight, Fifita had a reputation that steered wrestlers away from backstage confrontations.

I heard his poop is considered currency in some parts of the world.
He once ate a bear on a dare.
He grew a third arm & kept it in a vault.
He went deer hunting with Wahoo McDaniel once, but had no weapon. He found a 14 piont buck, jumped on it & strangled it. He made the deer say "Haku!" before he snapped it's neck.
He sweats pure grain alcohol.
His shadow weighs 22 lbs.
He can swallow lakes, gather all the fish he wants & then regurgitates the water again.
He once breast fed a baby flamingo back to health and released it into the wild.
He was the basis for the old Saturday Night Live skit "Bill Brasky!"

I don't know about anyone else, but from now on I'm screaming HAKU if anything goes my way. Or doesn't go my way. That makes for a fun curse word. Cut me off? "HAKU!!!" Stub my toe? "HAKU!!!" Gold I tells ya. |

I actually met Haku about 3-4 years ago, and he was one of the nicest people I've met...Barbarian on the other hand...well, he's just kinda greedy...

I could say "MENG!!!" That does have a nice ring to it as well. Oh, for Meng's sake! Not bad. Not bad at all.
And it sort of doesn't surprise me that he'd be one of the nicest people you've met. He looks it. Plus, if he's as crazy tough as they say he is, he's got no reason to be a dink. Unless you happen to be Jimmy Jack Funk or that dude with no nose. Barbarian being a wiener seems odd to me. And greedy? I could've sworn that he just worked for meat. Maybe someone didn't supply him with enough meat.

That could be possible... but when I met Barbarian, he had like various different promo pictures he was selling for like $5 bucks so I bought a Faces Of Fear WCW one, because it had Barbarian and Haku(Well, Meng) on it, and I knew I was going to met Haku later that day, so I bought that one from him for $5 bucks, but he wanted another $5 bucks to sign it. Which, I thought it was kinda greedy of him. After all, later that day I took the same picture to Haku who signed it for nothing... Barbarian also seemed that he didn't even want to talk to anyone and didn't want to be there, but Haku was very friendly.

Jake Roberts said in his shoot that Andre the Giant was the toughest guy in the locker room but outside of him, Haku was next. So in other words:
The Colossal Connection Rule!!

When I met him, he was really nice.. he just didn't seem to have an amazing grasp on the English language. But he roughed up Jimmy Jacobs real good, and that's all that matters! |

I can't remember where I read / heard, but I'm pretty sure I read that Andre loved Haku, best-buddy style. Which is awesome. I'd love to see the Adventures of Haku and Andre. In fact that gives me an idea... |

That rings a bell Andre being fond of Haku, Andre probably didn't want to find out if Haku was a wildman, so he kept him onside lol

Barbarian was really nice when I met him... But that seems to happen with some people. When some meet him, they're awesome, but when others do, they're not...
I wish I could meet Haku though.
