MrGrimgut the Funks brothers, the Youngblood’s among others were in the locker room and did not do anything, business as usual, the only one who stand up for Brody was Tony Atlas, sad but true.
Haku and Brody, two of the legit badass characters in the history of wrestling. What an honour it must have been for those rare audiences who watched them together in a ring.
Keep the Haku interviews coming!
Haku being utterly impressed by Brody says it all.. Brody was the toughest around

Haku would wreck him
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.

@@videolad3057 Are you serious? Over 3 decade career, was over as a monster as Haku and Meng, WWE thought enough of him to make him tag Champs with Andre when Andre couldn't even work...I could go on for a while.
Him and Undertaker seem to be the only guys that everyone has the same respect for. 99% of the people that are asked about them say nothing but good things.
The toughest guys for the most part are some of the nicest and quietest guys you ever want to meet they know they don't have to prove anything

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.
Meng spent time in WCW as a bodyguard for Col. Parker, then wrestled later in WCW.
He seems like such a nice guy. Listened to his interview on Talk is Jericho a couple of years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. He has the most infectious laugh I've ever heard. All that said, I wouldn't wanna make him mad!
What a sweetheart of a man that could absolutely rip your arms off. I love this guy.

Brodie swung that chain coming down the aisle. PEOPLE LEFT THEIR SEATS!!!! HILARIOUS!!!!
Brody and Hansen were tough but they were bullies. Everyone knows that bullies are never the toughest of the tough. It's the humble and quiet ones who are generally the most dangerous.

Nah - way too many rules.
When I was a kid I know this men by king Tonga !!!!
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.
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
A real bar fight between Haku and Brody would main event material.
King Tonga 🇹🇴 🔥🔥🔥
Search here for Bruiser Brody vs Prince Tonga
Anyone else remember the Time-limit draw between Haku and Shane Douglas?
Man, the memories of Brody being a one man wrecking crew was some of the best memories. If you wanted to see pretty boys in the WCW you cheered for the Von Erich's If you wanted to see the guy that clears stands with swinging a chain and being tough as anything on the planet, that was Brody. Gotta give a shout out to the 'Missing Link'. He is never talked about.
thank you Devon !
El kin jaku grandes encuentros en México buen luchador

Love the bullet club jacket!
thats great he mentioned the original sheik!!!
God damn HIS FUCKING HANDS, HE'S A GRIZZLY BEAR WITH GLASSES Also looks like the nicest guy you'll ever meet in your life, impossible not to like him. Just became a fan of his pretty quickly. You can tell he comes from rugby. Played rugby many years and you see a lot of those types of good guys that are pretty tough.
A legend
Love Haku one tuff guy. What a steet fighter don't know why people would pick on Haku.
Hansen and Brody!!
Brody Hansen two icons of wrestling around the world !!
His hands are something else !
Haku era conocido en Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 como kintonga
RIP FRANK
As a Maori Man, I remember the men that Haku spoke about. Like Abullah the Iron Sheik , Rick Martell, The Lulu a 7 foot monster.
I thought that was a mini coffee...but its just Hakus giant hands!

Hawk was a wannabe tough Juice Mutt Racist , 2 Cold Scorpio Beat the Shit out of him in 1995 Korea , 1992 John Parrella beat the face paint off his Racist face at a Tokyo night club 3am when the WWF were in town , Hawk called a Nebraska Football Player David White a bunch of Racist names and tried to jump him when he got knocked out stiff ..
I'm not ashamed to say I'd run from this dude.
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.

Haku could snap kick a front kick like a little guy just as fast but at 300 pounds and his hands. If you ever being around fighters you can tell those who can use his hands , his feet knees basically I think early UFC he couldve done good very good
If Haku says someone is tough you better fucking believe it
king tonga
The original Klingon!
What the hell? I thought Haku was dead after all these years.
If Haku says Brody was tough….then Brody was tough…enough said.
I love the Japanese culture.
I miss the days when Frankie Williams used to get his ass kicked in the ring all the time by Frank the Bruiser Brody when I was a kid during WWF
