Names like Haku and Barbarian always come up when it comes to the toughest wrestler. Manny Fernandez talks about them as well as other wrestlers you might not have thought of. Remember "Raging Bull" Manny Fernandez has wrestled almost everywhere since 1979, including NWA, AWA, CWA, NJPW, Puerto Rico, GWF and is considered to be one of the baddest men to ever lace a pair of boots. We don't know too many guys who have had more bar room brawls than the Raging Bull! Now hear from Manny as he lists guys like Booker T, Barbarian, Haku (Meng), Billy Jack Haynes and more! Great stories and insight for the true old school wrestling fan. Hope you enjoy this Title Match Wrestling exclusive.

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.

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.

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.
