King Haku... King Tonga... Haku. He's been called a lot of things, but no-one has ever doubted the toughness of this widely travelled veteran. Since making his wrestling debut in 1977 for All Japan, he's pretty much worked everywhere in the world, and his toughman reputation has preceded him everywhere. He made his WWF debut first time round in 1985, as King Tonga, and made himself famous in 1986 by winning the ,000 bodyslam challenge by slamming Big John Studd, and was rechristened Haku. During this spell, he teamed up with Rikishi's younger brother Sam Fatu (known as Tama or The Tonga Kid) to become part of The Islanders tag team, to little or no success. In the lead up to 1989's Royal Rumble, the then King of the WWF, Handsome Harley Race took some time off, and Bobby Heenan presented his stand-in, King Haku. Upon Harley's return, Haku wasn't keen to give up the monarchy, and they faced off at the 1989 Rumble for the title, which Haku won. Tagged up with Andre The Giant as The Colossal Connection and took the Tag Team Titles from Demolition in December 1989, holding them until Andre's final Wrestlemania appearance at Wrestlemania 6, where Demolition won them back, and Haku was instrumental in Andre's last face turn before his retiral. Haku left the WWF in 1991, although he did return for a one time only appearance in the 1992 Royal Rumble, and toured the world again. WCW came calling in 1994, and The Monster Meng was born. Originally tagging with his cousin, The Barbarian, as The Faces of Fear, he didn't really set the world on fire. Returned as a singles wrestler every so often to be pushed as unstoppable, for a couple of months before the new face in town would carve out the victory and make a name for himself. Meng returned to WCW full time in 2000, for the sole purpose of jobbing to Goldberg, it would seem, and then entered himself into the Hardcore title picture. Meng actually won the belt, and was the reigning Hardcore Champion at the time of his controversial jump back to the WWF. Haku is back, and his partnership with Rikishi looks strong. Briefly feuded with the Undertaker and Kane, but suffered when Rikishi went out injured for a while. The 23 year veteran will no doubt want to prove he still has a lot left to offer in today's WWF.
