Well, let me tell ya ’bout this fella Tonga ‘Uli’uli Fifita, or as some folks might know him, Meng, or Haku. Now, he’s a wrestler, but not just any ol’ wrestler. This man, he’s got a history that stretches across many a wrestling ring, from the big stages of WCW to the well-known World Wrestling Federation, what folks like to call the WWF. His story’s one that ain’t just about the muscles and the fights, but about respect and the bonds he’s made along the way.
Now, this Tonga ‘Uli’uli Fifita, he hails from a place called Tonga. You might not know much about it, but it’s far out there in the Pacific, somewhere close to the islands. He was born on February 10th, 1959. That’s quite a while ago, ain’t it? But lemme tell ya, he’s been in the wrestling biz for a long time. He’s not one of them young buck wrestlers like the ones you see today, but he’s been around, and people still remember him fondly.
When he first came into the wrestling world, he went by the name King Tonga, you see. He wasn’t no slouch. He came in strong, with a presence that made folks pay attention. Later on, he switched things up and started calling himself King Haku, and then just plain ol’ Haku. And let me tell ya, when he was Haku, he was as tough as nails! The man could fight like no other. He was big, powerful, and folks just knew not to mess with him.
Now, I know you might be wonderin’ why he’s so well-known, especially if you ain’t too much into the wrestling business. Well, I reckon it’s because he’s got a big name in there, and even people like The Rock—yes, the very same man who’s made a name for himself in Hollywood—calls him Uncle Tonga. Now, they ain’t related by blood, mind ya, but The Rock has always had a special bond with Haku. Some say it’s like family. And in the world of wrestling, that respect means a lot. The Rock, well, he thinks the world of Haku.
But Haku’s not just a big name ’cause of his connection to famous folks. He’s been a tough competitor all his life. You ever heard of WCW? Well, after leaving the WWF, Haku made his way to WCW, where he wrestled under the name Meng. That’s where he really got a reputation for being one of the hardest men around. He became a bodyguard, y’know, for a man named Colonel Rob Parker. Now, it ain’t no easy job being a bodyguard, especially when you’re protecting someone in the rough world of wrestling.
Oh, and I reckon you should know this, Haku had his share of big matches too. He fought in some pretty high-profile bouts, including one against the Ultimate Warrior after WrestleMania. Now, he didn’t win that one, but don’t think for a second that he didn’t give it his all. Haku’s the kind of guy who doesn’t quit, even if the match don’t go his way. His strength, his tenacity—they ain’t something you can just overlook.
But wrestling ain’t the only thing that makes Haku a legend. The man has a family too. He married a lady by the name of Dorothy Koloamatangi back on June 16, 1977. Now, they have two kids, a daughter and a son. But it don’t stop there. They also legally adopted two sons, so Haku’s family is a big one. They might not all be his biological kids, but I reckon they’re all his kids, and that means something special.
One thing that always stands out when folks talk about Haku is how much respect he gets from other wrestlers. People in the business, they know what he’s been through and the work he’s put in. They talk about his toughness, but they also talk about his kindness. He’s not just a brute force in the ring, he’s a man with a heart, too. And that, my friend, is what makes Haku stand out even after all these years.
So, when you hear the name Haku, know that it’s not just a wrestler. It’s a man who’s earned his place in wrestling history. A man who’s been through the wars and come out the other side with a legacy that’ll last for years to come. Whether he’s in the ring as King Tonga, Meng, or just Haku, he’s always been a force to be reckoned with. And that, my friend, is the story of Haku—a true legend in the wrestling world.
