And even his former tag team partner The Barbarian who looks like a machine himself admitted Haku is the baddest in his prime.(11-27-2022, 02:03 AM)Camaro Dude Wrote: Have you ever met Adrian Street by chance? Small in stature compared to the average wrestle, but could take most wrestlers in his day in a shoot match.
Or Haku/Ming? Alleged to be possibly the most legitimate tough wrestler ever. Probably would have done well in MMA.
Nope never met either but know of each of them respectively. Haku is supposedly a total machine and once bit a mans nose off!

My timeline would have been late 70s. Jose Lothario was our wrestling superhero. He teamed up with the younger Gino Hernandez (who I believe OD'ed eventually). Another good guy was Rocky Johnson (actual dad of the Rock Dwayne J). I remember all of them at some point playing the "heel" but it was the best when they were the good guys. Dad took us to live wrestling in Houston back in the day. Great memories. I think we had a vague understanding that it was all fake and just for fun but we played along and had a great time.

In my childhood house, Dad installed a combination of a radio and inside/outside speakerboxes (He had an audio-fanatic friend). We could/had to listen to radio everywhere. Dad loved the wrestling broadcasts. I remember "Bruno Samartino". Later, the station played fictitious boxing matches between Rocky Marciano and Cassius Clay (sp?) and others in a GOAT contest. No. I don't remember who won, but does anyone remember those things?I remember that computer bout between Marciano and Ali. I had to look it up because I didn't remember who won either. Apparently Ali won by a TKO, due to a cut on Marciano's eye. I'm old enough to remember not being able to look up stuff like that. LOL! I'm not even sure what to keyboard in Google. Do you remember who "won" the title?
Never try to catch a dropped kitchen knife!

And at some point Ali lost to Jim Jeffries, and ended up suing for defamation.(11-30-2022, 12:34 AM)Camaro Dude Wrote: I remember that computer bout between Marciano and Ali.
