Polynesians are huge, powerful badasses. I remember that guy as King Tonga, though.

Remember Haku/Meng? He seems to be widely regarded as the scariest motherfucker on earth outside of the ring:

Fifita (Haku) made a name for himself outside the ring as the toughest wrestler of his era and is known for allegedly biting off noses, and knocking people out with one punch, slap, or headbutt. Though he had an easygoing, friendly personality outside of wrestling, he had very little tolerance for people who tested him. Even renowned hardman Bad News Brown said in interviews that Fifita was without a doubt the most vigorous. Bill Goldberg has also called him the toughest man he’s been in the ring with. His one time manager, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan said in a shoot interview that Haku was “the toughest man I’ve ever met in my life.” In 1987, Haku had a backstage fight with Jesse Barr (who wrestled at the WWF as Jimmy Jack Funk) which allegedly resulted in Fifita gouging one of Barr’s eyeballs out, causing Barr to later wear a glass eye. After this fight, Fifita had a reputation that steered wrestlers away from backstage confrontations.
In the book Arn Anderson: 4 Ever, Arn Anderson cites an event where Fifita pushed a cowboy through two sets of doors with one hand – and a conversation with The Barbarian about who was tougher. The Barbarian just shook his head when Anderson asked who would win in a fight between him and Fifita and stated “Meng’s the man.”
He also had an altercation with Brutus Beefcake after Beefcake complained to WWF management that Tonga slapped him too hard during a match. After WWF management informed Tonga, he immediately went to the locker room and grabbed Beefcake out of the shower, and began choking him, lifting him two feet off the floor. Other wrestlers were hesitant to break it up, so finally Hulk Hogan (who Tonga respected) was called in and was able to calm Tonga down.

I could get AWA wrestling at my grandfather’s house. He had the cable. He was always watching wrestling. But not quite that far back. He didn’t get cable till I was 12 or something.
I only remember Adonis in drag.

Adrian Adonis got arrested
was Dirty Dick Murdock egging him on? Or was he in drag?

This was during his AWA days when he was half of the East West Connection with Jesse the Body.

Duggan got arrested for weed in his hometown (not actually glenfalls new york I don’t think, some shitty suburb of it) during a weekend honoring his father (who was the chief of police) in the early nineties.

The most unbelievable part of this story is that Glen Falls NY has suburbs.

blame the canadians too. when wrestling started being televised all the time, and they would have a show from canada, they would cheer only for canadian wrestlers, face or heel.

F them and their beady little eyes and floppy heads.

there may have not been a heel more hated than Sgt Slaughter. I mean, little kids grew up knowing him from GI Joe, then they turn on wrestling and he is siding with Hussein. No better way to get heat from the crowd.
