10 HUGE Backstage Fights That Happened After Wrestling Matches

10. Haku Vs. Brutus Beefcake - 1986

Throughout the history of the wrestling business, there have been a number a fearsome real-life tough guys. Not one of them, however, can come close to touching the legendary Haku.

If you find yourself with a spare five minutes, you could do far worse than Googling “Haku tough guy” and diving into the array of anecdotes and stories based around how he isn’t somebody who you want to get on the wrong side of. Unfortunately for Brutus Beefcake, he did exactly that back in the ‘80s.

As one half of The Dream Team with Greg Valentine, Beefcake was unhappy after a match against The Islanders – Haku and Tama – and promptly complained to management. Brother Bruti’s beef was that Haku had been too rough with him during the match.

Hearing that Beefcake had taken a shot at him, Haku promptly went and found a butt-naked Brutus Beefcake in the showers. As Haku grabbed Brutus by the throat and lifted him off the ground, the locker room rushed to break up the altercation - yet not one of them could get Haku to let go of Beefcake.

In the end, according to Tama, it took the combined efforts of himself and Vince McMahon to finally get Haku to calm down.
