10 Wrestlers You Won't Believe Are Still Wrestling

5. The Faces Of Fear (Haku & The Barbarian)

It's well known amongst wrestling circles that Haku is invincible. Utterly impervious to pain, with a body like a gnarled old tree, the Tongan hardman refuses to stop wrestling. It's possible no-one dares ask him to.

And why should they? He might be 61, but he can inspire fear in the hearts of all and sundry just as much as he ever could. And not just wiry local talent in ill-fitting parachute pants, but some of the industry's great and good; he teamed with his sons Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, as well as their Bullet Club pals Chase Owens and Yujiro Takahashi in New Japan just two years ago, chasing off the not inconsiderable threat of CHAOS.

Haku's similarly nodose buddy The Barbarian is likewise immortal, and the two toughnuts can often be seen loosening bladders in tandem. The Faces of Fear's most recent reign of terror came this February, a Midwest All-Star Wrestling victory over The Rising in the brilliantly named town of Turtle Lake, Wisconsin. This is a pair of sexagenarians for whom SAGA is unnecessary.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
