10 Wrestling Stories That Prove Haku Was Badass
1. The Baltimore Airport Barroom Brawl (Haku)
As previously mentioned, telling Haku that what he does for a living is fake is a major berserk button that you simply do not want to push. From all accounts, including his own, he sees the business primarily as a means to support his family rather than to gain fame and fortune, which is why he takes particular offense when somebody tells him that what he does for a living isn't real.
In an interview with World Wrestling Insanity, Haku recounted an incident much like a number of the other barroom brawls on this list. The only difference here is that this one came straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak. A couple of patrons decided to get lippy while Haku was enjoying a drink with Siva, who he had teamed with as part of The Islanders. Haku took offense and, as he puts it:
I reached over without thinking - there are four other guys there. I grabbed his face, and bit his nose off. Then the fight started. Me and Siva kind of cleaned house there and left. I'll never forget it.
It takes a special kind of viciousness to tear a man's nose of his off but, despite these stories, Haku also has a reputation as a devoted family man who commanded respect but was also liberal with his friendship.
Just don't pi** him off.
