20 Most Infamous Real Life Wrestling Fights Of All Time

11. Brutus Beefcake Vs. Haku (1989)

WWE

It's no secret that Brutus Beefcake made a career riding the coattails of his far more famous best friend Hulk Hogan, which for a while granted him top billing in the WWF as Hogan'€™s tag partner. Beefcake believed his status as Hulk's number one lackey made him immune to locker room incidents, but the rules did not apply when it came to legendary hard-man Haku.

Following a bout with the intimidating Tongan native, Beefcake went crying to management that Haku had slapped him too hard during the match. When Haku found out that Beefcake had tried to sell him down the river, he snapped. In the zone, Haku marched into the dressing room where he found Beefcake taking a shower. Not even waiting for him to finish, Haku grabbed Beefcake by the throat and pushed him into a wall, lifting him clean off the ground with one hand and choking him out.

None of the boys who witnessed it dared do a thing to help because they were all so terrified of Haku and his mighty reputation. Hogan caught sight of the incident and desperately tried to calm Haku down, eventually talking him into letting Beefcake go. Suffice to say, Haku was never punished for the incident and Beefcake never bad-mouthed him to anyone again.

Winner: Haku. The answer is ALWAYS Haku
