Style: "Martial Arts" Before he went into pro wrestling, the man who would become Meng lived in Japan making a living as a sumo wrestler. He also maintains a sterling reputation as a real-life tough guy, impervious to most forms of physical damage. All that is well and good, but this article isnt concerned with real-life martial arts prowess so much as showy pro-wrestling ballyhoo. And Meng has a ninth-degree black belt in pro wrestling ballyhoo. You see, with pretty much everyone else on this list, there was a specific style they were supposed to be mimicking. If not, maybe they would wear a gi thats associated with a specific style, or at least have their moves described as karate kicks or whatever. Not so for Meng, who basically had theatrical knife-edge chops described as generic martial arts strikes by everyone from Jim Ross to Mike Tenay. He even finished his opponents with FORBIDDEN NERVE HOLDS like the Tongan Death Grip and the Asiatic Spike. I think Mengs martial arts training came from an ad in a comic book.
