Haku the Tongan Warrior at UK Rampage
Few names throughout WWE history have been more closely associated with intimidation and toughness than Haku.
Hailing from Tonga, Haku was one of the pioneering Pacific legends who paved the way for their Poly brothers to take up the mantle of wrestling. His unbridled intensity and brutal tactics made him a fearsome force in both WWE and WCW in the 1980s and ’90s.
