Tonga Fifita, aka the "Haku/King Haku" in WWE or "Meng" in WCW, was known as one of the toughest professional wrestlers both inside and outside of the ring.

Many WWE superstars have told stories about the big Tongan Haku destroying people both backstage and in bar fights. One of the most famous fights occurred at a hotel bar at the Baltimore Airport in March 1989.

Haku and some fellow wrestlers were drinking at the hotel bar when a group of five guys started to throw insults in their direction. One of the guys approached Haku and started asking him if he was “one of those fake wrestlers?”. Like many WWE superstars, Haku does not appreciate it when people describe professional wrestling as ‘fake’.

As the story goes Haku bit the guy's nose (nearly off), knocked him out then proceeded to beat up his four friends while the rest of the bar looked on. This explains why WWE Hall of Farmer Bobby Heenan referred to Haku as the toughest man he had ever seen.
