Following news that Paul Heyman is being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame class of 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation on who else will be joining him. And while it isn’t officially confirmed yet, during the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, it was noted that it is rumored that one of the legitimate toughest men in wrestling history, Haku, is set to finally be inducted.
65-year-old Haku, real name Tonga ʻUliʻuli Fifita, broke into the business in 1978 and traveled the globe making his name before getting his chance in WWE in late 1984. From there, he initially formed a tag team with The Tonga Kid before being rechristened King Haku and given the opportunity to work with star names like Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage.
However, Haku never established himself as a true main eventer and would eventually depart the company to work in Japan and Mexico before joining WCW and wrestling as Meng. Yet, he would get to have one final short run in WWE in 2001 after WCW failed to realize he was a free agent, and he shockingly switched promotions while still technically WCW Hardcore Champion.
