I would've loved to have seen Haku in an MMA environment in his prime. The UFC actually offered him a fight but he turned it down after Eric Bischoff talked him out of it.

I'd say the majority TBH the training alone would toughen most up substantially. I was going to say something along these lines. It's a misconception that only a small group of guys are really tough. I'd say a good 90% of wrestlers are legit tough in the sense that in a fight it'd be hard to hurt them because of all the abuse they take. It's like while people say Haku is a tough guy he isn't a "tough guy" you know.

No-one's mentioned Bart Gunn yet? He won a shoot competition against some of wrestling's supposed tough guys like Dr. Death, Bob Holly and JBL... Admittedly, it would have been better for his career if he hadn't, but still.

Who said Bam Bam Bigalow? Watch him get pounded in MMA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ovOibFqM6wI have never heard anything about him being a tough guy in the locker room. 100% tougher than the average guy in a pub of course (running through the burning building for example) but as for being legit tough, you have to listen to the stories about Meng throughout the years taking on groups of people at a time. My vote would go to Ken Shamrock however. In his prime that is.

- Jake Roberts: he was stiffed by Muhammed Ali and didn't fall down. - Mad Dog Vachon: in "Heenan/Cornette 2" Heenan tells a story about one time a fan tried to get smart with Mad Dog in a bar. Mad Dog charges at the fan and the fan side steps him, Mad Dog rams his head into a support beam splitting his head wide open. Mad Dog just turns around, looks at the blood in his hands and says "...now, we're going to have some fun" and proceeded to knock the guy 6 different shades of uncocnious. - Barbarians wife: There's a story about one time Barb was out drinking and the guy behind the bar told him it was last call but Barb ignored him. The guy try's to evict Barb but Barb smashes a beer bottle over his own head and goes nuts. The staff try to control him but they can't. The police get called in and try to control him but he refuses. One of the cops mases Barb and Barb just rubs the mase off his face and licks it. It took several police officers with tasers and batons to get Barb into the paddy wagon. The next morning here comes Barbs wife leaving the police station holding Barbs ear as he whimpers and apologises to her.

Chris Jericho. Come on, the guy literally kicked Goldberg's ass! He held his own against Goldberg, but he didn't "kick his ass" AFAIK. Goldberg was badmouthing Jericho who confronted him about it. A fight broke out and Jericho got Goldberg in a front face lock until the fight was broken up. Respect to an under 6 foot 220 lbs Jericho for being able to control a roided up freak like Goldjerk, but I'd not call it an "ass-kicking".

Dick the Bruiser heard Detroit Lions player Alex Karras (yes, the former voice of Monday Night Football & the dad from "Webster") was interested in wrestling while he was suspended for a year from the NFL in a gambling scandal that also busted Paul Hornung. Bruiser went into Karras' own bar and the two got into such a fight it injured a few cops and fans trying to break it up.
(Dick & Alex were once rivals on the football field, as Dick was a part-time player for the Packers in the early-50s. Add to it the bar fight, promoters in Detroit played this up and signed a match between the two, pushing it as a "shoot", but fans didn't really care and it drew poorly.)

Probably John Cena or Hulk Hogan. They are always able to bounce back after a beatdown.

My vote would go to Ken Shamrock however. In his prime that is. I wouldn't really put much weight on that video, considering I doubt Bam Bam had much in the way of MMA training before going in to face someone who did. Besides, I've seen top MMA guys get pounded, just like I've seen top boxers get dominated and knocked out early. It happens. As far as wrestlers talking about him being tough, I know Raven and DDP have talked about it, and Jim Cornette alluded to it.

Add to it the bar fight, promoters in Detroit played this up and signed a match between the two, pushing it as a "shoot", but fans didn't really care and it drew poorly.) Bobby Heenan talked about on one of the DVDs he did with Cornette. He said they were setting up the match, and were going to do the bar fight as the angle to build up to it. Alex Karras wanted to do the match, but he didn't want to do the angle. So Bruiser goes to the bar, they've got their "cops" there to break up the fight...and Alex doesn't show. So Bruiser gets mad, in part because he would have had the day off if not for this. When he came in, the bartender said, "Whatever you guys do, don't touch the TV." So when Alex doesn't show, Bruiser starts tearing the place up and smashes the TV. So the bartender calls the real cops, Bruiser gets into it with them and breaks one's arm. In the end they had the match and it didn't draw. I think that's how he said it went, anyway. It's been a while since I watched that DVD.

Andre gets no mention?
Heard a lot of stories about him. Onetime a couple of drunken morons tried to pick a fight with him in a bar, so he chased them out of there and into a car. He managed to turn the car over with them inside! The next morning the bar goers tried to tell the cops what happened, but they wouldn't believe a bunch of drunken guys having their car tipped over by a big pissed off Giant.
