Now its been said by Bobby Heenan that Andre the Giant feared only two men Harley Race and Haku. So based on nothing but rep who would you say is tougher?

Didn't Tonga pull a guys tongue out of his mouth in a fight. Or bite the guys nose off?

No disrespect to Harley who is a very tough individual but I'm always gonna pick Haku/Meng

"If I had a gun and was sitting inside a tank with one shell left and Meng is 300 yards away, he's mine, right? Well the first thing I'm going to do is jump out of the tank and shoot myself because I don't want to wound that son of a bitch and have him pissed off at me." - Jake Roberts

According to legend, Andre also backed down from Bad News Brown once.

What's funny is that Meng completely denies being tough and says that it's just something that wrestlers like to say. I don't know, maybe Harley denies it too.
It's hard for me to imagine Andre backing down from those guys when he could legit snap anyone like a twig.

Harley is going to see this thread and cry. Meng is going to give us all a good deal on a car.

Meng is a freaking badass. You wouldn't have to tell me twice not to f*** with him.

IMO, the guys who really downplay how tough they are, actually are pretty bad ass.

The answer is La Parka.
The answer is always La Parka.

I think "tougher" is up for grabs.
I think "meaner when pushed to be" goes to Haku in a landslide.

From what I've heard from other wrestlers talking about him... I can't help but the impression that Meng is an easy going guy but has little patience for anyone who tries to test him and if you piss the guy off you are pretty much f***ed.

I can't help but the impression that Meng is an easy going guy but has little patience for anyone who tries to test him and if you piss the guy off you are pretty much f***ed. I'm reminded of when Foley talked about Stan Hansen. Paraphrasing, but "Stan was a tough guy, and like most true tough guys, didn't feel the need to prove it", when he was talking about how kind Stan had been to him when he didn't really have to be. Some tough guys get drunk in bars and start shit, but often, tougher guys are the ones who head home to spend time with their family when they can, have a few jokes with the boys, and who will tear your world asunder if you cross them if it comes to that. They just don't have to feel validated all the time by stroking their ego. Also reminds me of when someone asked Lance Storm about wrestlers fighting, and why he said he'd prefer to fight Ken Shamrock over Haku, Regal, or some others, and his response being along the lines of "I'd rather get beat up than lose an eye, my nose, or my life."

According to legend, Andre also backed down from Bad News Brown once. Well, according to Bad News more so than legend, but I tend to believe him. Someone else who made Andre back down was Kamala. Granted, Kamala was carrying a gun at the time, but still. Anyway, using Bad News to get this back on track, Brown was on record saying Haku/Meng was the toughest guy he knew. Other people who have stated Meng is the toughest guy they know: Goldberg, Road Warrior Animal, Barbarian, Saturn, Arn Anderson and some guy named Harley Race. Along with the nose thing in the bar fight, Meng is also the reason Jimmy Jack Funk has a messed up eye.

Speaking of Haku, I wonder why they never him bring him back for any legend appearances, same with Akeem and Demolition. With so many 80's stars no longer with us, you'd think they'd be open to bring these guys back for old school raws or whatever.

There's still a lot of rawness between WWE and Demolition over the lawsuits, or at least with Bill Eadie. OMG/Akeem had a heart attack years ago, probably one of the reasons they don't bring him in. That said, I get what you're asking. There's a ton of guys from the 80s who didn't leave on the worst of terms and are memorable that just never get called back. Hell, when was the last time the Bushwackers made a cameo? Is Outback Jack still out there somewhere? Mantaur?
