I doubt they would, seriously the one word I hate (I'm sure all of us here do to) is that wrestling is 'fake'
As far as I'm concerned it's 'scripted' there's a big difference, I'd like to see people who say that wrestling's fake tell that to Haku/Meng or Big Van Vader.

Maybe they should whisper it into Mick Foley's ear... Oh, wait.

...what, you think they would beat someone up who said that? Because they fake-beat people up in wrestling matches?
The fact that you are bleeding their televised, character personas into how they act on a day-to-day basis implies that you could use some more reminding yourself that things are fake.

Don't put Vader next to Haku if your talking about toughness, there is a difference between being legit tough and being tough because young boys and jobbers let you beat them up.
Haku has gouged a man's eye out with his bare hands, bit off a dude's nose and threw a man out of a 2nd story window. Vader got punked out by Harley Race on a mobility scooter and cried about it. Yeah I know Harley is legit tough, but Vader still picked on and got knocked out by a 70 year old man on a scooter.

Because now I have this mental image of Harley rolling past Vader with his fist out, knocking him over, and he just keeps on going.

I could see Orndorf giving 0 damns and roughing up Vader.

Vader was the one whose eye came out in a Japanese match and he finished the match ?

Yeah, a misunderstanding occured between Stan Hansen (who was half blind at the best of times) as Vader thought Hansen had intentionally almost whipped him in the face. So come match time Vader roughed up Hansen, who did so in return, back and forth with both guys confused over why the other was doing it, until Hansen had enough and popped Big Van's eye out of its socket. They apologised & spoke about it after the match (or a few days later? Can't quite remember) and no bad blood exists... What an insane business wrestling is.

Not to mention, a big wrestler punched him and it hurt. He's flesh and bone, like anyone else, Haku included. As for Harley Race, Harley is a very tough, very intimidating man, but beyond that, it is pretty likely Vader wouldn't hit him out of respect.

Vader's always insisted that WWE told him to "intimidate" the host to sell the big match with Taker on the show. He then kind of went into business for himself, but that was why he was never fired for it.

Yes, that Weekly World News.

I HATE the word-but most people here don't care-it gets used a lot. I find it disrespectful personally, even though I'm not a wrestler.

I agree, people should try and tell Vader that wrestling is fake, I'm sure he'll inform them of the toll it has taken on his body and those of his friends in the business as he's supposedly a sensitive man when not playing the Vader character. Guy worked stiff because that's the style he was trained to work, not because he's a JBL/Bob Holly/Nasty Boys style jackass who thinks wresting is real or just likes taking potshots at people.
