Born Tonga 'Uli'uli Fifita on February 10th, 1959, Haku, is a retired professional wrestler born in Nukuʻalofa, the capital city to the Kingdom of Tonga. Haku also goes by the name Meng and is most notable for his wrestling career with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF)† where he would earn the moniker King and his time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as a member of the Dungeon of Doom stable and one half of a tag team with the Barbarian known as the Faces of Fear. A former champion in both the WWF and WCW, Haku is regarded as one of the toughest wrestlers in the history of the sport. † WWF would be renamed WWE in Spring of 2002.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
