      Like Geant Ferre, he will always be King Tonga... with Tarzan La botttine Tyler as his manager.

      if he walked in there, they'd all disintegrate into a pile of dust in about 3 seconds.... like that donovan guy in "last crusade" when he picks the wrong grail. ok, maybe 15 seconds.

    I have seen so many great matches between Dino and King Tonga for the International title. Once at the Montreal Forum for the christmas holidays it was jammed packed, I thought Dino would get back the title but no King Tonga defeated him with of course the help of his manager Tarzan Tyler. Great memories before WWE take over our wonderfull territory!

    the fact that he's alive and highly lucid and multilingual and looks good and sounds good pretty much proves that he was the toughest guy in the bunch. he and hogan are in a longevity race and I'm putting big money on Haku.

    The wrestler he was talking about who passed was Pierre Mad Dog Lefebvre and the one from Montreal who teamed with the Puerto Rican might have been Rocky Della Serra.

    There was a tag team of Rick Martel and Tom Zenk in International wrestling at about this time, it's where the Can Am Connection was formed although they didn't use that name yet.

    I think Dino Bravo being involved with the mafia is why you don’t hear about him too much in WWE. Had he not joined he’d probably be in the Hall Of Fame right now.

    Heard a story where he was in a bar/restaurant having a meal and minding his own business when a couple of guys came in and started messing with him and he didn't do anything but tried to leave and the guys followed him to his car still messing with him and he finally had enough and fought the two guys and supposedly breaking the ones jaw and the other was missing teeth. Can anyone verify this?

    • @jdbankshot
      @jdbankshot Рік тому

      umm... i say do some research, no offense at all. he "no-sold" being maced by cops, broke free from handcuffs, roughed up at least 8 of those same pork chops. (snuka once got "batoned" over his head, looked at the cop & said, "brudda, don't do that again".) haku also bit off the tip of some guy's nose that challenged him in a resto-bar. cops showed up, & haku says, while pointing at the floor, "there's his nose, over there." pre-pro wrestling, he sumo wrestled in japan. in montreal, back in the king tonga days, the mob apparently tried, & failed, to recruit him as an "enforcer". oh, & then there's jesse barr, aka, jimmy jack funk. he became 'one-eyed-jack', or jesse "barred of one eye" barr after pissing off haku. literally.

    i wish haku would have talked more about the dino bravo murder but he didnt want to. dino was in the mafia in that life its violence and treachery the only way out is in the ground or in prison. some mobsters leave the life and dont snitch or cooperate and do well for themself but the ones that snitch have to be protected by the witness protection program. like henry hill said that lifestyle is intoxicating.

    • @nicecutie
      @nicecutie 4 роки тому +2

      @fluke the stories i read and listened to is rick martel tried to get dino back into the wwe but vince said no. vince said dino does not fit into our plans anymore. martel said dino could not or would not work a regular job basically what im saying is bravo always wanted to be wealthy and not work some POS job. dino also told his close friends like bret hart that he knew his days were numbered because he crossed the mafia.
      some tv show should do a reenactment of the dino bravo murder.

      Why should he know anything about the murder? Ask him about wrestling the guy, sure. But they were just co-workers. It's not like there was a Wikipedia entry floating over Dino Bravo's head and a bunch of mob guys following him around the locker room.
