Tonga Fifita—also known as King Haku or just Haku—is no joke. He was one of the toughest to ever step foot inside a WWE ring. He also bit the nose off a man who called wrestling fake, so he's not to be played with outside of the ring either. But Tonga is also a charitable family man, which is something his nephew Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can attest to.
The Rock's story of rising from being dead broke and becoming a superstar is no secret. He retold part of it on Instagram when he shared that he bought Tonga a new truck. The post showed the two posing with the truck, an old picture of The Rock wrestling in tight purple trunks, and Tonga in his intimidating prime.
There's a lot of stunting and aggression here, but there's an emotional story behind it. Gather 'round:
I get a call from WWE saying "Vince McMahon wants to see you wrestle immediately. He's flying you to RAW tomorrow and you'll have a tryout match." I thought holy shit that's awesome, buuuut there's a few problems: For me, I wasn't just having "a tryout match", because I had never actually HAD a real match in my life. Ever.
