Like the previous entry, Meng (Haku) shakes off a Million Dollar elbow from Dusty Rhodes. Dusty then picks up a wooden chair and shatters the seat over Meng’s head. Meng doesn’t react in the least.
Heenan and Bockwinkle were a fantastic pairing. The wise-cracking Weasel and the rich, intellectual Champion were perfect together. The Heenan Family was a great vehicle for both Heenan and his charges.
He was before my time, but I love his style and I love that a gay Jewish man in the '70s had the balls to call himself “the Grand Wizard” as a way of mocking the KKK.
More commentator these days. He made several tag teams into major stars managing them directly and setting up rivalries with other tag teams. He was active in matches to, not just standing outside the ring and shouting, he was often up on the ring apron and taking bumps.
Much like the Grand Wizard, I love his fashion sense (and his dance moves), he works as a heel or face, and I like how he works his real ancestry (he’s descended from an Ashanti prince) into his persona.
He was a genuine manager and did all the paperwork and travel bookings for his guys. He was active for a few decades by portraying that sneaky varmint presence at ringside, always plotting and scheming, and he put his talent over like a master.
…the Mouth of the South! The Man You Love To Hate! Manager of everyone from Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage to Bret Hart and the Honky Tonk Man, and always looking oh-so-punchable!
She had some great runs working with Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, and Harlem Heat, among others.

Meng/Hauku
Stories about Haku are legendary. Bobby Heenan told a story about Haku getting into bar fights and pulling someone’s eye out. Allegedly, bookers in WCW would be wary of asking him to put someone over.
One time protege of Dusty Rhodes, he had no special martial arts skills outside wrestling but he was fast, strong, aggressive, and known for knocking people out if he got pissed off.
