Hey, guys! Long time no see. Today I wanna talk about something different, let’s dive into the world of wrestling. Specifically, I want to share my experience following and learning about a wrestler named Meng.
So, first thing I did was look him up online, you know, just to get the basics. Turns out, this guy, Meng, is a pretty big deal in the wrestling world. I found out that he is a Chinese wrestler. His full name is Meng Lingzhe.
Next, I dug a little deeper. I watched some of his matches from last year, especially the 2023 World Wrestling Championships. He didn’t take home the bronze, lost to some dude named Abdellatif Mohamed, but, man, he fought hard. Then I saw that he faced off against Romas Fridrikas from Lithuania and won! That win secured him a spot in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. How cool is that?
But it wasn’t just about recent stuff. I started exploring his whole career, going way back. Did you know he used to be a Tag Team Champion with Andre The Giant? And get this – he won the King of the Ring in 1988! Back then, he went by the name King Haku. I watched some of his older matches too. He had a feud with Sting, which was pretty intense. They faced each other at events like the Great American Bash and Bash at the Beach. Sadly, it seems like his career took a bit of a downturn after that.
- Diving into Meng’s Past:
- Teamed up with Andre The Giant and became a Tag Team Champion.
- Won the King of the Ring in 1988 as King Haku.
- Had a big rivalry with Sting, with matches at Great American Bash and Bash at the Beach.
Then I found out that his first-ever wrestling championship was the NWA World 6-Man Tag Team Championship, which he won in Tennessee. He also wrestled under the name Meng for World League Wrestling and won their Heavyweight Championship three times! That’s some serious dedication. I learned that he’s been mostly retired since 2005 but still steps into the ring every now and then.
Oh, and here’s a fun fact: Meng, or Haku, is known for being one of the toughest wrestlers ever. He’s trained in all sorts of martial arts and has a reputation for being a real fighter. I even watched a shoot interview where they talked about his toughness. I guess that’s what makes him so legendary.
- Meng’s Other Achievements:
- Won the NWA World 6-Man Tag Team Championship in Tennessee.
- Became the WLW Heavyweight Champion three times.
- Known for his toughness and martial arts background.
Getting into WWE
Then it gets even more interesting. In 1986, he joined WWE, but they called him King Tonga. And in his very first year, he body-slammed Big John Studd! That must have been a sight to see. He really made a name for himself right from the start.
All in all, exploring Meng’s career has been a wild ride. From recent championships to his early days in WWE, this guy has done it all. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on him, especially with the Olympics coming up. I hope you guys enjoyed this little journey into the world of Meng as much as I did. Until next time, peace out!
