Legendary manager Paul Heyman is set to be honored with induction into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. With a career spanning decades and numerous contributions to professional wrestling, Heyman’s recognition is well-deserved.
However, Heyman is not the only rumored inductee this year. Reports suggest that another wrestling legend, Haku, may also receive the prestigious honor. Since this news broke, fans have been eager to learn more about the legendary superstar.
Haku, who entered the world of professional wrestling in the late 1970s, quickly gained a reputation as one of the most feared wrestlers of his era.
Throughout his illustrious career, he competed in WWE (then WWF), WCW, and New Japan Pro Wrestling, leaving a lasting impact wherever he went.
Joining WWE in 1986 as King Tonga, Haku showcased his prowess as both a singles competitor and part of the formidable tag team The Islanders.
His memorable feud with The British Bulldogs and his reign as “King Haku” after winning King Harley Race’s crown are etched in wrestling history.
Despite parting ways with WWE in 1992, Haku’s legacy endured, with notable appearances in promotions like AEW in 2021.
While Haku’s career achievements are widely recognized, some fans mistakenly believe he is related to Roman Reigns and The Bloodline.
However, there is no familial connection between Haku and Reigns, although they share the same island roots as Peter Maivia, the Anoa’i family patriarch.

In the buildup to Heyman’s induction, wrestling veteran Lance Storm suggested on social media that Heyman should be the sole focus of this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony.
Storm proposed that Heyman be given the entire hour to himself, considering his monumental contributions to the industry.
Although such a scenario is unlikely, fans eagerly await the official announcement of this year’s Hall of Fame inductees. With Heyman’s impending induction and the possibility of other wrestling legends joining him, the Class of 2024 promises to be memorable.
