As LOYALTIES are tested and POWER STRUGGLES continue within The MFT’s, let WISDOM guide his choices and let every CONFRONTATION tell a powerful story for the fans WATCHING around the world. May their CONFLICT showcase STRENGTH, HONOR, and the importance of standing firm in who they are! Eighth, after placing WWE Champion Cody Rhodes in a sleeper hold by CHALLENGER GUNTHER, we pray that we find if “The American Nightmare,” will be able to stand TRIUMPHANT as we shall if HAVOC will break out WITHIN the show. Additionally, we pray over the SHOCKING situation SURROUNDING Sami Zayn after TURNING his back on Cody Rhodes last week. As EMOTIONS run high and the WWE Universe SEARCHES for answers, let this rivalry REMIND everyone how TRUST can be TESTED under PRESSURE. Give both men the STRENGTH to face the consequences of their choices as their story CONTINUES to UNFOLD tonight on SmackDown!  Ninth, We pray that Blake Monroe and Chelsea Green meet in the back and Chelsea says I wanna fight you at Clash. Tenth, We pray that Charlotte and Alexa keep fighting and that they develop into a fued. Eleventh, We pray that Fatal influence continues to dominate SmackDown.  Twelfth, We pray that Carmelo Challenges Trick to a match at Clash for the US Title.  

And FINALLY, we pray for some ALL-OUT BRAWLS to break out sometime during the show, and we hope AND pray for ALSO an OUT-OF-CONTROL CHAOTIC Main Event on the show in the process as well overall!

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. As we pray… AMEN!

Personal Prayer:

The Legend Harley Race

 Harley Race 

Harley Leland Race was born on April 11, 1943, in the small rural town of Quitman, Missouri. His upbringing was shaped by the rugged environment of farm life and the values of hard work, resilience, and self‑reliance. As a child, Race faced a serious battle with polio, a disease that threatened his mobility and future. Yet even at a young age, he displayed the stubborn determination that would later define his wrestling persona.

Television was still a growing medium in the 1950s, but it brought professional wrestling into American homes. Race became captivated by the larger‑than‑life athletes he saw on screen, especially those from the Chicago territory. This fascination quickly evolved into ambition. By his early teens, he was already dreaming of stepping into the ring himself.

His life took a decisive turn when he began training under the legendary Zbyszko brothers—Stanislaus and Władek—former world champions who operated a farm in Missouri. They taught him not only wrestling technique but also discipline, toughness, and the psychology of the sport.

A violent altercation in high school led to his expulsion, effectively closing the door on a traditional path. Instead, it pushed him fully toward the world he truly wanted: professional wrestling.

Tragedy and Determination: The First Steps into Wrestling (1959–1965)

Race debuted professionally at just 16 years old under the ring name Jack Long, forming a tag team with John Long. The duo quickly found success, capturing the Southern Tag Team Championship. Race’s natural ability, combined with his willingness to learn, made him stand out among young wrestlers.

But his early adulthood was marked by devastating tragedy. A horrific car accident killed his pregnant wife, Vivian Jones, and left Race with severe injuries. Doctors believed his leg would need to be amputated, ending his career before it truly began.

Promoter Gust Karras intervened, insisting that Race be given a chance to recover. Through months of painful rehabilitation, Race fought to regain his strength. His eventual return to the ring became one of the most inspiring comebacks in wrestling history.

By 1964, Race was wrestling under his real name and forming a powerful tag team with Larry Hennig in the American Wrestling Association (AWA). Known as “Handsome Harley Race” and “Pretty Boy Larry Hennig,” the duo captured the AWA World Tag Team Titles in 1965. Their combination of brute strength and technical skill made them one of the most feared teams of the era.

 The Making of a World Champion (1966–1973)

As the 1960s progressed, Race’s reputation grew. He was known for his toughness, his ability to work with any opponent, and his deep understanding of wrestling psychology. These qualities made him a natural fit for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the most prestigious wrestling organization of the time.

Race spent these years building credibility across multiple territories, winning regional championships and proving himself as a reliable draw. His matches were gritty, realistic, and physically intense. Promoters trusted him. Wrestlers respected him. Fans believed in him.

In 1973, Race reached the pinnacle of the sport when he defeated Dory Funk Jr. to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time. This victory marked the beginning of a legendary run that would define his career.

The Eight-Time Champion: Dominance in the NWA (1973–1983)

Harley Race’s name became synonymous with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Over the next decade, he would win the title eight times, a record at the time and a testament to his importance in the wrestling world.

Race’s reigns were not just about holding a belt—they were about representing the entire NWA. As champion, he traveled constantly, defending the title in territories across the United States and internationally. He wrestled in Japan, Australia, Canada, and Europe, bringing credibility and prestige wherever he went.

His rivalries during this era became legendary:

Dory Funk Jr. — technical masterpieces that showcased pure wrestling skill

Dusty Rhodes — battles of charisma, grit, and storytelling

Terry Funk — wild, unpredictable clashes

Ric Flair — the feud that defined two eras of wrestling

Race’s matches with Ric Flair, especially their 1983 steel cage match at Starrcade, remain some of the most celebrated bouts in wrestling history. Race was the perfect foil for Flair’s flamboyant style—stoic, dangerous, and unshakeably tough.

 The WWF Era and the Rise of “King Harley Race” (1986–1990)

By the mid‑1980s, the wrestling landscape was changing. The World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was expanding nationally, and Race joined the company in 1986. There, he adopted the persona “King Harley Race” after winning the King of the Ring tournament.

With Bobby “The Brain” Heenan as his manager, Race embraced a more theatrical character, wearing royal robes and carrying himself with aristocratic arrogance. While different from his NWA persona, the character showcased Race’s versatility and charisma.

In 1986, another serious car accident injured Race’s abdomen and forced him to reduce his in‑ring schedule. Despite this, he continued to wrestle and later transitioned into a managerial role. He officially retired from active competition in December 1990.

 Promoter, Trainer, and Mentor (1991–2019)

Retirement did not slow Harley Race down. Instead, he shifted his focus to shaping the next generation of wrestlers. He founded World League Wrestling (WLW) in Missouri and opened the Harley Race Wrestling Academy, which became known for its rigorous training and old‑school philosophy.

Race believed in fundamentals: conditioning, respect, psychology, and toughness. Many future stars trained under him or sought his guidance, and he remained a respected figure in the industry.

His contributions were recognized with inductions into:

The WWE Hall of Fame

The NWA Hall of Fame

The WCW Hall of Fame

The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame

Few wrestlers have been honored across so many institutions.

Harley Race passed away on August 1, 2019, at age 76, after battling lung cancer. His death was mourned across the wrestling world.

 Legacy of a Wrestling Icon

Harley Race’s legacy is built on three pillars: toughness, excellence, and influence.

He is remembered as one of the toughest men to ever step into a wrestling ring—someone who could wrestle through pain, adapt to any opponent, and make every match feel real. His eight NWA World Championship reigns set a standard for what it meant to be a world champion.

Race also left a lasting mark as a mentor. His training methods, philosophy, and respect for the craft shaped countless wrestlers who came after him. Even today, his name is spoken with reverence by fans, historians, and performers alike.

Harley Race was more than a wrestler. He was a symbol of the sport’s heart and soul—a man who lived through tragedy, fought through adversity, and rose to become one of the greatest champions in wrestling history.

King Haku

HAKU 

For those wrestling fans just getting into wrestling I bring to you Haku ... He was one of my fav wrestlers growing up and you will learn alot about him here. 

Tonga Fifita, known to fans around the world as Haku (and later Meng), is widely regarded as one of the toughest and most respected figures in professional wrestling history. His career spans decades, multiple continents, and some of the biggest wrestling organizations, including WWE and WCW. While he may not have always been in the spotlight as a main-event champion, his legacy is built on credibility, intensity, and the respect he earned from peers and fans alike.

Haku was born in Tonga, a Polynesian island nation known for its strong warrior culture. Before entering professional wrestling, he trained in sumo wrestling, which helped him develop balance, strength, and discipline. This background gave him a unique foundation that translated well into the physical demands of wrestling.    At the age of 15, he was part of a group of six teenagers and young men sent by the King of Tonga, Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV, to Japan to study sumo. Sione Vailahi, who would later become better known as pro-wrestler "The Barbarian", was also a part of this group.  Barbarian also is a After moving to Japan in 1974, he competed under the shikona (sumo name) of Fukushima (福ノ島). He made his debut in November 1974 and reached the rank of Makushita 27. However, in 1975 the stablemaster who recruited him died, and he and the other five Tongan wrestlers got entangled in a dispute with his successor, which led to him being forced to retire by the Japan Sumo Association in 1976 .

Haku’s rise to prominence came during his time in the WWF (now WWE) in the 1980s. Initially appearing as part of tag teams, he later gained recognition as a singles competitor. One of his most notable achievements came in 1988 when he won the King of the Ring tournament, adopting the persona of “King Haku.” Managed by Bobby Heenan, he became a key member of the Heenan Family, one of the most famous villainous factions in wrestling history. As King Haku, he was portrayed as a ruthless and regal competitor, reinforcing his image as someone not to be challenged.
During his WWF run, Haku also found success in tag team competition. He teamed with the legendary André the Giant to form The Colossal Connection, a team that combined André’s iconic size with Haku’s toughness. Together, they captured the WWF Tag Team Championship, further cementing Haku’s place in the company’s history. 

His ability to seamlessly transition between singles and tag team roles made him an invaluable asset to the roster.

In the 1990s, Haku moved to WCW, where he competed under the name Meng. This period of his career emphasized his reputation as an unstoppable force. As Meng, he was often portrayed as nearly indestructible, with a brutal in-ring style that made him one of the most intimidating competitors in the promotion. He formed the tag team Faces of Fear with The Barbarian, creating a duo known for their sheer physical dominance.
Beyond championships and storylines, Haku’s legacy is heavily shaped by his real-life reputation. Countless stories from fellow wrestlers describe him as one of the toughest men to ever step into the industry. Unlike many larger-than-life personas in wrestling, Haku’s aura of danger was grounded in reality.

 When Fifita joined WCW, he adopted the name Meng and was presented as a savage, nearly indestructible competitor. Unlike flashy or comedic characters, Meng was portrayed as serious, dangerous, and unpredictable. His in-ring style was hard-hitting and physical, emphasizing strikes, submissions, and brute strength.

One of his most notable alliances was with The Barbarian. Together, they formed The Faces of Fear, a tag team known for their intimidating presence and raw power. Managed by Jimmy Hart at times, the duo often dominated opponents and became a key part of WCW’s tag team division. In WCW he won the WCW Hardcore Championship as well. 

Haku is married to Dorothy Koloamatangi whom they have a daughter, Vika; a son, Tanga Loa who is also a wrestler; and two adopted son who were the nephews of his wife Tama and Talla . His son Tanga Loa played football as a defensive end for the University of Texas at El Paso and was on the WWE roster from 2009 until 2014, as Camacho, and was also known as Micah in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Among Fifita's cousins are former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Steve Fifita and Australian Wallabies rugby international player Tatafu Polota-Nau. Haku made a cameo appearance in the 1978 Sylvester Stallone movie Paradise Alley along with many other professional wrestlers. In New Japan Pro Wrestling Tama and Tanga Loa and Talla aka Hikuleo were known as Guerrilas of Destiny and they were 8 time IWGP Tag Team Champions. 

Haku  also has close connections with Dwayne Johnson, who also wrestles as The Rock, a non-blood related member of the Anoaʻi family, whom Johnson considered as his uncle.

In conclusion, Haku’s history is one of resilience, strength, and respect. From his early days training in sumo to his time as King Haku in WWF and Meng in WCW, he consistently proved himself as one of wrestling’s most formidable figures. While he may not have always held the top titles, his impact on the industry is undeniable. Haku remains a symbol of toughness and professionalism, and his legacy endures as one of the most respected in all of professional wrestling.
