Tonga was discovered to be a great fighter. Even untrained he could take on anyone; at first picked to Tonga's national hero team, the Islanders defected to the Heenan Family while tackling the Can-Am Connection.
From there the Brain found out a few things, namely Haku was the single toughest SOB he had ever seen or worked with. Not saying that was a bad thing, mind you, but that an issue-he was too good.
When Harley Race was injured, he passed his crown on Haku, with didn't exactly cool his ego but losing to Jim Duggen did. From there Haku stayed mostly just at mid-level. Not big enough to take on Hogan directly all the time, but good enough to stay in McMahon's good graces.
