I think Meng would just battle and battle then battle some more. You'd have to behead him to stop him.

lol. Really? Undefeted for 13 (?) years olympic super heavyweight gold medalist wrestler.. Against a wcw badass? sure he might have been but that wouldnt matter lol.
"Karelin was famous for his reverse body lift, the "Karelin Lift", where facing the opponent who was lying flat on the mat to keep from being thrown, Karelin hoisted his opponents into the air and slammed them violently to the mat. This devastatingly effective maneuver, when properly executed, awarded Karelin 5 points per throw, the maximum awarded in Greco-Roman wrestling. The throw had long been in use by lighter wrestlers but not by heavyweights since the technique required immense strength. Karelin's ability to perform this throw against elite opponents weighing as much as 130 kg was amazing to audiences as well as other participants and observers of the sport."

I would say in his prime however that there were no one on the planet that could do shit to him. The only chance i would say is if there's some HUGE wrestler that also knows suibmission that somehow caught him in something is the only way lol.
a rear naked maybe but man, then you would have to take his back. and good luck with that ;D
