    Mr. Fuji passes away -- also

    One of the greatest managers ever in the WWF (now WWE), Mr. Fuji, passed away a few days ago. He was a five-time tag-team champion and later managed several great tag-teams like Demolition, Powers of Pain, and the late-great Yokozuna. His trademark Japanese flag and throwing "salt to the eyes" are classic. He will definitely be missed (even though he retired 20 years ago). One of the greatest ever.............

      One of the greats and also a legendary tag team wrestler too. I always found him very fun to watch and larger than life.

          One of the best heels I've ever seen. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see him wrestle live, along with Mr. Saito, in 1982.

          He really had a talent for pushing the crowd's buttons. Sad news of his passing.

              Stupid but funny annecdote...whenever I happened to be eating something spicy by hand and accidentally wiped or touched my eyes I'd blame the burn on him. "Dammit, Mr. Fuji got me." Nobody ever knew what I meant, but that's not unusual.
              I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

              If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                      I have a passing caring for WWF/WWE, but Mr. Fuji was just one of the top great performers!!! Gotta give an RIP.

                              I remember Mr. Fuji tag team with Professor Toro Tanaka, I was around 7-8 years old and they were my
                              favorites, the only surviving kamikaze pilot and also won a marathon wearing a tuxedo, because of him,
                              I brought salt to my street fights.

                              I also had his LJN figure in tuxedo with cane, RIP Mr. Fuji one of the all time classic greats.
