 Let's talk about Wrestlemania V 5K winner Mr. Fuji. He won that thing while wearing his tuxedo and hat and carrying his cane. Also, he was just generally awesome. |

Pretty cool guy in my experiences. Last I knew, he was working as a ticket taker in a semi-local movie theater. I had heard this before but didn't really believe it. Then me and a friend went to watch Silent Hill and I kept thinking, "That guy looks familiar. But I don't know any Japanese men." Then it clicked, and I checked the name tag: "MR. FUJI"
After he handed me my ticket stub, I said, "By the way, I'm a big fan," and held out my hand. He shook it and did that "smile and half bow" thing he would do on TV. I managed to get down the hall before I marked out.

Not to nitpick, but he didn't win. You could see other runners finishing ahead of him. But, what Fuji did do was show everybody he was still in shape and could still go.  |

Fuji became known for throwing salt while managing Yokozuna, but what some might not remember is that before then, his badass cane had a spray mechanism at the bottom of it that sprayed...something...in the babyface's eyes.
Mr. Fuji rules.

The devious Mr.Fuji is probably my 2nd favorite manager of all time. All around awesome in every way possible
*resists urge to throw salt in somebodies eyes*

I've always heard that, along with Owen, he was the biggest ribber the business ever saw.

Mr. Fuji rules. Fuji would liberally 'season' wrestlers with salt long before he put on a suit. Fuji and Tanaka were one of the best tag-teams ever, with Fuji and Saito coming in real close. |

Mr Fuji was a great character. 'Tis a pity they don't make many like him anymore.
