Sad news today as former WWF manager Wally Yamaguchi has passed away. He was only 61-years-old but previously had a stroke in 2017. Yamaguchi was most famous for managing Kai En Tai and having an entertaining feud with Val Venis after the faux-porn star slept with Yamaguchi’s wife. He infamously screamed, “I choppy choppy your pee pee!”

Beyond his western stint, Yamaguchi also left a mark in Japan’s wrestling scene. No only did he work on magazines, but he also started the FMW promotion and helped out a number of All Japan Pro-Wrestling members in the 80s. He’s the brother of current WWE Japanese announcer Shun Yamaguchi.
Our condolences to Yamaguchi’s family and friends at this time.
