Mr. Fuji Passes Away
Our top story is that Kevin Owens became the new WWE Universal Champion on Raw last night. I’m still so happy. But first, we’ve got to bring it down unfortunately, as WWE Hall of Famer Mr Fuji passed away over the weekend.
Harry Fujiwara spent over 30 years in the WWE, where he became a 5-time World Tag Team Champion – mainly by throwing salt into people’s eyes – to transition into a manager role later in his career – most notably for Yokozuna, who won the 1993 Royal Rumble match and two WWF World Championships, the first being from Bret Hart at Wrestlemania IX.
My favourite memory of him, though, is when he wore a dress with Paul Bearer in an advert forWrestlemania XI. Because I’m immature like that.
I think I’ve got a bit of salt in my eyes…
