5 Career highlights of Mr. Fuji

4- Leading Yokozuna to victory in the first match on Raw

Kickstarting the first ever Monday Night Raw match with a win

While Yokozuna defeating the much, much smaller Koko B Ware is no big feat in itself, bear in mind that Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna were asked to be a part of the first match in what was to become the flagship WWE show. Yokozuna decimated Koko B Ware with his finisher – The Banzai drop, and history was made that day. Little did the WWE Universe know, that with Mr. Fuji in tow, Yokozuna would go on to dominate wrestling in the months that followed.

This began with him eliminating a (then) record 7 men in the 1993 Royal Rumble and going on to win the match. Mr. Fuji was always by Yoko’s side, in a kimono with a smile on his face, waving the Japanese flag. They would become the most fearsome duo in wrestling in the early 90s.
