With due respect to Booker T, Mr. Fuji was a 5 time, 5 time, 5 time World Tag Team Champion. In the early 70s, Mr. Fuji and Professor Toru Tanaka won the World Tag Team Championships a total of 3 times. But then began Mr. Fuji’s most famous tag team run, teaming up with Mr. Saito, when he was managed by the legendary Capt. Lou Albano.
The awesome twosome had many memorable feuds, in particular, the one with Rick Martel and Tony Garea, as well as the Strongbow Brothers feud. Legends!
