Mr. Fuji showcased his versatility in the mid-late 80s, going from being a dreaded heel character to a hilarious comedy figure. Among the skits he was part of, this particular one stands out. At this time, Miami Vice was one of the most popular shows on US television. Mr. Fuji and Don Muraco teamed up for what was a parody of the show, called ‘Fuji Vice’, where the two of them essentially played 2 cops solving crimes in hilarious manners and after essentially failing to do so falling flat on their faces.
The low quality of production and deliberate bad acting was (kayfabe) mocked on screen by Vince McMahon, and dismissed by Fuji and Muraco as their ‘audience having no taste’. What made the package truly hilarious was the fact that Mr. Fuji with his accent and mannerisms looked really out of place as a policeman, and was the last person you’d imagine in that role. There were other skits as well, but none quite so memorable.
