5 Things you didn't know about Mr. Fuji

RIP Mr. Fuji (1934-2016)

2: Mr. Fuji loved to play pranks

Mr. Fuji was the ultimate practical joker

While Mr. Fuji is known as a dreaded heel manager on-screen, he was a terror in the locker room as well. Mr. Fuji was renowned for ribbing the boys, which, in wrestling parlance stands for practical jokes. When Lex Luger came to the WWE with an attitude problem, Fuji peed on his boots in a restaurant to teach him a lesson.

Lex Luger did not react, knowing Fuji’s reputation. Another time, Mr. Fuji asked Sunny to braid Yokozuna’s hair. She obliged, but soon sensed something was wrong. It turned out that because of Yokozuna’s enormous girth, he could never clean his hair. And his hair would hence, stink. Sunny’s hands began to stink as a result
