5 Things you didn't know about Mr. Fuji

RIP Mr. Fuji (1934-2016)

1: He once fed Tanaka his own dog

Wrestling is a dog eat dog world

While it would make sense for every wrestling territory to have one Japanese wrestler, Fuji’s territory had two. Him, and his tag team partner Professor Tanaka. Tanaka had no great fondness for Fuji and would go to the office to lobby against him to become the top Japanese guy in the territory.

Fuji found out about this and invited Tanaka and his family home for some spaghetti and once they were done, revealed that he had served them their dog. A vicious end to the tribute!
