Yokozuna
Another one of the famed Anoa’I family who left the business too soon. He passed away at 34 years old at 589 pounds. He was a two-time WWF World Heavyweight Champion and two-time WWF Tag Team Champion (with Owen Hart), as well as the winner of the 1993 Royal Rumble. Yokozuna was the first wrestler of Samoan descent to hold the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
Part of his wide appeal was his sumo-style gimmick and the fact he was fairly agile for his size. He was originally managed by Mr. Fuji to give his character more credibility.
