8 Professional Wrestling deaths in 2016

#2 Mr. Fuji

One of the greatest wrestling managers of all time, and an A-grade ribber

In August 2016, the world lost a legendary manager in Mr. Fuji. Not only did he lead Yokozuna during his historic run in the early 90s, he also led Demolition to their record-setting tag team championship reign.

Harry Fujiwara was a (kayfabe) terror at ringside as he threw salt in the eyes of wrestlers who went up against the talent he managed. This was nothing compared to the terror he was considered backstage with his ribs and dreaded practical jokes.

In the year 2007, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by a man he used to manage- Don Muraco. Fuji and Muraco were also part of many hilarious skits together, most notably the entertaining ‘Fuji Vice’.
