Also, RIP to Mr Fuji, it's a shame he never got to manage Tajiri at any point, though the combined deviousness probably would have been too much for any company to handle.

Makes perfect sense if you're devious enough - he wasn't pro-Jarrett he was preventing Luger from qualifying for King of the Ring.

RIP Fuji.

My dad used to take me to wrestling events when I was a kid. For years we've had an inside joke of grabbing our wrists and saying "More pain! More pain!" in a Mr. Fuji voice whenever we're talking about something painful. That's my Mr. Fuji story.

All day I've been thinking of this promo I saw once with Fuji and Demolition where Smash kept going on about their training regimen consisting of having to push a truck uphill while Fuji sat in the front and rode the brakes. I'm sad there will never be a Fuji Vice-ish video of that and I'm left only with a visual

Man, Fuji really was the best-worst kayfabe manager. He takes teams to the tag titles, he betrays them for crappier teams for nebulous reasons. He takes a man to the World title, he calls for an impromptu title match and accidentally makes him lose it a minute later. Fuji was brilliant, but Fuji was basically Loki and too devious to be in control of himself.
