RIP Mr. Fuji

Legendary wrestling manager and WWE Hall Of Famer Harry “Mr. Fuji” Fujiwara passed away this weekend at the age of 83.

That doesn’t diminish his accomplishments and his legacy, nor does it taint my enjoyment of the various sketches he did with Muraco.

My prayers go out to his friends and loved ones.
