Earlier in the day, WWE.com confirmed the death of Hall of Famer, Mr. Fuji. Below is what WWE posted… <\/p>\n
WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer Harry Fujiwara, known to WWE fans as Mr. Fuji, passed away Sunday morning at the age of 82.<\/p>\n
Fuji spent more than 30 years entertaining fans worldwide as both an in-ring competitor and one of WWE\u2019s greatest managers. A five-time WWE World Tag Team Champion, Fuji was infamous for keeping small bags of salt in his tights which he would throw into his opponents\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n
After retiring from the ring, Fuji managed a litany of WWE\u2019s most feared Superstars, such as George \u201cThe Animal\u201d Steele, Kamala, Killer Khan, Demolition, The Powers of Pain, Yokozuna and most notably, \u201cMagnificent\u201d Don Muraco.<\/p>\n
With Muraco, Fuji treated WWE fans to the classic Fuji Vice, Fuji General, Fuji Bandito and Fuji Chan series. These series were ahead of their time because spoofing successful television shows as they tried to break into Hollywood was the epitome of sports-entertainment.<\/p>\n
His career will be remembered by different generations for different reasons but Mr. Fuji, whether as a Superstar or manager, is one of the most entertaining performers in the history of WWE.<\/p>\n
The Crazy Max family extends its condolences to Fujiwara\u2019s family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
