(BP) Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'd bet after Cena's retired and not necessarily Mr. Make-a-Wish anymore we'll get at least one fun promo shitting on the crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Sweetser Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I didn't get to throw salt, but I threw powder a couple of times, and once I yelled "FUJI!" when I did it. Volt Vegas, the recipient, lost his shit and failed not to laugh while trying to sell being blind. Good times. Fuji and Humperdink have some epic ribs to plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never, ever happen - nor should it - but delusional-heel-who-thinks-he's-a-babyface John Cena going to hospitals and insisting on visiting sick kids who requested to meet Daniel Bryan through Make-a-Wish would be the greatest angle ever. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - it is looking like the shows starting after the Smackdown PPV on the 11th are the ones that are going to be brand specific Ironically - the show on the 12th (the Smackdown House Show against the live RAW) is being held on campus and I am debating going to it just for the bizarreness (despite how much I really don't like Smackdown roster at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will Balor "do a Cena" and shock the world as #30 in the rumble? Sin Cara's on Raw. He'll provide clean samples for Balor in exchange for keeping his job.

ChrisM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The first time I saw (then) WWF wrestling on TV, it was Mr. Fuji and Tiger Chung Lee in a tag team. Fuji was definitely nearing the end of his run as an active in-ring performer then, but I still found him to be intimidating and slightly scary. RIP Fuji-san. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I wonder though how many parts of how many wrestlers you could open up and have a surgeon say "whoa what the fuck is this? Did he come in here held together with Popsicle sticks and twine?" 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph2112 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 The match where Mr. Fuji threw salt into Tony Garea's eyes and him and Saito won the tag belts is the jumping off point for my wrestling fandom. I remember watching wrestling before that but after, I was all in. RIP, that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I never watched much of Mr Fuji's work, except when he was Yokozuna's manager. But as an Asian dude, I feel like he set us all back 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
