So Yoko put a little stank on the drop...makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about getting squashed... It's from the 1/3/94 RAW. The unfortunate jobber's name is Dan Dubiel. Pretty standard Yoko squash. My guess is that the Fuji story is 100% bullshit.

Found the story. It's from a Naylor interview with Meltz. Quote We get some random conversations about several wrestlers. Meltzer said some teams hated working with the Samoan Swat Team as they were hard to move. They add how Samoan wrestlers would rough up enhancement talent who were disrespectful and mention the Yokozuna vs. Dan Dubiel match from “Wrestling Challenge” where Yokozuna completely destroys Dubiel and flattens him with the sumo drop as Dubiel was reportedly disrespectful to Mr. Fuji and was not selling Yoko’s offense.

Reminds me of Meltzer's story about Buddy Rose's last night with the WWF in (I think) 1982. Quote “On his last night in, it was when Fuji was doing those horrible ribs,” remembered (Billy) Graham. “Buddy was begging Fuji not to padlock his bag full of clothes to a drainage pipe while he was doing his match. Buddy was begging him. Fuji was just sitting there smiling at Buddy. Rose actually grabbed his giant bag and took it to the ring with him and set it in the corner. When the match was over, he grabbed the bag, walked right through the locker room with his boots and trunks on, and drove away.” 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 lol that jobber sure did deserve to face the real possibility of getting his skull caved in because he "disrespected' (no other details, of course) a known asshole huh Ribs and "receipts" are both fucking stupid. If Yokuzuna had an issue with the guy, he should have settled it before or after the match. Purposely hurting someone when they least expect it during what's agreed to be a fake fight is cowardly as fuck. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So'z, when Kota Ibushi does crazy dangerous moves, it's important to know that he has actually toned it down when you see shit like the below and those crazy spikes he did to poor Gota Ihashi. Die, Michael. Die! And for fun! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Even Kenny was like "FUCK!" on that one. The guy didn't deserve it but still, that is super stupid to dis Fuji. I'd be more afraid of him setting me on fire or something than Yoko squishing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Yoko turned face, his tag team with Taker practically only lasted a couple of minutes on TV, and was only used as ratings bait. Couldn’t find a gif of it. I guess this is close enough on the unlikely teams list. Edited March 29, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
