5 Career highlights of Mr. Fuji

Remembering the legendary Mr. Fuji (May 4, 1934- August 28, 2016)

5- Leading Demolition to the longest tag team title reign

Not as positive as The New Day

If The New Day continue their reign as Tag Team Champions until December this year, they break Demolition’s all time record of 478 days at the top. But until then, Mr. Fuji’s team of Ax and Smash aka Demolition hold that distinction. Mr. Fuji bought their contracts from Luscious Johnny V. Demolition would defeat Strike Force and become the World Tag Team Champions at Wrestlemania 4.

They accomplished this when Ax struck Rick Martel in the back with Fuji’s cane. Funnily enough, this joy would be short lived as Mr. Fuji would turn on Demolition at Survivor Series, and begin to manage their arch rivals – The Powers of Pain. Fuji (kayfabe) felt that The Powers of Pain were a more obedient lot than Demolition, who’d become disrespectful after winning the titles. Be that as it may, Mr. Fuji still led Demolition to their historic title win.
