Here's a post I made a few months ago in the "What match are you currently watching atm?" thread.

Mr. Fuji's All-Time Best Use of Salt
Mr. Fuji was the master of throwing salt in an opponent's eyes. Most fans probably remember the tactic used against Bret Hart in the main event of WrestleMania IX, allowing Fuji (as manager of Yokozuna) to get his hands on the WWF Championship.
However, Fuji used the tactic regularly in his career. On more than one occasion, it helped him win one of his five WWF tag team championships (three times with Professor Toru Tanaka and twice with Masa Saito). Over his career, Fuji was one-half of the WWF tag team champions a record 952 days (beating Billy Gunn by 16 days and crushing everybody else).
Fuji and Saito won their first tag team championship in October of 1981 and appeared to lose it in June of 1982 to Chief Jay and Jules Strongbow. However, when Jay Strongbow ipinned Mr. Fuji, the referee failed to notice Mr. Fuji's foot on the bottom rope.
As a result, a best 2-out-of-3-falls rematch was held in mid-July.
What follows is one of the great miscarriages of justice in wrestling history.

Yeah, they stopped using numbers in their WM logo at 31. Remember Wrestlemania Play? I thought I read or heard somewhere they will only use numbers for the special ones,i.e. 40, 50.

Don't know where else to put this, but is everyone's first thought of what Dave Meltzer (very well-known wrestling journalist for those that do not know) look like is this? Mine certainly wasn't. I didn't think he would look relatively ripped.
