Mr. Fuji: His 8 Most Legendary Ribs

6. Lex Luger: The Narp*ssist

It's fairly well known in wrestling that Lex Luger was a pretty unpopular guy during his prime. Whether he merited such disdain isn't quite clear; he certainly had a reputation as being standoffish and arrogant. Perhaps he was just shy? Those WBF videos rather suggest otherwise, however.

Luger certainly didn't go out of his way to make enemies. Quite the contrary, in fact, if one story relayed by The Powers of Pain, The Barbarian and the Warlord, is to be believed.

Though the 'Total Package' was new to the WWF in 1993, he was nevertheless already aware of Mr. Fuji's legendary reputation. So when the Devious One approached him in a restaurant in Philadelphia, Luger must have been wetting himself - and quite rightly so.

In fact, it was the opposite occurring; Luger sat stoically as Mr. Fuji urinated on his boot. Whilst casually chatting to him. Not ideal table etiquette, admittedly, but apparently Luger thought complaining about it would be just as rude.

Maybe it wasn't a rib: The Warlord also recounts a time Fuji pulled the same trick whilst talking to a restaurant manger, his victim this time an innocent pot plant. A practical joke or a serious medical problem? Either way, he was taking the p***.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
