Mr. Fuji: His 8 Most Legendary Ribs

2. Chained To A Plane

Fuji was devious is his own right, but when teamed with Don Muraco, he was practically unstoppable.

'The Rock' was allegedly complicit in the dog dinner discussed previously, and he was also on hand for yet another devilish prank on a plane back from Guam in the late '70s.

The unsuspecting victim this time was Armenian grappler Pampero Firpo. Whilst he was somnolent on the flight, one of the pair - almost definitely Fuji - took a six-foot length of chain, and tethered the poor sap's suitcase to the airplane's seat. It didn't stop there, as somewhere along the way the lock was superglued fast shut.

Needless to say, it was a difficult afternoon for Firpo, who after eventually unbolting his luggage had the tricky task of explaining to customs why it was bolted shut. It's almost as if wrestlers' reputations precede them...

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.
