Mr Fuji! I remember him... A few years back Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat was a ref at a WWE event in Shin-Yokohama. He looked chubby.

'Let me tell YOU Yamamoto. You think you can step into my backyard and walk around as the new boy as if it doesn't matter ? Ever since you threw my girlfriend through the table that day, I've been waiting for my revenge ! Well, I'm going to get that chance. Because this weekend I'm giving you the chance to fight the one and only, yes, the UNDER-TAAAKER !'

All joking aside, this is a good and bad career move for Yamamoto.

The good side is, he'll be making steady money.

The bad side is, he will almost certainly be saddled with some lame stereotypical Japanese man gimmick like every other Japanese wrestler the WWE has ever employed. I shudder to think how this talented performer is going to be wasted like all the others.

Or else just be used as cannon fodder to hype one of the more popular wrestlers.
