Japanese wrestling legend Tatsumi Fujinami has been announced as the latest name to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the eve of WrestleMania 31, joining Larry Zbyszko who was also announced to be inducted earlier this week.
Training under Antonio Inoki and later becoming known as 'The Dragon', he debuted in the early 1970s and came to prominence in New Japan Pro Wrestling before taking home the WWE Junior Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden.
Later years saw him take the WWE International Championship in 1982 before he returned to compete in Japan and win six IWGP Heavyweight Titles.
1991 saw him famously defeat the iconic Ric Flair at the Tokyo Dome to win the NWA World Championship, and he defended the title against the same opponent at the first ever WCW SuperBrawl.
Also being added to the Hall of Fame this year are Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, Rikishi, The Bushwhackers, Alundra Blayze and the first ever Warrior Award recipient Connor 'The Crusher' Michalek.
