Yokozuna – Died in 2000
Born as Rodney Agatupa Anoa, Yokozuna took his ring name in reference to the famous Japanese Sumo wrestler of the same name. It may appall you that while he wrestled as a Japanese representative, Rodney was actually a Samoan-American. During his short wrestling career, he was able to win the World Heavyweight championship title and the WWF Tag team Championship title two times. He was the 3rd fastest debutant in the wrestling industry to win the WWF Championship after Brock Lesnar & Sheamus. Unfortunately, Yokozuna died in 2000 due to heart complications.
