| | | | | King of the Ring: Encyclopedia II - Rodney Anoai - Later WWF Career Yokozuna's main-event status soon began to fade away, as he never again fully challenged for the World Title. He began tagging briefly with Crush, another Mr. Fuji star, but they were unable to take the Tag-Team Titles away from the Headshrinkers. In May 1994, in a Monday Night Raw episode, Yokozuna was challenged by Earthquake to an actual sumo match. Many people (including his handlers) expected Yokozuna to win, but Earthquake had been an actual sumotori and an amateur wrestler, and he would not be denied. On May 16, 1994, Earthquake beat Yokozuna in a (worked) sumo match that was not repeated until recently between ...
