WWE will announce officially later this week that Japanese legend and former NWA World champion Tatsumi Fujinami will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next week in California.

The former WWF Light Heavyweight champion will be inducted into the Hall by Ric Flair.

Flair headlined against Fujinami at the Starrcade in the Tokyo Dome event in 1991, losing the NWA title to Fujinami (in the United States, WCW shot an angle where Flair was still the WCW champion). This led to Fujinami coming back to the States to face Flair, losing to him in the main event of WCW Superbrawl 1991.
