exactly, Riki is guy should have special status in wrestling business because he's the man who invented scorpion deathlock, not either bret hart & sting.....

It’ll happen some day. Fujinami was inducted a few years ago, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Riki gets in soon.

sadly we never see Vince mention this title even in HOF(funny thing is vince even mentioned about Junior title & tiger mask), and honestly Fujinami & Riki should induct into HOF as well....

Not a whole lot, just a few tag matches against WWF guys in the late 70's, early 80's from what I can tell. The WWF international Heavweight Title win came against Fujinami in Tokyo. He dropped the title back to Fujinami a little later. There was some collaboration between NJPW and WWF, and then NJPW and WCW way back then.
