The ironic bit of this story, I think, is that years later, Yokozuna’s real-life cousin would wrestle under the name Rikishi in the late-90s and get to walk out to hip-hop music despite wearing sumo attire. That said, Yokozuna defied Vince McMahan and kept red tights on under his loincloth, and his cousin did not. Perhaps times had changed in Rikishi’s case, or it was the lack of tights that got him what he wanted? We can only speculate and wonder what would’ve happened had Yokozuna ever switched out the most peaceful entrance theme in WWE for hip-hop.
