I'm giving him a YAY because he entertained me for the bulk of his career. I loved the Headshrinkers. He was kind of a miss when he was "street smart Fatu" and then the Sultan was another miss. But Rikishi was obviously a huge hit, especially when he first started out. He has a match with HHH on SD for the title where he looked like he could really be ME material.

Hitting Stone Cold was a good step to the main event, but they really didn't follow it up at all. They gave him the new theme, but they kept his look the same as when he was a face. I think that was something small that actually would have had a tremendous impact on him being a successful heel, not showing his ass. Oh well. It was what it was. I liked seeing him with Haku too (I like Haku) even if by that point his time in the light was fading. My yay is really mostly for the Headshrinkers to potential ME Rikishi, and then meh for everything else.
