Tajiri Yay or Nay?
So there was overwelming love for the Snowman so lets see how you feel about the Japanese buzzsaw? I first saw Tajiri in ECW as apart of the "Unholy Union" with Mikey Whipwreck and the Sinister Minister. After ECW went belly up he was William Regal's tea server for a while. After he split with Regal he was a kinda comedic face for a while with Torrie Wilson and then turned heel again making he drees as a geisha and spiting the "black mist" in Nidia's eyes. I remember he make a stable with Akio (Jimmy Wang Yang) and Sakoda, but (it's a wrestling rumor) they were going to feud with the FBI (italian mafiaish Nunzio, Chucky P and Johnny the Bull) vs Kyo Dai (a Yakuza gimmick). He wrestled kinda mid level for a while and was released from his contract after teaming with Regal and Eugene each. He still wrestles for Hustle and I've seen him here and there in All Japan. I'm gonna give him a Yay because I always did a little cringe when he did that snap kick to the head. I also would have liked to seen more on the Kyo Dai gimmick but, oh well. |

Big yay. |

I always liked Tajiri. I'm a sucker for the fun-loving guy who can then kill a guy with kicks. I'll be honest, I always liked Tajiri as a babyface more than a heel, even though I know most people prefer him as a heel.

He was awesome. Really annoyed me that instead of giving him a good farewell match they jobbed him on heat or something.

I always loved the guy. The way he sold a few moves kind of bothered me, but come on it's Tajiri. I loved him in ECW and I loved him in his first year or so in WWE. I'm surprised how well they booked him in 2001. He was amazing as Regal's assistant

Tajiri was one of those guys who should have gone a lot further had it not been for WWE's usual aversion to pushing cruisers. Solid in-ring work, was entertaining as hell when he was a face and made for a great 'dastardly foreigner' heel, had kicks that always made me wince when they connected, and always seemed to stay relatively over with the crowd even when getting jobbed out.
A definite YAY. |

Tajrii was very good. Things I liked about him:
1 - Loved his "Yakuza" thing he had going on with Akio (Yang) & Sakoda. Wanted to see it take him further tho. 2 - His Woman Hater gimmick w/ Torrie Wilson played out well as far as Woman Hater gimmicks go. 3 - Always marked out when his TitanTron showed him spitting out his name. PSSSSHHHHH "TAJIRI" IN BIG GREEN DRIPPY LETTERS. ![]() |
