Never like him. I think a lot of people who like/d Rikishi have the 'Samoa Joe' complex, whereby they see a large guy with a degree of athleticism and decide he's talented. Whether he was jumping off a cage onto Val, falling backwards from a cell or superkicking an opponent, I was never overwhelmed by it.

Also he lacked the charisma needed in a top tier guy. Sure he danced around with Too Cool, but that was his limit. He never had the mic skills to carry him over, and is probably one of the reasons he flopped as a top heel and ended up in a tag team with Meng. Who could forget 'I did it... I did it for... the Rock'? It was terrible.

Uh, Rikishi wasn't talented, he was just fun. Either you enjoyed his character or you didn't. No one likes him based of ring skillz, cause he has none. Than again Samoa Joe has even less talent, but somehow people are confused into thinking he's worth jackshit.
