Who Was Screwed During The Invasion?

I was gonna make this thread about why the HELL RVD didn't get the World Title he deserved towards the end of the invasion, but I think that's been done to death.

So I'm turning my attention to someone who was almost as over as RVD during this time, who has also been terribly misused since then...

TAJIRI!

I'll never understand how they messed this one up. He was impressing the fans with his unique moveset and style, and was getting bigger cheers than almost everyone else.

His push seemed to come to an end at the hands of someone you wouldn't expect... RVD. Their match was bound to kill the momentum of one of the guys, and RVD took the win. It's been downhill for Tajiri ever since then, but has he got more to offer?

I'd argue, YES.

No matter how much of a joke they've tried to turn him into, his kicks still get major crowd reaction, and of course it's a novelty when he speaks, since he's not American and his voice sounds funny.

Seriously WWE, push Tajiri NOW!!!

I don't have times to put details in it, but Tazz defiantly got screwed, that could of used the chances they seemed like they were going to take at the time with him.

The Hurricane could of got used, he was easily the second most over guy for The Alliance at the time.

I'd like to see Tajiri used properly in the WWE. And when I say used properly, I'm NOT talking about him getting fed to Chris Masters every week.

Tajiri has still got a job with the WWE and has been on television in the last few weeks, so I'd consider him quite lucky. Particularly because he is a cruiserweight (not to mention on a show with no cruiserweight division) and because he's ex-ECW.

You send him to SmackDown and turn him lose in the cruiserweight division. Tajiri vs. Super Crazy vs. Guido at ONS proved that the man excels in that sort of environment.

Booker T was treated like HHH compared to the way in which DDP was portrayed in the invasion.

Make me Famous? Sure, how would you like to job to the Undertaker in every way possible.

While I wholeheartedly agree with you on Page, Booker really wasn't treated as much of a threat either, especially after that "Mr. T." line by Edge on RAW
