Happy Birthday Tajiri

[Guest GreenMist]

Yay! He turns 32 today! Maybe he'll get pushed!!!! Or maybe he'll job to Rikishi!! You decide!

[Guest franchise632]

since he is the man in my Avitar I would also like to send out my best wishes. I know he can read this, even though he Kayfabes his english.

[Guest Anglesault]

Well, this fills my useless information quota for the day.

 

Happy Birthday, Tajiri!

[Rob E Dangerously]

maybe he'll get a birthday party

 

then he will kick the cake into the face of somebody

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Happy birthday Tajiri!

 

It's too bad that he won't be getting any form of "present" from the WWE. He's still stuck in his role as "that guy who always hangs out with Knoble & Nidia", and I haven't even seen him on TV in weeks (although I haven't seen Velocity in a while). I remember that period when he first came in and he was being used as a "silent killer" type role, but since then he hasn't done a whole heck of a lot. Even the Tarantula was turned into a semi-comedy spot by Funaki for a couple weeks.

[Guest Mystery Eskimo]

Happy b'day F'naki!

 

I wonder what he did to be punished by jobbing to Mark Henry...

 

Oh yeah, he's not 300lbs.

To change the topic a bit, where does everyone see Tajiri in a few years?

 

The comparisions to Muta have been made but does Tajiri have what it takes to ever make an impact in the HW division like Muta did. Tajiri is only 5'7 and doesn't have much muscle mass, Muta was over 5'10 and was thicker than Tajiri. Mic work is so important today, Tajiri will probably never be good on the mic thus will never get a big push.

 

 

I see Tajiri wrestling no more than two or three years in the WWE, maybe winning the cruiserweight belt a time or two but never going higher than that. Then he will go back to Japan and be a Junior as he isn't big enough to ever compete on a HW level there either.

[Guest GreenMist]

Eskimo, you're confusing your Japanese men. It's Tajiri's birthday, not Funaki's. It's understandable, after all, they're foreign and Japanese-so they're just funny guys! Lolz!!!1111

[Guest BoboBrazil]

Tajiri was crazy over when they pushed him. I don't see why they stopped and made him a jobber.

Why don't you throw salt on the wounds?

[Guest razazteca]

I see Tajiri vs Eddy Guerrero Main Event sometime early next year

 

if not then maybe Raw #1 Announcer

[Guest D'Lo White]

I see Tajiri vs Eddy Guerrero Main Event sometime early next year

I would love to see that.

 

I'll make sure to watch that episode of Velocity.

[Guest razazteca]

it could be a Smackdown Main Event but of course it would have to be in California or Texas to get any kind of crowd reaction

[Guest Zero_Cool]

Well..might as well..

 

Happy Birthday, Tajiri!

[Guest DJ Jeff]

Happy birthday, Tajiri.

 

Maybe now he'll win the Cruiserweight Title sometime soon.

He was just on the last SD, teaming w/ Knoble against C&B.

 

Happy birthday <Austin> Tie-jiri </Austin>

[Guest AndrewTS]

I've heard that personally, Tajiri doesn't even really enjoy wrestling all that much. It just happens to be something he's good at. So considering that, I'd figure he'd wrestle maybe a couple more years now that he's making some good money in the WWE, and retire while still rather young and healthy.

[Guest EMAXSAUN]

maybe tajiri can join up with his old master regal and join the un americans, and then he can be their head spokesman, so he will come out and cut anti america promos...entirely in japanese

[Guest razazteca]

been there done that....

 

see Funaki, INDEED

see La Parka, in WCW, he had the power of Greyskull

Whoops. Must have missed that match... seriously, was it the opener or something, because I only saw two matches last week, the main event and the Edge/Eddie spectacle.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Chavo/Rikishi was the opener. The Torrie/Nidia bikini thing was next, which set up the Tajiri/Knoble vs. C&B match.

 

It was a pretty good match. Tajiri & Knoble worked over Billy's knee, and Billy sold it like a champ, going so far as to collapse off an irish whip. C&B won.
