Guest nokia Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks to Mike Aldren Tajiri's future in the WWE is apparently questionable at the moment. He hinted in one Japanese magazine this past last week that he might be leaving the company soon because his wife can't get a U.S. driving license, so she is stranded at home while he's on the road * I can't remember where I found this news - I saw it at several "news sites" Any thoughts? He's better of without wwe, but he'll be missed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Doesn't matter, he has nothing to do right now. He can't really start a tag team with somebody now cause nobody fits him. Kenzo Suzuki would have been a great tag partner and William Regal but Regal is on SD! now so Tajiri has nothing to do. He's jobbing on Heat to Tyson Tomko. Or they let him get vicious and challenge for the IC Title or for the World Tag Team Titles with someone who fits Tajiri's character. He's probably better off in Japan or TNA would be kinda cool but his wife can't get a US license. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Frankly, I'm surprised WWE hasn't released him by now. Not because Tajiri sucks (he doesn't), but because WWE hasn't been able to come up with anything for him to do consistently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest *KNK* Report post Posted October 9, 2005 They likely keep Tajiri because they want him to be the de-facto star face when they do the Japan tours and because they know if they need a short brief comedy angle, Tajiri is a good guy to go to. However, Tajiri has really been wasting away in WWE lately. He used to be used quite consistantly and was one of the top "stars" of the whole Invasion angle and they keep him in the scene for the next couple years until lately where he appears to have dropped off the face of the earth.

daileyxplanet 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Tajiri would be a grand addition to TNA where he could be with his stranded wife much more. Either that, or he could get her a chauffer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted October 9, 2005 He's an IC contender waiting to be made. He's the only guy his size who could beat the shit out of Snitsky and have everyone believe it. Push the kicks, add one sexy move the moveset, and this guy could easily be right there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Push the kicks, add one sexy move the moveset, and this guy could easily be right there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That and the fact that he's consistently entertaining in every skit that the writers come up with, no matter how horrible the skits may be. And the fact that he's still over to a degree despite being jobbed out and his style stands out from the rest of the roster but is safe in terms of "WWE style". This guy could easily be placed into Hollywood and be successful. The Rock needs to make him his Jackie Chan to The Rock's Chris Tucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2005 Tajiri needs to go to Orlando because: 1) TNA rarely leaves Florida 2) Team Japan with Tajiri and Nosawa would rule 3) Tajiri fits perfectly into the X Division 4) Reunion with the Sinister Minister would rule 5) The small audience would mark out for anything he does Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 This just sounds like an excuse by him to get the fuck away from the company. He can still make his money in Japan or hang out as part of TNA and unleash his death kicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2005 An Female Asian driver. Draw your own conclusions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No offence, but would it be considered poetic justice if said Female Asian Driver condemned your grammar? Maybe that's 'what's good for the goose is good for the gander?' add one sexy move the moveset The handspring off the ropes, although that's a little hard to pull off in the bgger WWE ring.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2005 I had the best idea for Tajiri a few years ago, where he'd be like Positively Kanyon and just sneak around backstage kickin' guys in the back of the head. Like during a WALKING! spot before break, Tajiri just jumps out from somewhere and kicks Shawn Michaels in the head. And he just goes around being the Japanese Assassin for a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
