Steve V.1 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hmmmm. take some time off and heal up....anyone else think TNA when they first saw the title? I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoPogo Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Whoa. Bummer. But again, NEVER used properly. When will they learn? Hugely talented, but always given the comedy/sneaky oriental role/typecast.....gah. I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Damn you Mrs Tajiri and your lack of ability to drive. It's easy. ABC- Accelerator, Brake, Clutch. 3 point turns are even easy if you've been driving for a few years. I knew it was coming, but I'm still disapointed.

Dave7g Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Good for him, WWE never used him right in any way. He's been wanting to go back to Japan for a long time, he will be a huge asset to whatever Japanese fed he goes to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HulkFearsAustin Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Pretty much a ''Who Cares?'' type of release for me. He didnt add anything to the shows and is no big loss. Bye bye :1wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Enforcer Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 sorry to see him go, but 'm sure he can do better somewhere that actually uses its cruisers better then WWE does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPIB Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I hope they give him an honorable last match, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 nah i think he just changed his name to anime otaku *Bakasmacks Phizzle* not funny :P Definatly bad news though. He was pretty good but used really badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave7g Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I hope they give him an honorable last match' date=' but I doubt it.[/quote'] It seems the tradition in WWE for leaving wrestlers, is to humiliate them beyond recognition and to make them look as worthless as possible on their last outing.

Dan Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Its been talked about for a few months, and has come as no suprise. Its a shame, but if Tajiri wants to continue his wrestling career he'll be able to virtually go anywhere he wants, and probably make decent money to boot.

The Fury Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 shame to see him go. Another person that wasn't used right in wwe. Here's hoping he gets a good push in Japan. I hope he returns to wwe soon or tna maybe-be a good asset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 He;ll be over in AJPW, NOAH or Hustle before you can fart his theme tune... Trust me on this. He has links with TAKA and TAKA has links with both NJPW, AJPW, Dragons Gate, MPro and Hustle so who knows where he'll end up... Hell he could even be over in Zero One soon seen as they are bringing in alot of former ECW-ites and Masato Tanaka has alot of sway over there with ex ECW-ite Steve Corino and their good pal Ohanti who books the place... So if he goes back to wrestling who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Finish Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Wonderful. Tajiri vs Low-Ki, KENTA & SUWA in NOAH, and/or Ryo Saito & Susumu Yokasuka in Dragon Gate sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 It was common knowledge he would be leaving several months ago, so I'm not too suprised. I don't think he was underused in any way. It's too hard to get fans to like watching foreigners (Nevermind Japanese wrestlers), so there's not much else they could of done with him. Good enough wrestler, but he was too limited where it matters. I'd like to see him in a few proper matches before he fully retires though.

Gooneronastick Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Its a damn shame WWE didn't do something more with him and I hope he doesn't give up wrestling altogether. Darn good worker IMO and can put on a helluva match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Gringo Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 If NJPW had any sense they'd bring him in as he proved overe there whilst being a BJPW wrestler that he could hang with Ohanti... And Ohanti back then was for me the best cruiser form wise in the world... Put him in the ring with Liger, Minoru, Goto, Koji Kanemoto, Taguchi, Naruse, Tiger Mask or Black Tiger and you've got a fantastic match for me... Same in NOAH... KENTA, Marufuji, SUWA, Kanemaru, Marvin, Mushking Terry/Kotaro Suzuki... And then in AJPW? TARU, TAKA, Kondo, brother...Yasshi, Hayashi and Ishimori as well... Never mind the stellar junior heavyweight roster DG have got as well... Tajiri should freelance around these places like Sasaki and others have done this year, re-build his repuatation and make a killing.... Go on Taj, I know you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cenarules Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I expected this to happen a long time ago so it isn't a big suprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 CZW used him better than WWE did, even if he did only hold the belt for what? 2 or 3 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
