So is Tajiri going to be a star?

[Crickett]

Tajiri so far has been true to the way he was in ECW. Is the Japanese Buzzsaw going to be the next upper midcarder in the WWF or the newest addition to WWF Jakked?


And why is Jerry Lynn being held down?

He is so small, it is going to be hard for him to compete with the big guys... I hope they can do something good with him.

So? Shawn Michaels was six feet tall. How many times did he beat Razor Ramon, Diesel and Sid?????


I thought Tazz was going to say "oh my god, they killed Elroy" with Michael Cole responding "You bastard" after the Tajiri/Crash Holly match.

I certainly hope he does end up being utilized. He get a resounding ECW chant every time he does something in the ring, and the little bugger can fight.

Shawn is 6'1" 230lbs


Sid and Diesel are both around 7'0" 300-something lbs.


Shawn still kicked both their a**es. :)

I am not going to debate with you the obvious differences between Micheals and Tajiri.

All I am saying is there is a visual aspect to wrestling, and matching up the big guys with the small is very difficult to sell on TV. For example, When Jericho and Benoit wrestle the Big Show ... it is a very extreme stretch to see the smaller guys win.

Tajiri happens to be particularly small and therefore his push will be limited... the same with Crash, Taz, Spike, and Dean Malenko. All are very good wrestlers, they just can't compete with the big guys on a main event level.

A match where Micheals beats Nash... is a strecth but believable, but Tajiri beating Kane or Spike beating the Big Show... in a Heavyweight title match in a paperview (not some 2 min fluke match on a Raw or Smackdown) is not going to sell.

I like Tajari but he is real
small. Regal towers over him
for goodness sake. I think he
has an outside chance of being
a main eventer especailly
since the main eventers are no
Longer Sid and Dissl. Can you
see a Beniot vs Tajaeri match
for the WWF belt??? It would
be amazing but we will see.
Helmsely vs Tajeria... I am
not so sure..... Even though
Michels was small he had
muscles. I see none on
Tajeri. I see him being with
the second group of stars.

Tajiri will do well, but like many of the under 6'8" workers, he's gonna have to prove himself effective in the mid-card range.

I do question something -- How is the Tarantula officiated? It involves contact with 2 of 3 ropes (thus limiting it to a standing 8 count) but is it counted as a submission?

Also: When's he gonna break out the mist? Granted the trick didn't work with Gangrel, but that was gimmick, not a pop-finisher.

Vince needs diversity. He sells the WWF all around the world, and he knows that Japan is a godmine. Prepare to see more Asians, Blacks and others joining the ranks.
It's all about the demographics!

I think Tajiri is going to be huge in the WWF. And as for Jerry Lynn, he'll prolly be part of the new WCW, with the WWF matches till now trying to give him a little national exposure.

Tajari's biggest problem is he
cannot speak english. At
least i don't think he can.
All great champs need to use
the mike especially the
champions because they do
other things than wrestle like
make appearences and for that
you need to speak
