Underrated, overrated, or properly rated?
Yea, rated
Got over well during a time when japs were still seen as weird creepy foreigners
>>21100953Properly rated imo
Well rated. He must have respectable connections as well to set up promotions and train up various talents for as long as he's been doing.
Could've used an Intercontinental belt run during his WWE run but he's properly rated in Japan. I rate Tajiri.
>>21100953meta rated
filled his spot on the card adequately enough. could do without the cringe humor
>>21100953how come he was a bit popular back then unlike kenzo suzuki
>>21101587he stole great muta's green mist gimmick. the mist always gets a pop, you give that to anyone and they get over. plus the wwe crowd hadn't seen that before.
>>21101587also suzuki was a block of wood who couldn't really do much of anything in the ring. they had little in common really other than country of origin
Him vs Super Crazy in ECW made me really love wrestling.
underrated definitvely.NJPW should hire him as coach, or use his school as development
I went to a house show in 2002 once. All the talent showed up on buses, except for Tajiri. He was driving some absolute shit brown car that looked like it was from the 70s. He was nice and waved to us in the crowd but I always wondered why he was driving that shitbox on wheels and only him while everyone else was on a bus
>>21100953Based susumu yokosuka.
