WWE made an excellent move in bringing Tajiri back for the Classic. While never quite a billboard superstar, he was incredibly popular throughout his 2000’s run with the promotion, and his presence will draw plenty of his old fans’ attention towards the tournament.

Though Tajiri was a solid WWE midcard hand for years, most of his career highlights came in ECW. He and Super Crazy collided a number of times over the years, and this was their strongest showing.

While previous matches between these two tended to descend into (admittedly spectacular), this match was a little slower, with the duo exchanging as many holds and suplexes as flips.
