10 Things You Didn't Know About Tajiri
8. Tajiri Wrestled In The WWF In The 1990s
Tajiri signed with the World Wrestling Federation in 2001, and the first taste the WWF Universe got of the Japanese Buzzsaw was as William Regal's assistant. Well, this wasn't exactly the first taste the audience had received actually, as Tajiri had wrestled in a number of dark matches for the company as far back as 1997.
More so than dark matches, Tajiri actually wrestled on RAW a number of times as well. Most notably he went up against Taka Michinoku, then WWF Light Heavyweight Champion and clearly the man that the company wanted to build their light-heavyweight division around.
Tajiri also took part in a number of tag matches at the time, going up against the Godwinns and the team of Taka and Scott Taylor, who you probably know as Scotty 2 Hotty.
