Biography of Tajiri
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
"The Japanese Buzzsaw" has proven himself in WWE by winning and clinging to
the Cruiserweight Championship!
But those familiar with Tajiri's style are not surprised that he's been
successful in the WWE. While on a tour of Mexico, Tajiri incorporated a high
flying Lucha Libre style into his background of martial arts and Japanese
shoot wrestling to become one of the top young junior heavyweights in the
world. In 1998, Paul Heyman gave Tajiri an opportunity in Extreme
Championship Wrestling, where the Japanese Buzzsaw worked a series of
memorable matches, including a few with current WWE Superstar Tazz. Tajiri's
blinding, rapid-fire kicks to the face and an unorthodox maneuver called the
Tarantula earned respect thought the sports-entertainment world, and an
eventual ticket to the WWE.
