Talk:Yoshihiro Tajiri

Origin
I forgot who the person was, but I recall this guy I knew who wrestled independent circuits for some 15 years saying that Tajiri was in fact Mexican. He used to say "I've wrestled the guy and talked to him - he speaks perfect english, but he just doesnt look mexican at all." I've always wondered if this was true, but unless I get into the wrestling business and get to know Tajiri, it's a long shot. How credible does that sound? Because I'm not just typing this for shock value.

Langauge
Is it true Yoshihiro Tajiri dosent speak a word of english? --Asososocrates 01:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * He may not be fluent, but I'd be surprised if he could speak no English. It's a required topic of study in Japanese schools. Besides, the man worked regularly in America for years, under conditions where a translator was probably not available&mdash;immersion is said to be the best way to learn a language, so it seems unlikely that he didn't pick up at least some useful phrases. They probably just say that to emphasize his foreignness. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 07:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Try clicking here and scroll down to "Tajiri has had enough of Coach" Romis 22:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Question
Did he not fight with another Japense wrestler called Funaki (sp?) in the late 90's? They were a tag team, fighting mostly on Heat. Also at one stage when asked a question wasn't he dubbed to say 'indeed' in a very low voice? Thanks, Wixy.
 * Ah no I think you've got TAKA Michinoku in mind, he teamed with Funaki as Kaientai and did the voice over gimmick MPJ-DK 10:37, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You're right. Thanks for that.

When TAIJIRI procured the paper belts...
... anyone reminded of his WWE days with Eddie/Eddy Guerrero and the adoptation of the "Lie, Cheat, Steal" mantra? Pakopako (talk) 21:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Brainbuser
TAJIRI has the Brainbuster in ECW as a Finisher,but in the Independet Circut,too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.82.71.71 (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Yoshihiro Tajiri
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Yoshihiro Tajiri's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "oww": From Davey Boy Smith:  From Shoichi Funaki:  From Shane Douglas:  From Juventud Guerrera:  From Brad Armstrong (wrestler):  From Mikey Whipwreck:  From Carl Ouellet:  From Zarinoff Lebeouf: </li> <li>From Kenny Dykstra: </li> <li>From Jules Strongbow: </li> <li>From Al Snow: </li> <li>From Mark Canterbury: </li> <li>From Tom Prichard: </li> <li>From Harley Race: </li> <li>From Larry Latham (wrestler): </li> <li>From Glenn Gilbertti: </li> <li>From George Gray (wrestler): </li> <li>From Lenny Lane: </li> <li>From Moondogs: </li> <li>From Paul London: </li> <li>From John Hill (wrestler): </li> <li>From Elix Skipper: </li> <li>From Daffney: </li> <li>From The Yukon Lumberjacks: </li> <li>From Mike Polchlopek: </li> <li>From Pedro Morales: </li> <li>From Taka Michinoku: </li> <li>From Magnum T.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:34, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Wait, Hard Gay?
The first sentence in the Hustle & Smash section needs clarification. As it is, it seems to refer to Shinjiro Otane as Razor Ramon Hard Gay (who is of course Sumitani Masaki). I'd take care of it myself, but I'm fairly sure I'd mess it up, as I don't know who was wrestling in that match. Brentmisato (talk) 00:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Transliteration is backwards
"田尻 義博" is "Tajiri Yoshihiro", not "Yoshihiro Tajiri". In the parenthetical section of the first sentence, the transliteration is flipped. I don't want to mess with the page, as wrestling is not my area of expertise, so could someone else possibly address this? Thanks! -The Old Briar Pipe (talk) 00:07, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
