Former WWE Cruiserweight champion Tajiri recently posted on twitter that he is done with WWE. Tajiri made a series of tweets regarding it. The original tweets are in Japanese though, still, take a look;
②で、会社としては、46歳というオレの年齢も考慮し「もうWWEでは試合はさせられない」と。しばらくしたらOKでるかな？と、NXTのコーチをやりつつ待ってみたのですが、やはりどうしてもダメである、と。そういうワケで、日本へ帰ります。

③ほんの4か月とはいえ再びWWEに戻れて、もう悔いなし。ちょうど1年前のいま頃から最後にもう一度やってみたいなと挑み、実現させた、オレのアメリカにかけた最後の青春がいま終わった。復帰実現に動いてくれたHHHとリーガル師匠に感謝。さようなら、そしてありがとう。WWEよ、アメリカよ。

①数日経ちましたが、なかなか公表されないようなのであえて自分から…1月に負った膝の怪我、実際もう全然問題なく大丈夫なのですが、WWEのドクターもOKを出しつつも「リスキーではある」と。ま、長年プロレスをやってきたレスラーのボディパーツって、誰でもそれが当然ではあるのですが。

Tajiri was a regular wrestler in WWE in the early 2000s. He won the cruiserweight championship three times, the Light Heavyweight championship once and the tag team championship twice. He departed from WWE in 2005 but made sporadic appearances after that.
WWE decided to bring Tajiri back after announcing on the 205 Live. Tajiri had a small run in the tag team division but could not find any success. Team Sportzwiki wishes ‘The Japanese Buzzsaw’ all the best for his future.
