RF Video is very happy to announce that we conducted a new shoot interview with the Japense Buzzsaw Yoshihiro Tajiri and it will go down as one of those rare gems. We did the interview right after Tajiri teamed up with Mikey Whipwreck in our private locker room with him as he was still in full gear, sweating and dripping with green mist!!!
It took RF Video over 10 years to get Tajiri to sit down with us but we accomplished our mission. Yes, Tajiri can speak english and not only do we give you a interview on his entire wrestling career but this shoot will feature bonus matches with him as well!!!!
Tajiri talks about how he broke into the business and soon traveled to Mexico to learn his craft. You will hear about his start in Japan and his relationship with all of the indy promoters out there. Tajiri takes us back to what it was like to work as a green horn with Terry Funk the night he faced Cactus Jack in the infamous 1995 IWA Death Match tournament. He talks about working in CMLL and all over the world before he got his start in ECW.
Tajiri talks about what it was like in ECW and how he got to work with Super Crazy. We talk all about that feud and why he thought Super Crazy was better than him and how he made himself better than Super Crazy. We talk about his matches with Little Guido, Mike Awesome, Tommy Dreamer, Taz and everyone else that he worked with in the ECW locker room. What did he think of Paul Heyman and how did Paul react after his first match in the company.
Before heading over to the WWE he worked for CZW and a few other Indy companies and we talk about those matches as well with Low Ki and others.
How did Tajiri end up into the WWE and who brought him in. You will hear a hilarious story on how he tried to hide from Vince McMahon on his first night in the company!!!! This is a hilarious story…as you will see the funny side of Tajiri during this shoot.
We talk about his alliance with Steven Regal right off the bat when he was in the WWE and of course he talks about working with Rhino as well. Tajiri talks about his team and feud with Eddy Guerrero and what it was like to face Triple H. Tajiri worked with Chris Kanyon, Jamie Knoble, Xpac, Rey Mysterio Jr and almost everyone in the WWE locker room. He has many stories on what it was like to work for the WWE before he quit and headed back to Japan. You will hear why he wanted to quit the WWE for a long time too.
Tajiri talks about working for New Japan and how he got the job as head booker for SMASH promotion in Japan. We talk to him about the Great Muta gimmick and what it was like working with all the new talent in Japan. The interview is a must if you love Tajiri as you will see a whole new side of the Japanese Buzzsaw!
In addition three bonus matches have been added at the end of the interview!
