Rhyno & Tajiri

[Mr. Long]

I see these two as being a good tag team. I hope they win the tag titles at SS.

What do you guys think of them as a tag team?

[The True Game]

Not a bad pairing, but I'd like to see Sgt. Slaughter and Rhyno more. I think they were a good tag team.

[Y2J World Champ]

Well the Sgt. Slaughter and Rhyno tag team was only a one night thing. As for Rhyno and Tajiri, well I doubt they will get the tag team titles anytime soon. I think the WWE made this tag team just so that they when do have tag team matches on rhyno they can always go to Rhyno/Tajiri. So this tag team is not meant to win the tag team titles but to just be in tag team matches to take up space.

[The Stig]

Sgt. Slaughter is too old to wrestle a full schedule. Should Tajiri and Rhyno be a credible tag team for Summer Slam, they have alot of work to make themselves a credible tag team that could hold the belt.

So far on Raw, La Resistance is the only credible team. Tajiri and Rhyno look like they have been thrown together out of nowhere.

[Y2J World Champ]

Well what tag teams does Raw have....La Resistance, Tajiri & Rhyno, thats it. I have been seeing several house shows where they have Chuck Palumbo teaming up with Garrison Cade, in my opinion that can be a very interesting tag team. Too bad they don't have them wrestle on Raw.

[Mr. Long]

Well as the story goes, Rhyno was looking for a tag team partner, so he can beat La Resistance. First it was Rhyno & Sgt. Slaughter vs. La Res (a.k.a. The Quebecers Version Deux), and Rhyno and Sarge lost. Then it was Rhyno & Val Venis vs. La Res, and La Res won. Then it was Rhyno & Tajiri vs. The Coach and Garrison Cade, and Rhyno & Tajiri won. So it appears that Rhyno finally found his tag team partner.

[Y2J World Champ]

I remember when these two were fighting each other for the U.S. Title back when the WCW/ECW invaded the WWE. And now they are a tag team well imo these is not a real tag team. They both have different styles of wrestling and for some weird reason they just don't seem to be a good tag team, don't know what it is but it just doesn't look right. I'm still saying they should have Cade/Chuck be a tag team for Raw and possibly have the tag team of A-Train and Test.

[Mr. Long]

Yeah, if T&A reunited it would be good. If Cade & Palumbo team up, then Garrison will have to drop the whole HBCade gimmick, and I'm really looking forward to that angle.

[Y2J World Champ]

Well thewhole HBCade Storyline is just a rumor and hasn't been decided yet from what I heard.

[Superman33]

WWE pulled a Matt Hardy and dropped the ball when they sent both Tajiri and Rhyno to Raw.

[Y2J World Champ]

Well I read on WWE.com that Rhyno loves being on Raw because the Smackdown writers pretty much.........Suck! I'm shocked. Rhyno thinks the Smackdown writers suck, how can that be. :rolleyes:

[Se7en]

I can see Tajiri and Rhyno being a good tag team, but i dont think they will see any tag title action anytime soon. I predict rosey and hurricane will be the next team to compete for the titles.

If there is no other explanation for tonight, atleast WWE now has something to compete over. Sylvains singing vs. Tajiri's "USA" chant.

Which is worse? :cool:

[Y2J World Champ]

Well Rhyno and Tajiri did show up together on Raw when Tajiri faced Sylvian Grenier. So at Summerslam (for some weird reason) it might be Rhyno and Tajiri vs La Resistance for the World Tag Team titles in which Rhyno and Tajiri would win. Because this feud between Rhyno/Tajiri and La Resistance has been growing for the past few weeks.

[Mr. Long]

Maybe it will a Fatal-4-Way or a Triple Threat with The Hurricane & Rosey and another team, I guess Cade/Palumbo if they really become a tag team.

[Y2J World Champ]

If they had Cade/Chuck vs Hurricane/Rosey vs Rhyno/Tajiri vs La Resistance, I bet it will be just as bad as the fatal four way tag team title match at WMXX between RVD/Booker T, Cade/Jindrak, La Resistance and the Dudleyz.

[The Great One]

I just want it to be Rhyno/Tajiri vs La Resistance for the titles. But IMO i would rather La Resistance win, which would continue the feud and give Rhyno/Tajir a lot more credability as a team. I would have them win the tag belts at the next Raw PPV.

[Mac Daddy]

I don’t like the idea of Tajiri and Rhyno as a tag team. I think these two have more potential as independent IC contenders.


They can either make Tajiri a serious IC contender or send him back to SmackDown. Really either one works. Tajiri could hook back up with Sakoda and Akio and reform the Japanese unit that existed some months ago. Tajiri could compete in the Cruiserweight or U.S. title division while Sakoda and Akio compete in the tag team division, which is lacking. Or they could keep Tajiri on Raw and have him compete in singles comp with wrestlers like Randy Orton, Batista, Christian, Matt Hardy, etc. I’d personally like to see him on SmackDown with Sakoda and Akio in the US division.


In my opinion, Rhyno would be better served on Raw. I know a lot of people like Unknown and PK, I think, have been saying how Rhyno needs to be on SD and in the US title or main-event scene. I don’t doubt that Rhyno doesn’t have that potential, but right now that’d be a little rush. I say keep Rhyno stabilized as an IC contender on Raw and … turn him heel and place him with the Coach! Jonathon Coach has enormous heel heat and abilities and it’s about the time starting seriously using it again. They used it as one of the ways to get Tajiri over and it was a success. So now it’s time for them to reconnect Rhyno with the fans and Coach is the way to do just that. I’m salivating right now at the thought of Rhyno feuding with talent like Shelton Benjamin, Edge, Tajiri, and Matt Hardy.


Tajiri and Rhyno are better served as singles competitors than as a tag team. But maybe I should wait and see what happens after they eventually break up.

[savage-monkey44]

well sakoda's gone. so I think they should send both those guys back to SD. I think they should bring an established tag team from SD. I think they should bring in Charlie haas and reunite twgtt and t&a that would rock.

[The Kid]

Lol. T&A. Not really sure that would rock. I don't mind Rhyno and Tajiri as a tag team but I agree with Mac Daddy that they would be better off as IC title contenders. I think both wrestlers have potential to really be big if they were just given the chance.

[The Pez]

That's the problem with the WWE right now. People that deserve a chance aren't given one because the WWE believes more in entertainment value than actual skill. As well, pushing overused talent rather than giving new talent a break.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Hardcore division make a comeback. That was a lot of wrestlers, whom currently have jack **** to do, would at least have something to shoot for.

[Duff]

Personally, i'm glad they are being used as a tag team. The other alternative is to have them either as jobbers or on Heat. Eventually, they will be a solid team, and i'm glad they arent competing at Summerslam, as it will give themmore time to build the rivalry and to gel as ateam. I agree they should be so moch more than a 2nd thought tag-team, but there really isnt room for them anywhere else at the moment. They aren't near main event level (then again, neither is Randy Orton) and the IC title is coming along nicely with Edge, Jericho, Batista and soon Christian filling out the main competitor spots. The WWE could be doing with another title for guys like Rhyno, Tajiri, Matt, Cade, Steven Richards and others to compete for. I dont think the hardcore title would be a great idea, as it would be a lot tamer than its previous reign, but some sort of title mightnt be a bad idea. In fact, i think i'll phone Vince now and tell him to get to work on it right away.

[Lover Nuts]

In fact, i think i'll phone Vince now and tell him to get to work on it right away.

Tell him I said hi, and that we want more of Trish's ass on RAW. :D :winkok:

[Duff]

Tell him I said hi, and that we want more of Trish's ass on RAW. :D :winkok:


Speak for yourself, i'd rather watch wrestling. Considoring this isnt a possibility with the current direction of the company, i'd settle for Stacey's legs over Trish's ass

[Y2J World Champ]

If you want to see some ass and some legs then why don't people just watch porn, simple as that. The WWE is for wrestling, it wouldn't hurt to have ass and legs from time to time but not have it take up 30 minutes of the 2 hour show and have it take up a pay per view match especially in a pay per view like summerslam.
