WWE and Tajiri Part Ways
As per WWE.com, Tajiri has seemingly amicably departed WWE.
[exposition mode: ON]
On Monday's RAW (what I will dub the Shoot episode) Tajiri made comments to the effect of "I was a superstar in ECW and I've been used for nothing much at all here." Clearly there was a tremendous amount of truth to that statement. Tajiri is a fantastic wrestler, with a ton of charisma, and WWE had countless opportunities to get him over...which they utterly failed to do.
So here's the count, as of today:
Chris Jericho -- departed, has no intention of returning anytime soon.
Christian -- departed, now a superstar in TNA.
Tajiri -- departed, returning to Japan to write a book.
The departure of Chris Benoit seems more and more inevitable.

Tajiri was a phenomenal talent. He could get over on facial expressions alone. His early WWE work with William Regal was priceless but as with so many other stars he was buried so very often that he had no chance of ever being a big name.
Yep. The list is getting bigger. Benoit's next, then who can say? I've spoken about this before, that eventually WWE would be faced with workers who no longer felt like they HAD to work in WWE or not at all. And finally, with the departure of Jericho, it's happening.
I think as their contracts come up more and more wrestlers that have taken care of themselves monetarily will start telling Vince to sod off.
I think I hear TNA's roster growing again. Pretty soon their talen will be big enought to do two hours a night. And Vince will have again created his best competition.
