Jonathan Coachman certainly had an interesting first run with WWE!

#3 Tajiri

Tajiri was unable to defeat Jonathan Coachman at Backlash 2004

Backlash 2004 saw Chris Benoit retain his World Heavyweight Championship in a 30-minute WrestleMania XX rematch against Shawn Michaels and Triple H – and it also saw Jonathan Coachman face Tajiri.

By this point, “The Coach” had been involved in five matches in his career (two wins, three losses) and he was in noticeably better shape than he was seven months earlier in his battles against Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross.

The build-up to the match centred around Tajiri spraying Green Mist in Coachman’s face on Raw, which prompted the announcer to cost “The Japanese Buzzsaw” in a match the following week against Christian.

At Backlash, Coachman was fortunate enough to have Garrison Cade by his side to throw a cheap right hand at Tajiri when the referee wasn’t looking, allowing the announcer to roll his opponent up for a shock 1-2-3 victory.

It's been so long since we've seen Tajiri. Even his return in 2017 beginning was a one-off appearance and he left right after to Japan.
