WWE Cruiserweight Classic: 5 Observations from the 2nd episode

#4 Tajiri returned to a warm welcome and Damian Slater impressed

Tajiri’s experience helped him beat young Damian Slater.

The ‘Japanese Buzzsaw’ Tajiri came out for his match against Damian Slater to a huge ovation from the crowd. Tajiri spent a number of years with the WWE in the 2000’s and is a former 3-time cruiserweight champion, a former light heavyweight champion, and a 2-time champion.

Even though he’s lost his speed due to his age, Tajiri can still go in the ring.

His trump card was his devastating arsenal of kicks that Slater had no answer for and he even pulled off the Tarantula, a crowd favourite before finishing Slater off with a patented Buzzsaw Kick.

Damian Slater ,on the other hand, wasn’t name a lot of people were familiar with before the CWC, but the ‘World Beater’ looked mighty impressive in defeat and pulled off a few impressive moves of his own.

He has a silky smoothness in the ring that cannot be taught and will have hoped to have impressed enough to earn a developmental contract for himself.
