5 Attitude Era superstars who should enter the WWE Hall of Fame in 2022

#3. Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Tajiri

Tajiri kicked off his WWE career in 2001 after the closure of ECW. He became WWE Commissioner William Regal's assistant before making his in-ring debut at King of the Ring that same year.

During his first year in WWE, Tajiri feuded with a few superstars, including Billy Kidman and Regal. He also won the Light Heavyweight Championship, the WCW United States Championship, and the Cruiserweight Title multiple times.

The 51-year-old also became Torrie Wilson's on-screen boyfriend during the Invasion storyline. Their segments were among the most entertaining at the time.

Tajiri continued to work in WWE after the end of the Attitude Era. He won a few more titles before leaving Vince McMahon's company in 2005.

In the past few years, the Japanese wrestler made sporadic WWE appearances. In 2016, he briefly returned to the company. Nevertheless, he left again a few months later. His last bout came in 2017 when he defeated Sean Maluta on WWE 205 Live.

There is no doubt that Tajiri deserves recognition for his contributions to WWE. Many fans still remember the Japanese star's unique style and dynamic in-ring work. WWE should seriously consider inducting the former Cruiserweight Champion into the Hall of Fame class next year.

Tajiri is still currently active in AJPW and Major League Wrestling. He is now the MLW World Middleweight Championship.
