Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - Ka wehe a Tajiri i te wehenga Cruiserweight ka neke ki te wehenga roopu roopu ka hangaia e ia nga roopu roopu, he maha o nga mea he mea whakamiharo. Ko ēnei ko Rey Mysterio, Funaki, me Rikishi. E rima rā i mua i te whakaaturanga o te Rā Whakatau o te tau 2003, ka whatiia e Chavo ona pahau, nāna a Eddie Guerrero i rapu i tētahi atu hoa. I whiriwhiria e ia a Tajiri. I wikitoria e raatau te WWE Tag Team Championship, i te Ra Whakatau ma te wikitoria i te Team Angle (Charlie Haas me Shelton Benjamin) i roto i te tukinga arawhata. I te wiki e whai ake nei, ka taea e Guerrero raua ko Tajiri te pupuri i to raua taitara ma te tinihanga. Hei taapiri, i hinga hoki a Roddy Piper me tana kaitiaki a Sean O'Haire i Madison Square Garden. Whai muri i te ngaro o Guerrero me Tajiri i nga taitara ki te Rōpū Taitara Nui o te Ao (i mua ko te Rōpū Angle) i te waahanga o te Hurae 3 o "SmackDown!", I tahuri a Guerrero ki a Tajiri, ka werohia ia e te matapihi o tana taraka lowrider. I te "SmackDown!" e whai ake nei, i whakamarama a Guerrero na te mea, i te wa o te tukinga, i patua e Tajiri tana kaikawe iti. I te SummerSlam
, I whakataetae a Tajiri i roto i te tukinga wha-ara mo te WWE United States Championship engari kaore i wikitoria i te taitara.
