[Silkk]

Promo Game 10

 

[The Rainmaker]

Absolute legend.

TAKA is coming

motherfukker

 

[OmegaK2099]

 

[boriquaking]

Was coming in to post this

 

[Superkick Party]

TAKA IS COMING

MOTHERfukkER

Easily a 8.5 for me

 

[Heelish]

King constantly playing this back during the Rumble and going “Doink!” when TAKA’s head bounced

 

[El Guapo]

He would be more appreciated if he was in WCW. He was like the only good cruiserweight in WWF for awhile.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

He would be more appreciated if he was in WCW. He was like the only good cruiserweight in WWF for awhile.

Your disrespeck of Essa Rios will not be tolerated here, sir.

 

[El Guapo]

Your disrespeck of Essa Rios will not be tolerated here, sir.

No disrespect for Essa Rios

I’m talking about Taka having to face the likes of Brian Christopher and a bunch of no names before Kai En Tai showed up.

He could’ve been lighting it up with Rey, Eddy, Juvi, Malenko, Psychosis, and the rest of the WCW cruiserweights

 

[mrken12]

He dislocated his shoulder too.
