Yoshi Tatsu using Michinoku Driver

Yoshi Tatsu recently got heat with one of WWE agents for using Michinoku Driver as finisher.

According to his official blog, he used the maneuver in tribute to the people of the Michinoku region (northeastern Japan), where the massive earthquake and tsunami hit back in March.

So was the problem the move? Or was someone else using it in WWE at the time?

Without permission, he used a different finisher, not his usual spin kick finisher. Doesn't say who the agent he was talking about is. Few days later, he used the Driver later in the match (but not probably as the finisher), and another agent said something like, "why hadn't you never used it in the past?"

Hmm...Honestly, I think the Michinoku Driver is a great move. He's not too small like Taka was, so using it on a WWE guy would be a good idea I think. He could still use his kick for guys like Kane or other super heavy weights. I like Yoshi Tatsu. I think he's terribly underutilized. If you've ever seen his twitter posts, the guy is hilarious!
