Yoshi Tatsu appeared on NXT tonight sporting half of his hair now dark red and face-paint. Here are some photos;

I like it. What he is doing currently wasn't having any impact because he was rarely on anything other than NXT or Superstars. Maybe with this slightly altered gimmick he can finally make it as a regular on RAW or Smackdown.

I reckon this gimmick is amazing. I love the look, the gimmick will work so well being a 'Warrior'.

He's been feuding with Tyson Kidd on NXT lately.

He was Bryan Saxton's Rookie and Tyson Kidd was a PRO for Lucky Cannon.

Saxton ditched Tatsu and went heel, Lucky Cannon got eliminated and then Kidd became a pro for Saxton. Something like that, they've been feuding for a while...

Guess it gives them something because Smackdown writers are too stupid to give them a SD Match.

I really like the new look too, it reminds a bit of the Great Muta, it adds a bit of spark as well as mysituqe and really he does not need to change what he is doing in ring that much to adapt. I have not seen too much of him as a wrestling, just bits and pieces, but from what I have seen, he seems a solid guy, and maybe this change can just help him connect with the fans a bit more.

Uh... Andrew made it slightly more confusing so I will just go with Wade Barrett avatar dude. That kinda sucks. Anyway I dig the new look it is original. Wish they would use Yoshi more...

I like it, seems as if he is embracing his Japanese heritage further. Obviously we all knew he's Japanese, but this showcases it better than what has been shown to date. Change is often good anyway.

I think it'd work just fine if he was a face. It's just a change of look...

But seriously, as if the symbols that have been shown on NXT were for anybody else other than Tatsu. So much for it being Victor, Andrew. Jumped the gun quite a margin there :p
