God damn would I love a push to be given to Yoshi. He is just like santino, a ball of pure fun and energy, there is absolutely nothing dislikable about the guy. He has been in WWE for long enough that they can start really using him now, he's paid his dues so to speak and it is time for a hint of a payoff. Not only that but he hasn't put a foot wrong, he has wrestled just great and played his part to a tee, for me it is purely hopeful, but I want to see the guy start to get pushed into an evan bourne position ie have him seen more or less weekly on raw in unimportant matches and positions.
For me the plum in the pudding was when jericho had his contemperate version of his famous man of 1004 holds promo, he was listing good opponents he had beaten and in that list he named yoshi tatsu, go back and listen if ya like. But this to me, unless chris jericho couldn't think of any more names, means that he considers tatsu somewhat of a good opponent worthy of mentionning... of course from his japanese days.
He has the likeability underdog factor already just like taka mikinouchu did in the first light-heavyweight championship match, and ability to make something more of himself than he is given, he just needs a push now. So I do hope your right Mr. thread maker.
