Razza-ma-Tazz

As most of you probably know, Tazz has left the WWE. His contract was up, and rumor is he decided not to re-sign due to some backstage problems he had with Vince's producing style. Not that Vince would ever be mean to anyone, so we're sure this was one big misunderstanding.

Just look at that face. Totally trustworthy.

In any case, the WWE has lost a long-time wrestler and commentator and as with anyone who's spent a while in the business, there are certain things we've come to know him by that others just can't provide. So LOL, Wresslin' would like to think back on all the things that Tazz has given us over the years, as a way of saying thanks.

The Tazzmission


Get it?? It's a submission hold done by Tazz. Put the two together and what do you get? That's right - genius.

Walking out on commentary

This happened during a taping of ECW, when, to be fair, Tazz's broadcast partner Mike Adamle walked out just before the main event.

Presumably with a dude on his head.

Tazz decided that if Adamle didn't have to stay, neither did he, and walked out too. The main event didn't have any commentary, but really, did you need someone there to tell you how boring it was? Didn't think so. We think that was a smart call, Tazz.

Getting made fun of by Paul Heyman

There was a time when Tazz was an ECW legend, back when ECW sucked on its own without the WWE's help. Then Tazz came to the WWE in 1999, and soon after several injuries got behind the commentator's table. And that's where he was when the invasion began, which brought Paul Heyman into the WWE ring to cut a promo on Vince.



Towards the end, Heyman points to Tazz, whom he said once was a great wrestler, but...

...now he's a fat, little, obnoxious color commentator, and not even a good one

You're life is going wrong if Paul Heyman calls you fat, little, and obnoxious.

Tazz's Keys to Victory

This is a bit he used to do before pay-per-views. Tazz would give us a list of things wrestlers needed to accomplish to win a certain match. Being a former wrestler, it seems like the man would have some insight into in-ring strategy. Let's see some of his suggestions:

• For an "I Quit" match: Don't quit!
• For a "Buried Alive" match: Avoid the Hole.
• For a match where a chain was available for use as a weapon: Get to the chain.

Damn, what would we do without you Tazz?

Seems like we'll have a chance to find out. Wrestlemania will be Tazzless this year. We wish him the best of luck, and would like to say he's done a pretty damn good job for himself despite being named after a cartoon character.
