I read that he wasn't challenged anymore. The new ECW played a major factor.

No Vince calling him a fat orange midget every week in his headset

he left because he wasn't allowed to say 'damn' anymore, they made him say 'darn' because its more kiddie friendly.

Really, that is the straw the broke the camel's back, not the way the buried him from day one and made him into a joke?

He loved his role as an announcer early on.

But the joke that is ECW and being on the 3rd rate show did him in. Plus his edge is lost on the WWE. If he can make a living having more fun in TNA, wouldnt you? Then he can come back in a few years.

I don't think anyone really knows. I could imagine it being because of the ceiling that was always above him. He was the #2 color guy in the company, but there is no way the company was ever going to put him ahead of Jerry Lawler. Maybe he just felt that he had peaked in his career as an announcer with the WWE?

He probably sees how the business currently is, feels he has one more run that could make a difference, Kurt heard this and finished with the we could use you ^_- comment to seal the deal.

Pretty sure its every wrestlers dream to go down as the guy that changed the business.

probly tired of all the traveling and other bullshit, who knows maybe they were just planning on replacing him and he just bowed out with a little dignity, if thats the case and it was for todd grisham, thats some bulllllll shittt , todd grisham sucks ass, even jim ross can't stand him just watch their chemistry....... too bad taz had to retire from the ring cause he was one bad m'fer in his prime in ecw.....just wasnt used right in wwe from the start .....

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did... I remember reading a story where somebody ribbed him backstage (I think it was Cole) about Adamle getting the call-up to the main commentator roster, and Tazz legitimately flipped out on him.

I think I read something about Tazz's's's's's feelings towards Adamle and WWE. I gotta go find that.

It's not that interesting. I guess he's saving his "fuck WWE... those stupid assholes" speach for his debut.

Tazz left for TNA?

(Note: This isn't one of those douche-ish "Who?" Comments. Given BDC is an ass, and I don't follow TNA that closely, I half expect this to be a lie.)

It's true KK, they've even shows his 13/FTW video on TNA already, while Samoa Joe was using the tazmission.

I also never said anything about wanting to see it. Ever since that Dondald Trump thing, I've lost all interest in watching.

Yeah, the Trump stuff was pretty weak.
