Better Wrestler #40

It's a pity he wasn't properly used in the World Wrestling Federation. With the exception of his program with Lawler and what he did on on MTV's "Tough Enough", he was completely misused. They turned that man into a jobber, then a mediocre commentator on what was at that time Vince's B-rated show. Just another victim.

Same here. I bought the barbwire in the mouth bit with Tajiri soooooo hard. Taz just seemed like a legitimate badass.

I got to see him live once and he wrestled Sabu in a "non-sanctioned FTW Title match" whatever that means. Got a bunch of blood on my sneakers following them around the "arena". Was insane.

First time I ever saw Taz lose a match too, but I love every bit of his work.

Raven was cool as hell too, but his matches were usually pretty boring for me in ECW. I loved his stuff in WCW and Raven had my favorite Goldberg match of all time for the US Title. His promos were pretty great too.

Still, Taz all the way.
