Pro wrestling veteran Taz recently refuted a belief as a fan claimed that the AEW star held resentment towards his former employer.
On social media, ‘The Human Suplex Machine’ shut down the belief and explained that it wasn’t true. He further said that WWE gave him a new career as a color commentator which he still enjoys.
Taz made his impactful debut in WWE during the 2000 Royal Rumble. He faced Kurt Angle in his debut and emerged victorious. But his run with WWE was short-lived. Mounting injuries cut short his in-ring career and he went on to become a color commentator for WWE shows. He eventually decided to hang up his boots and embrace the new role. In 2019, he joined All Elite Wrestling as a commentator and he is enjoying his run with the promotion.
Taz has been on the sidelines. Before the fifth anniversary of AEW Dynamite, he announced that that he’d be stepping from his role as an announcer as he was set to undergo total knee replacement surgery. After his surgery, the former ECW star also provided an update on his health. His last appearance before hiatus took place at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam when Hook officially retired the FTW Championship.
This is not the first time the legend has responded to a fan on social media. Previously, he fired back at a fan who claimed WWE saved his career.
