Taz is known for his success in ECW and WWE and has been part of AEW’s commentary team for few years. He was also an active in-ring competitor in WWE but that didn’t last long and now Taz has clapped back at a fan who accused him of having resentment towards WWE.
When Taz made his WWE debut at the 2000 Royal Rumble, fans were thrilled to see him. He faced Kurt Angle in his first match and won. However, Taz’s time in WWE ended up disappointing many.
Vince McMahon stopped pushing him in the early 2000s after receiving several complaints about him. By the 2001 Royal Rumble, Taz was eliminated in just ten seconds. Taz effectively hung up his boots in WWE back in 2002, with the exception of his match against Jerry Lawler at ECW One Night Stand 2006.
A fan took to Twitter and accused Taz of holding resentment towards WWE. Taz didn’t take kindly to the accusation as he explained that this isn’t true at all. He pointed out that WWE actually gave him a new career as a commentator, something he still enjoys doing today.
“ZERO resentment. Why would you even say something like that? It’s so inaccurate… You don’t know me. And the thing you need to realize is they offered me a whole new career opportunity which I’m still doing today as a color commentator. So you’re dead wrong.”
As for Taz right now, he is currently recovering after undergoing double knee surgery. Regardless, Taz simply had to make it clear he has no resentment towards his former employer and fans respect him for this clarification.
