of course this song describes TAZ perfectly cmon in the ORGINAL ECF'NW he was literaliy a war machine nobody was safe when he was in the ring and he did like dropping people on their necks my god so vicious taz was
This is maybe one of the best wrestling themes ever. Who can forget how insane the fans got when this music went up and Taz came out and cleared the ring of Jerry Lawler, Sabu, & RVD without even doing anything but just walking his bad ass self to the ring.
Heyman may have been a horrible financial person but some of his storylines were epic. The build up for Taz/Sabu was one of the most intense rivalries wrestling has ever seen. Glad ECW was huge in the 90's and I grew up watching it.
@chootech2 Taz stopped wrestling because of mounting injuries. He never rehabbed his neck and age caught up with him. If he was still an active wrestler he probably would have left WWE quicker than he did.
@MrTantraMan That's because he was a Amateur Wrestling Champion and a Dan in Judo. He and Perry Saturn were the top trainers at ECW's Wrestling School too.
Every Time I hear the opening of this song, I think of Team Taz and the Path of Rage as Taz destroyed wrestlers all across ECW to set the stage for his match against Sabu at the ECW Barely Legal Pay Per View.
@101LegendKiller Actually I think they used the actual "War Machine" for a short period as well. They mucked around with his themes a bunch between 1995 and 1996.
Taz was amazing in ECW, and early in his WWF career.
Sadly he can't work due to his repeated neck injuries. I'd imagine a mangerial role in TNA is much better than being verbally abused by Vinnie Mac down a headset as most of the WWE commentators attest to having done to them.
Also TNA throw money at anyone with name value. Apparently Foley cost them to axe alot of the X Division!
Foley joining TNA had nothing to do with axing the X Division. TNA has brought in more X Div guys than its let go. Foley also gave TNA more money than they gave him. Foley invested A LOT of money into TNA.Also Spike chips in with the bigger name stars. TNA has spent a lot of money also on new Knockouts.
Taz will manage and doing announcing in TNA. And I'd bet money at some point he gets back into the ring on special occasion. TNA has a way of healing people. Kurt Angle is born again in TNA.
It was just Taz (one z) in ECW. He was forced to go with 2 z's in WWF/WWE because they feared a lawsuit with Warner Brothers over the Tazmanian Devil character. He is just Taz to those in the know...
This personafies Tazz perfectly. Nothing flashy just a straight forward, smash-mouth, kick ass, take no prisoners. It's a wonder why WWE hasn't given him a DVD. I understand he didn't do much in WWE but he ruled ass in ECW for years.
Its funny how hes on a trademark Taz handshake deal with Jeff Jarrett. The same deal he had with paul Heyman. this is till his 90 days no compete clause expires. So Taz is pretty much on an TNA Fuck The Wwe(FTW) contract lol :)
Who's gonna stop me? Not that punk Austin or that punk Goldberg not even Mike Tyson can stop me. I am Taz the FTW World Champion, beat me if you can..survive if I let you.
back then i liked the kiss version of war machine. but as time went by i started liking this version even better than the kiss version. and god i hated his last version so much.
yup, 100% correct...idk his ecw themes were much better than the wwf/e ones, i mean the first one he had was legit, but the rap one that he used until his retirment is just eh idk? lol
There's another version of his theme I've been dying to find...It was used just before this one IIRC (could have been just after,was around the same time) Started out with the Beastie Boys "No Sleep Til' Brooklyn" then went into an Instrumental of War Machine.Used to go to all the ECW house shows here in MA and I've heard it several times in person.
No, this is a "War Machine" remix done by Harry Slash & The Slashtones, most likely needed to dub over to KISS's War Machine on ECW Tapes and whatnot..
I have been looking for this version. Thanks for posting it.
