Getting in the ring with Taz in ECW was just total suicide...much like it was when Brock lesnar was at the top of his game in WWE...it was a form of punishment....Taz was the greatest ECW champ ever
So Tazz is basically a short muscular man who makes a career off of wrapping himself around other men while wearing a leotard...how does this make him a badass again?
Hello there looking for anyone with any links or leads to the original ECW Hat Guy., Sign guy or Faith No More guy. ? Please get in touch with me at my name mccoisty84. Even if it is a vague link get in touch. Even stories on them too.
@giannaluva65 the new is ECW is like RAW or SMACKDOWN, and it sucks ass now because they all have the same format, the old ECW was know for the carnage, and it should have stayed like that, Vince you suck balls!!!
This is a little bit off topic, but I find it funny how Tajiri kayfabes his English. Becuse he pretends that he doesn't understand or speak very much English, but in reality he speaks it perfectly XD
Tazz and Tajiri are like two of the toughest guys in the business but because they don't look tall and muscley they were made to look like average little guys. ECW was brilliant because it showed a wrestlers true worth in the ring.
this is THE ecw, and i hate the new one, but it isnt vince mcmahon in charge of everything! it is a public company, and thus has shareholders. on top of that it was a ghood idea to start with, but it went tits up when theecw originals involved started acting like dicks! sabu has lost all his talent and composure, sandman has MANY problems, rvd not his fault but his missus is ill, and tazz is a backsatbbing tna bummer.
You make a good point then say dumb shit by saying the originals started acting like dicks.
Sabu never really had talent he was a hardcore highflyer, he left because his contract was up or he wanted to get realesed from it because WWE wasnt using him right.
Sandman got fired because of Jimmy Snuka talking about him smoking.
RVD left after Vince won the ECW title because he was smart and knew where ECW was gonna go.
Tazz left becasue he put up with the fake ECW long enough
i have never seen a person use the ropes as well as tajiri and super crazy. they truly were the best. and taz wasnt really a bad ass. did any body ever here about the time that rvd bitch slapped him in the locker room and taz didnt do anything
That's just a rumor from New Jack. But New Jack's a liar from time to time. New Jack said he'd never go to work for Vince McMahon either. But he received a tryout with them 5 years ago. He just didn't show up because he had warrants. He was originally supposed to be the guy that stabbed Cena in the "Nightclub" storyline. The guy starts rumors like nobody nowadays.
In that case I am glad that New Jack did not come to the WWE. The guy that stabbed Cena wound up getting destroyed by Cena; then I never saw him again. It would've been a shame to see New Jack have to job like that.
maybe for the fact that taz actually has more class to not strike back like a little baby and show some sort of respect for the fact that he was one of ecw's main performers and leaders in the locker room. but im certain in a certain way taz wouldve not let that happen twice and would destroy rvd.
Continued: Tajiri left WWE on very good terms and competed at WWE's ECW One Night Stand 2006, teaming with Super Crazy to take on the Full Blooded Italians (F.B.I.) in a losing effort.
It is rumoured that Tajiri has been asked to return to WWE at least twice now but has turned down the offers on both occasions.
In Dec 2005 Tajiri left WWE. With his contract expiring on December 12, he decided he wanted to try to become a journalist and spend more time with his wife and family in Japan. His final televised WWE match was a loss to Gregory Helms on HEAT, at the conclusion of which he received a standing ovation.
I've never seen him cut one by himself, but he's done a few with Booker T and Chris Benoit back in the day. He called Booker T's hair "buckwheat on crack" and when he spoke to Benoit he spoke in Japanese and Benoit replied back in english like a normal conversation lol.
But according to Chris Masters from a shoot interview, Tajiri speaks fluent English lol.

true, least he appreicates ecw for the job, and he is even the commentator for the brand, even wrestled at one of the ONS's...some former ecw pple dont appreciate it
wrestlers like to get payed. thats not being a sell-out. ECW had so many money problems that a lot of guys were not getting payed as often as they were supposed to. going to WWE for a few hundred grand... i think thats smart not selling out
