The Human Suplex Machine Taz

[darealprince99]

my gosh he is such a good technical wrestler. He could take most guys in the wwe in a real fight. Why did he only start doing announcing?

[sa213able]

a human suplex machine indeed i wish he had a great successor

[dbgetchapull13]

hey bro you did great on this best on i have seen yet. keep up the good work ftw 4life

[yonkersracing]

this was when wrestling was good, WAR old ECW

[manowaraxbjj]

one of the cool's judo wrestlers ever you can see it 0:16 seoi nage 1:54 harai goshi 7:28 o soto gari

[NdotDiggity]

Taz was the shiiiit!

[UKDannyBoyy91]

Shame he had to retire so soon cause of his injurys all these years we could of saw him wrestle its a shame this guy was deadly look at those suplexs they landed on there bloody neck sabu neck broke cause of taz....this guy was deadly.

[MyNameIsNotBrad]

Daaaaaaaaaayum, yo. I grew up watchin' this nigga throw muhfuckas around. "Beat me if you can . . . survive if I let'chu" was some gangsta shit for a catchphrase. And then you turn on TNA and it's so fuckin' sad to listen to him now. Smh.

[Live4Ever329]

taz was so badass back in ecw. I cant even watch him now

[hamlet85227]

FTW

[CMpunkWWEchampion]

Sorry I accidentally pressed the button dislike :C

But Tazz Rocks!!!

[bobolink222]

for me, there are only two freaks of nature ever to wrestle in pro wrestling...one is brock lesnar and the other is tazz/taz.......

[Gatz22]

@bobolink222 U r my friend for life!!!

[BigBossDaddy175]

TAZ THAT IS TAZ WITH 1 Z .. ECW TAZ ORANGE AND BLACK ATTACK TAZ

[Rlotpir1972]

I DON'T NEED NO WEAPONS, MY HANDS ARE MY WEAPONS.

[Arvidoos]

No one could touch Tazz back in the day

[Patrickshe2eyME]

i worship this video

[Realestrap]

good vid.. shouldve left the original soundtrack tho

[ECWcoreyECW]

@Realestrap Thanks, i'm glad you liked it. I had to get rid of the original sound because of all the chants and Joey Styles saying "Oh My God!" over 30 times during the video. I like Styles but that's too many OMGs in just 10 minutes, lol.

[RetrOKiiD22]

- at 4:08 thats a NASTY ASS SUBMISSION.!!

[LaneD83]

@RetrOKiiD22 That's exactly what I said, you know what it's called?

[svc1494]

dude in 0:56 did he actually suplex two people at the same time??? shit thats badass

[ECWcoreyECW]

@svc1494 Yes, he did. They didn't call Taz the "Human Suplex Machine" for nothing.

[mci181]

Taz was truly epic; especially in matches against the "rat pack" of the biz (jericho, malenko, saturn, guerrero, benoit). I kinda miss Benoits' in-ring abilities, I wish he wasn't such a psycho.

[TRD112233]

Samoa Joe is the only guy who can continue the legacy of Human Sluplex Machine.........but there will never be a TAZMANIAC again.....

[twistidtimmer]

taz has to be in my top five wrestlers of all time

[elvisto75]

Taz is actually a 2nd degree blackbelt in judo,and was a champion wrestler in high school and college. I used to have a copy of one of the goodwill games( an olympic style event on tbs in the late 80's that Taz actually competed in and won a gold medal in judo. I met him and Rob Van Dam when they came to Birmingham back in 97. They were both really cool, and laid back.

[MNWreckingCrew]

@elvisto75 Thank you. I was getting tired of being the only one on here defending how much of a legit badass Taz is. Kudos to you fine sir.

[RitaBookBeyotch]

GREAT video

[DukeRainey]

@ 5:25 that was a nice Gargoyle Suplex from the top rope on Tajiri

[bigoz169]

will the real tazz come the fuck back!!! shit you dont have to wrestle just be yourself how you was back then with that I dont give a fuck attitude. heres an idea manage somoa joe and a couple others like him and make them even more foul mouth, meaner and intimidating than you were and I guarantee you will own wrestling. beacuase I am sure we all agree on one thing this pussy tazz aint working.

[summerof1994]

Taz- Not a dude that you wanna fuck with lol

[bteocean08]

in all honesty if you are or were ever a fan of wrestling you have to love this man..Tazz is animal

[RefugeeLcci]

Awesome VID!! thx for puttn this together

[crazyoney2k]

i prefer his overhead german release

[IkaikaLocS]

Taz was da bestes, who got arrested by a lot of cops first on wrestling? The human suplex machine TAZ. wwe stole Taz's persona and gave it to stone cold, what a waste.....

[kakuichi]

Thanks for the memories of the true taz in ecw. I was hoping to see some great matches between him & angle, but of course wwe ruined any chances of that. I was hoping to see footage of the taz/shane doughlas rivalry. I still have the image of the franchise's broken jaws spitting up blood all over the place (good times). oh well, now thanks to this vid I feel like tracking down some of his matches, especially the RVD stuff. damn neck injuries!

[IkaikaLocS]

@kakuichi I heard that taz and angle had an olympic style wrestling match a long time ago and that taz won. Idk if its true or not or if it was a tie but that would of been awesome to see

[milkterd1]

didnt realise how awesome tazz was until now

[Sicangulakotaponca]

The LAST True Wrestler.

[MrRoylatham]

TAZ FTW!

[kelkora]

Taz neck injury was the worst thing to happen to wrestling during the attiude era

[LegendKiller1fan]

5 people got suplexed and tapped out like little bitches

Taz 13 FTW

[raddog223]

Its funny because ecw had bigger crouds then tna has ever had

[antisoc1al]

What type of suplex does he do at 6:11? Front Arm & Leg suplex?

[ECWcoreyECW]

@antisoc1al It's called a Capture suplex.

[seancarletonzero]

@ECWcoreyECW or a Capture Taz Plex if you prefer

[KillAll187]

@antisoc1al On the smackdown games it's called a capture suplex. In ECW, Joey Styles called it a high-cradle tazplex.

[Anarchylotb]

@antisoc1al That move is called a High Cradle Taz-plex

[Anarchylotb]

I believe the technical name for the move IS capture suplex, however Taz called it the High Cradle Tazplex in ECW

[Mastabatter24]

@antisoc1al it's also known as the "Cradle Suplex"

[ECWcoreyECW]

Why are people still answering a question that i answered correctly over 5 months ago? Type in Capture Suplex on Wikipedia for a description of the correct suplex. (can't post links here for some reason)

[WCW112233]

5 WWE PG fan hit dislike button :O

[ECWcoreyECW]

@WCW112233 I noticed that too. I guess after watching the video and seeing that Taz was better back in the day then half the WWE roster is right now, they felt that they had to 'Stand Up' for WWE... LOL.

[BROO666]

6:11 was amazing i miss this company the real ECW

[xjcms]

love the judo on chris jericho , i actually started taking kempo karate cause tazz did.

[jamal2021]

my favorite suplexes are all made by tazz.

[jamal2021]

@hardtohit yeah, he was in the top 5 for the strongest hips, but the legs were in the top 50 out of like 500.

[amenra4u]

that was some awesome clips....back then I felt that there wasnt a wrestler alive that could beat Tazz....he was unstoppable.

[AdamzKlaw]

Fuck John Cena....Taz had the best "thug life" gimmick in wrestling

[wwfreak1994]

4:28 looks like tazz hit his neck in the railing

[juggaloskorpio]

@wwfreak1994 that's cuz he did

[lionofct]

WWE/WWF and Vince really facked over the wrestling world when they took over ECW. No real gimmicks, just hard-arsed wrestling. E-C-Dub!

[darong619]

Tazz made ECW, he needs to wrestle again besides be a commentor at the TNA table

[VoiceActorDreamer]

Taz suplexing Bam Bam Bigelow at 4:28 is unbelievable. Bam Bam looked like he was twice Taz's height and twice his weight and still Taz throws him around like a sack of potatoes.

[ECWcoreyECW]

Yes, that was "Dr. Death" Steve Williams.

[ChuckSC6568]

@ECWcoreyECW Ummm...no. That was NOT "Dr. Death" Steve Willimas. That was Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy of the Fabulous Freebirds and a frequent tag team partner of Dr. Death in Japan.

[ECWcoreyECW]

@ChuckSC6568 Ummm... yes. That IS "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Search ECW - Taz & Brian Lee V Dr Death & Tommy Dreamer to see the match, Joey Styles even said it's him in the video.

Next time get your facts straight before you comment!

[ChuckSC6568]

@ECWcoreyECW I stand corrected! 

[zzDzCzCzz]

Those were the DAYS!!! Tazz was the original tough SOB of wrestling!!!

[b1ggbyrd]

SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!!!!!

[INFITAIN]

All live from the 215 in South Philly. This is as real as it gets

[MrSilentJ]

IVE NEVER SEEN TWO PEOPLE GET THAT AT ONCE NICE

[shiningwizard327]

Taz was so sick!

[TheArtificiallyMade]

Taz was bad ass, and the butterfly superplex is my favorite move but over all suplexes in general are my favorite type of moves.

[Muyo365]

You will never have another Taz. They outlawed Suplex in the WWE and I never seen any TNA matches. But Taz and the ECW will live on forever in my dreams and youtube. Taz, the human Suplex Machine!!

[hello11197]

The Tazmaniac.....

[Plaguechild258]

Lol at the advert for summerslam at the start of the video. No thanks I'd rather watch a Justin Beiber concert

[xXxryanmccarthyxXx]

taz should be in the hall of fame in 2011

[4EVERNWO]

TAZZZZZZZZZZZMITION THE SUPLEX MACHINE TAZZZ-

[TheUndertakerSaysRIP]

fuck...taz is dangerous ....so brutal

[lukeThug]

i cant believe KISS is singing this! UNREAL! CLASS!

Tazz is Gonna Kill You ;)

[MadMarSkee]

Took up Judo because of this guy, Thanks Taz!

[zruckus]

Ahhh man those were some good times!  Loved watching those guys perform!

[theberry06]

tazz is the man

[astrophysics1997]

@greenmean666 You have to remember, Tazz is a nuclear warhead compared to Kurt Angle. A gold medal can't smash through steel.

[greenmean666]

kurt angle was scarred of taz. an Olympic gold medalist feared him. thats how bad ass he really was.

[dhlfh]

taz tough guy image was a sham,he was bad mouthing rvd in the ecw locker room saying he was gonna kick his ass and rob went up to him and slapped him in the face and taz did nothing..

[younghiphopsoul]

reminds me of those good ole days when ecw came on on friday nights. man i miss those days.

[gabrielo03]

he was the human suplex machine but the thing is that most of the wrestlers landed awkwardly hard on their necks. Something to think about,

[AshJuggalo]

Thanks, great vid.

TAZ IS GOD.

[TheChapelx]

What the hell was that move at 2:16 called?

[Referee001uk]

@TheChapelx looked like a variation of the longbow backbreaker submission

[showstopper316]

taz = the real war machine

[theheat151]

5:04-5:30 is my favorite suplex.

[goldenvision63]

Thats good wrasslin! Taz was the man!

[milinski]

Tazmission! oh man I miss those ol' Tazmission-plexes!

[youngron707]

yee no shyt. he perfected the plex

[TheUndertakerSaysRIP]

I enjoyed tazz very much!

[ibaitxotxo]

Gary Albright is the real suplex machine.

[ECWcoreyECW]

He was pretty good but not better than Taz.

[youngron707]

you know whats sad...

the WWE currently making Edge's "spear" look like some kinda bad ass move. give me a break.

then you look at original ECW clips like yours and to realize Vince killed it, and started some bullshyt called NXT.

my point...

Taz plex was/is way more effective, looks cooler, and takes more talent than Edges spear

[ShootEncylopedia]

@ECWcoreyECW your right Taz was better then Gary Albright I would have loved to see them in a match in ECW

[JuliusC1973]

@ibaitxotxo Scott Steiner was better than Gary Albright. Scott Steiner invented suplexes in 1989 that wrestlers are still using today.

[Imadjinn]

Nice video. Shame he's a jokey haha commentator for a second rate wrestling company now.

[chibiuk]

what! hes back on raw?!

[mrseed76]

Taz was a badass in ECW, when he showed up in WWF/WWE, they "pussified" him. Triple H i think was to blame, he used his politics to make taz look wimpy, because he wants to be the only one in WWE who is a 10+ time world champion. if the wwe would have let Taz debut and stay his original ECW form, he would pwn all the WWE wrestlers.

[jj1only]

Damn right!

[Gearsosolid]

@mrseed76

no doubt about it

[TreyNElliot]

@mrseed76 i totally agree man! Triple H was probably the cause of it, getting his way by screwing the chairman's daughter. I think if he didn't do that, he wouldnt be the superstar he is today. Also, Taz was fuckin beast!!! lol

[anthonytd103]

@mrseed76 Same with Scott Steiner but Steiner thrives in feds like WCW and TNA though.

[TheOrangeIsThirsty]

TAZ FTW 13

[dannielpreto]

Man Taz was slamming all these big guys and he was kind of short that's one of the reasons I liked him, cause back then I was the short guy too and to see him be so badass was good LOL I miss ECW LOL so many great matches

[naqeeeeeeeeb]

the first wrestler in this clip who got slammed by Tazz was Umaga

[ECWcoreyECW]

That was not Umaga... that was the late "Flyboy" Rocco Rock of The Public Enemy.

[Gigas0101]

@ECWcoreyECW the facepaint and jersey made me think violent J, thanks for straightening that out.

[kamikazekopec]

No it wasn't it was Rocco Rock from Public Enemy

[trey187123]

@naqeeeeeeeeb idiot

[jj1only]

Taz was definitely more than just a "suplex machine," he was one of the most technically sound wrestlers ever! He also helped bring credibility to the shorter wrestlers (Along with Rey Mysterio and others)

[kevinisWAVYDC]

Taz , [i dislike " Tazz " ]

was by far a total beast in the ring .

[theboywhowrites]

I agree. The company targets little kids now, with gimmicks like John Cena to be the hero, and get his ass whooped but never give up and win after doing the same old five dumbass moves. It's all watered-down and PG now. And advertisements EVERYWHERE. DX and Cena have new shirts every two weeks :( I miss the good old days.

[googlymoogly16]

Once linda loses her senate race then hopefully WWE will get a little better. They won't have to worry about upsetting some old guy with "family values" in washington

[BURNINGHAMMER76]

i dont think that is the only reason the wwe has gone pg. I believe they feel it is more profitable to target kids because mma has taken away a lot of their older audience

[Plaguechild258]

the best technical wrestler by far. too bad his career was cut short

[Csendesmi]

who is the guy at 0:11 ?

[ECWcoreyECW]

That is the late "Flyboy" Rocco Rock, from the old tag team The Public Enemy.

[drew4204201]

Taz is a MONSTER!

[Stinger4Lyfe]

Classic shyt. I miss the hell out of the original ECW.

I dont think its something you really understand unless you are they in person. Taking nothing away from anyone who might followed on TV...

I remember visiting family in Philly and honestly had never heard of it when my cousin was trying to get me to go. I laughed about i think....

But then being there in person is crazy. I dont care who you are....No way to walk away from that and not be an ECW fan for life.

[Kerbalf]

This has to be the best Tazz vid EVER !!

[jimwest19]

tazz is a ecw suplex machhine

[TLC187]

taz was the man in ecw they spent 4 years building hm for an ecw wolrd title reign and it was worth the wait thats something you do nt see these days in wrestling

[chuninofcool]

The mood just changed when Tazz suplexed your ass out of your boots.

[iamdalibor]

0:56 double suplexes never saw that before. ECW & Tazz was awesome. He is indeed the suplex maching lol

[AMF4]

he is one of my favorite ECW guys of all times

[lazrpo1nt3r]

2:56 4:09 What the fuck? A man of that stature can do shit like that!?!

[ECWcoreyECW]

To answer your question... Yes! Taz could do some amazing things for his size and he had the best bridges in pro wrestling.

[codeep123]

make that the best SUPLEXES on the PLANET !!!!!

[thatcrazybiatch]

did tazz ever injure anyone?

those german suplexs where he flips them over are soooo dangerous looking, my favourite suplex :P just looks soo easy to get wrong and break the guys neck :O lol

[ajbguy03]

at 3:42 he breaks Sabu's neck, other then that I don't remember him injuring anyone

[DeidaraXL]

he broke an fighter dude's neck before challenging Paul Varlans

[recycledreject]

im sure there was a ton of concussions going around

[azaproc]

believe it...right in front of your eyes

[AMF4]

yes all about leverage man

[Gigas0101]

@lazrpo1nt3r Taz had the most terrifying core strength of all time. His early retirement was a blow to wrestling as a sport and a form of entertainment.

[TheGrimLoller]

Tazz can counter almost anything into a submission, that's nasty.

[chuninofcool]

The mood is about to change from normal to extreme.....

[ukcat54]

Taz is so bad ass. He's had some pretty kick ass music during his career as well.

[EcDuBfoLiFe]

That was a great tribute Taz was the man

[zombiesrule765]

this was the best shit, throwing people threw tables, now its boring and theres no action. and everyone is either quiting or switching brands. im watching the underground stuff now, hell of alot more action

[rellik4life]

Taz in his prime could beat anyone in my opinion.

[ljb265]

It's funny, there are people who comment on other videos (Sabu vs. Cena Lumberjack match) who say the WWE could beat the Original ECW. Apparently they haven't watched these highlights.

[cablepiratez]

Benoit broke Sabu's neck thats why he was the canadian crippler....never saw the match vs Doc Death...I'm going to look for that now...thanks

[ChoujiMan]

People just don't wrestle like this anymore...

[JuliusC1973]

@ChoujiMan Davey Richards does. You're going to have to start going to Ring of Honor Shows, then you will see what I mean. Davey does not play.

[YungArsine]

ooooh Shit @ 3:03-3:09 Damn!!

[kefkaroth]

yup now THATS ECW not that brand that likes to steal names and buy off other people's hard work.

[darqsaint]

Why doesn't anybody seem to include the "no sleep till brooklyn" version of the Taz theme in these compilations? That one was one of my favorites!

[virtuouszero]

Taz could destroy you in so many ways, I use to love the Taz and RVD matches, but Taz has never beaten RVD btw

[kefkaroth]

actually taz has beaten rvd in their feuds in 96. rvd didnt finally beat taz until he was leaving for wwf/e in late 99.

[maquina6sigma]

this guy really rocks!!! he WAS awesome!! I haven't seen any one as good as him, as mad and pissed as him before or after...part of the old school but much much rude...taz rocks!!

[MrPhenomenal7]

AHMEN!!!!!!!!!!

im so sick of only the huge muscled up wrestlers with no talent getting all the fame! Batista and John Cena are prime examples! Of course theyre light years ahead of how awful they use to be but still, wrestlers like william regal and chris jericho could wrestle circles around em! but alas this is the way of wrestling now a soap opera with very little good wrestling. hey thats just my opinion tho! anyone who likes to tune in to see body builders on the guiding light go ahead!

[elsueno182]

Neck injury suffer during a tag match against malenko and and benoit(?). He was Double team pile driven into the mat and hes head bent backwards. Add to that all the nagging injuries he suffer in ecw.

[cky3000]

it was malenko and 2 cold scorpio he was facing when he injured his neck. i cant remember but i think scorpio might have been the one who dropped him

[xxdnicexx19]

wrestling at its best great video!!!

[carlossigmapi]

taz's injuries made him a commentator, not vince

[SadistSicko]

It was an eye injury, wasnt it?

[StylesisTNA]

multiple injuries is what I heard.

[ofs82]

Taz has been commentating since 1995; from ECW Enter The Sandman Joey Styles brought in guest commentator Peter Senerca to commentate on the Malenko-Guerrero series of matches, partially to give himself some free air in a half-hour-plus match with no extracurriculars. The main thing, however, was to get Taz over as a legit threat, showing his knowledge of complicated submissions and emphasising his amateur wrestling and judo skills. Styles would then reveal Taz at the end of the matches;

[ofs82]

this was the main transition from Tazmaniac to the Taz we all came to know and love from '95 to '99.

[RockaZtubeHD]

The thing is... We just need Taz back!

[chepe16]

F'n awesome video! TAZ was the best, F'n WWE screwed him over. Hopefully the rumors are true that he'll be in TNA.

[petergriffin0007]

he debuted today. they made his debut suck!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrPhenomenal7]

i agree

they should of made him like this taz

instead they had him come out in the big goofy shades and talking like WWE taz....i was half expecting Michael Cole to start talking half the time...

[Helmo23]

Thank you

[linus614]

damnit, i hate t.n.a but i'll have to watch it just for taz and shane douglas now

[ECWNET]

Raven?

[Carlnj74]

I hate the WWE for cutting Taz' balls off as a wrestler then a color commentator. Fuck Vince McMahon.

[DeidaraXL]

FVM

fuck Vince Mcmahon

treating the ECW & WCW originals like shit

[TreyNElliot]

"Survive if i let you."

-Tazz

Nice release Tiger Suplex
