RIPPA Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I honestly can't think of a single Taz match that makes me think "Oh My God!" (I didn't even realize what I did there until I was about to hit submit.) God does ECW not hold up well http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1j0rz_taz-vs-dougles-ecw-title_news

Matt D Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I'm not sure there's ever been anyone else in wrestling history so thoroughly dependent on buying into his own bullshit.
odessasteps Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 I'm not sure there's ever been anyone else in wrestling history so thoroughly dependent on buying into his own bullshit. I'd think you would say "brody."
Jingus Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 How much did he actually buy it? Watch any of his shoot interviews from his ECW period in hindsight, it's looks to me like he was working and he totally knew it. He had more shooty-graps training than your average ham-&-egger, which was all he needed to be able to sell that gimmick as successfully as he did. The one thing that really held him back (besides jokes about his height) was a lack of versatility: he basically only had two gears, Total Squash and Wild Brawl, and struggled to do well in anything else which didn't fit neatly into either of those categories.
J.T. Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 There are no Taz matches that make me go Holy Shit because he's so protected in the booking that it is totally anticlimactic. Then there's the fact that he actually drinks his own Guyana kool-aid. I do thank the guy for being one of the primary catalysts for shoot finishers and sick ass Puro suplexes reaching US shores.
