I always thought he was PR, I just learned he wasn't this year because his kid looks like Justin Bieber
Sicilians can be that complexion and the Moors did spend a lot of time in the area so its also not rare for them to have that in their ancestry
ECW Taz was that dude. "Beat me if you can... survive if I let you" one of the most fire slogans of all time. And I dont wanna hear about RVD slapping him and all that shyt because we found that out later.. I personally didn't know that in the 90s so Taz came off as a real goon
Best world champion run to watch in that era easy.
Taz on hardcore TV was must see TV.
Where every week that shyt was better than wcw and wwf combined.
I so miss that channel changing sound.
Then Joey styles comes on.
I can never find the ecw title promotion.
This shyt was that demo tho.
so i posted it as a consolation.

If not for wwf.
burying taz after taz exposed bossman in wwe workrste as complete trash.
plus exposed bossman as a brawler backstage with nO convincability.
Wwe systemically buried him.
Talking about his height. When nuffin was wrong with his height when he was owning the much larger bossman.
Taz was buried because that son In law was threatened. Plus vkm was looking to systemically raid and bury ecw. From feeling he cross promoted ecw. When ecw amplified them. Paul e was the mark we ting agent got studio54. That made all this entertainment shyt and american night life.
So burying Taz was systemic. To ruin Heyman from ever c9ming back as well. By burying all the assets. As soon as twz was rebolstered as ecw champion over Mike awesome. He was b-lined to job to Cripple ache.
fukk wwf.

They DID have him kill an undefeated at the time (I think?) Kurt Angle in his debut match, so someone backstage must have been high on him at some point. Especially with how crowded the main event scene was at the time, I really can't think of a better way to debut a guy like Taz. It's a fukking shame that Mike Awesome went to WCW instead of joining Taz in WWF, I think Awesome would have fukking killed it over there at that time, IC champion would be his bare minimum and I honestly could have seen him in the World Title scene, if he had someone like Heyman doing the talking for him. Certainly would have been better than "that 70s guy" or "the fat chick thriller", two of the worst gimmicks of all time, let alone for someone as talented as he was.

Damn, you're from Alaska?
You should do some sort of "Ask Me Anything" about that shyt. I don't think there's too many Alaskans on here
But anyway, I think Awesome went to WCW because he grew up & was good friends with Horace Hogan
Actually, I think he's Horace Hogan's cousin, if I'm not mistaken.
He probably though Horace could introduce him to Hulk & get him some stroke down there.
