If Taz ever left AEW to go back to WWE, I'd hope he'd be teamed up with Michael Cole. Those two had amazing chemistry.

Colt Cabana and Ace Steel, along with guys like Necro Butcher, really helped put over my local indy promotion here. And they just hung out w the wrestlers and fans after the shows. That was a really fun time.

Taz introduced tap outs in prowrestling. Prior to that is you did a rear naked choke it was illegal. That's why angle got his loss overturned lol
@hahajones
@hahajones 13 күн бұрын
Tazz didn’t introduce tap outs. They were not as common, but wrestlers have tapped out almost as long as wrestling has been around. This is a stupid comment with dozens and dozens of videos on this platform showing tap outs for decades before Tazz started wrestling.

Talking about merch sells and influencing the Elite you should have putt Matt Cardona on the list. As Zak Rider he put himself over via videos on the internet and that was unheard of by that time. Some years later the Elite used exactly those kinds of videos to hype up AEW before it started.

How about Virgil , Barry Horowitz or even Brooklyn Brawler ? What I mean by this is anyone can be a superstar , even if it's a blink and you'll miss it moment . What I mean by this is anyone can be influnencial how about when Wimbledon toppled the mighty Liverpool at the 1988 FA Cup Final with Lawrie Sanchez scoring the only goal and John Aldrige being the first man to miss a penalty kick in Wembley Stadium ever .
