Tazz rips on Micheal Cole,WWE and More
Quote:
Tazz was this week's featured guest on the Get In The Ring radio show. To listen to the show go to
www.getinthering.tv or
www.wrestlingradionetwork.com.
- Tazz joins The Phantom and Junior on the show. Phantom immediately jokes that Michael Cole has an even fouler mouth then Tazz. Tazz jokes about Cole's sexuality and that he is 'gay by association.' Tazz then goes on to talk about working on the Sirius radio show with Cole. Phantom asks about the lack of promotion on WWE's part about the show with Tazz commenting that 'it wasn't done through WWE,' and that Kevin Dunn gave the green light for the show to go ahead. On working with Cole; 'We're proud of our chemistry, but we fight as much as husband and wife.'
- Junior asks on Tazz and Cole's relationship with the RAW team. Tazz mentions Lawler's GIR comments a few weeks ago regarding Tazz and Cole; 'it's cool,' and says that he never said a word to Lawler at Saturday Night's Main Event and vice versa. He says the perception is 'changing rapidly,' of Smackdown being the secondary show. Tazz says 'it pisses me off' if anyone calls Smackdown a 'b' team. Tazz says that Lawler was 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' at the Survivor Series, and says that he likes 'two out of the three' announcers on RAW. Phantom pushes to find out the guy Tazz dislikes; 'you figure it out.' He feels that he and Cole 'bring more to the table' then the RAW trio.
- Phantom asks if Tazz would like to be moved to RAW? Tazz answers with an affirmative 'no.' He thinks the perception of the 'a' and 'b' shows have been destroyed but felt it was different at the Survivor Series and explains why he said what he said. On Lawler; 'It took Jerry Lawler two months to get a comeback.' Tazz puts Jim Ross over at SNME as being the main guy and not he or Lawler. He confirms he had 'problems in the past,' with Ross, 'so has Cole,' but that they no longer exist. Tazz then has another jibe at Lawler, before talking more about RAW/Smackdown competition. Tazz talks about how 'tough' Joey Styles' job is, but feels 'he's doing a good job.'
- Junior asks if Tazz misses the ring? 'I don't miss the ring one bit.' He's proud of his career, and puts over working for ECW and Paul Heyman. He also name checks many ECW names before stating it was 'bulls***' that he was an ego guy. He says there's still a fraternity with the former ECW guys today.
- Phantom states how many wrestlers have failed too become quality announcers. Tazz tells how Rock put him over for his transition. He learned a lot from Michael Cole, Paul Heyman and Jim Ross on becoming a successful announcer. Vince's advice was 'you've got to leave your ego at the table.' Tazz again takes another couple of jibes at Lawler and the way he does color. 'You know what King, that's by design.'
