Who remembers or is aware of Taz's undefeated streak in ECW 1996-97?
I loved The "Path of Rage" Storyline. The huge build-up of the rivalry between Taz and Sabu with everything to be settled at ECW Barely Legal 1997, ECW's First Natiionally Televised Pay Per View. Taz was about as close to living his character as a Professional Wrestler could get. Taz was a High School Wrestling, Champion, a College Wrestling Champion, a Blackbelt in Judo and he and Perry Saturn were the Head Trainers for ECW's Training School. When ECW was showing Footage of Taz and his Students, that really was footage of Taz and his Students. The Whole MMA Gimmick, The Trainers and The Fighters The Entourage accompanying Taz to the Ring. Taz showing why he was the Human Suplex Machine as he took apart opponents with suplexes that Joey Styles referred to as "Tazplexes", as Tz dropped you on your head with great intensity and worked stiff. That was a great era for ECW. Did I mention that Taz is my All Time Favorite ECW World Heavyweight Champion? Damn right he is.
