WWE News and Rumors: Former WWE Star Taz To Have his Own Show and Has a Take on the Future of the WWE
Taz, the former WWE star who had also had an illustrious run at TNA as well as ECW, spoke recently about his new show and also about the direction that the WWE has taken with the purported brand split of RAW and Smackdown. Recently, he spoke to the website Extra Mustard owned by Sports Illustrated and spoke about his show as well as the recent developments in the WWE.
Speaking about The Taz Show that is going to be aired on CBS network, he said, "This is my legacy and my history. This is something I've been trying to do for a decade, and that's something people don't know. If you sat down with Michael Cole and you asked him, 'Are you surprised that Taz is doing a radio show that's working so well?' He'd said, 'No, not at all.' He knew how passionate and driven I was about radio ten years ago. It's very, very hard to do. Anybody can stream a show or go on YouTube, but I'm proud to say that the platform I have-with a corporation as big as it is at this level with CBS Radio-this was ten years in the making. I look at this as my life's work." When asked about the possibility of the show being aired on the WWE network, he said that it was not a possibility since he did not want to be censored, "People tell me every week that 'The Taz Show' would be great on the WWE Network. They had interest in it and we did have talks with them. The talks didn't go far, but you have to understand that my bosses [at CBS Radio] are not going to allow my content to be tweaked or tainted with, and the show is not the show with me having a filter. The show is the show because it's unfiltered. I'm speaking from the heart and giving my true opinion."
Regarding the brand split, he said, "It's a layup to me. They're doing a brand split, which I humbly say that I predicted three or four months ago on my show. I know how they book and I know what works. They're actually a little late on the brand split, frankly, but the brand split works."
