The Tazzmissionist

[This week's worth of Tazz][April. 20th, 2002]

The "Orange Survive" Tazz shirt that was announced last week as on sale for $12.50 was removed from the WWFShopzone site and then later reintroduced for an even lower price of $9.98! The shirt is now ranked in the no. 4 spot on the Top 5 Best Seller List for the Other Superstars category. Other Superstars mean that Tazz no longer has his own section on WWFShopzone.com. This same shirt is selling for £15.00 (XS: £12.75) in London and €24.00 (XS: €20.50) anywhere else. Get em' while they last, folks!

Speaking of shirts, the recently released "Thug Supastar" T-shirt was redone and a new one is now selling in place of the old "Thug Supastar" shirt (Take a look right below for pictures). The font of "Thug Supastar" on the front was altered a bit and instead of saying "Brooklyn USA" under it, it now says "Live Hard" with the 13 ball still next to it. On the back "Survive If I Let You" was changed to "Live Hard" with a 13 ball in the middle. The Tazz 13 logo from the previous shirt is placed below the WWF.com logo. "Brooklyn USA" is under the "Live Hard" logo.

The t-shirt switch is a rare event. Anyone lucky enough to have purchased a "Survive If I Let You" version of that shirt is considered lucky. This has happened twice in Tazz's WWF career. The first time was when they pulled the "Thug Life" shirts from the shelves because it was a copyright infringement of a rapper clothingline (Tupac I assume). I was one of the lucky fans to have purchased the shirt before it was changed to "Just Another Victim."

TAZZ APPEARANCES
Tazz did another great job of color commentary this week on Smackdown. There is a noticable differance in his style this week from his style last week. Last week Tazz played a heel commentator role. This week he still played somewhat of a heel commentator role, but his attitude changed back to his old joke-crackn', rocket-bustn' self. A humorous Tazz is a good Tazz!

Tazz will be wrestling Hardcore Holly at a house show on April 20th, 2002 in Topeka, Kansas. If you're a Tazz fan, if you live in the Topeka area, and if the event is not sold out, this would be a rare opportunity to see Tazz "The Commentator" wrestle a live match.

TAZZ ON EBAY
On Ebay, several Tazz trading cards are being offered from many Fleer series. Some from RAW Deal, and alot from the latest edition called "All Access." These cards are featured with actual Tazz clothing matted into the product. A must have for any fan. Plus, alot of AttitudeTees.com Tazz shirts are available for low prices around the $10.00 region. This one's considered a steal since nobody ever bids on those. Also being sold are some Tazz figures, Tazz autographed photos, unautographed Tazz photos, and that Tazz Keychain that nobody ever seems to want. To find all these items type in 'WWF Tazz' in the search box.

For Taz merchandise, alot of tapes are being sold including Heat Wave 94' and 95', Double Tables 95', House Party 99', Living Dangerously 98' and 99', November To Remember 98' and 99', and the Tazz "One Man Crime Spree" video. Prices for these videos range from $6.99 - $10.00. ECW Tazz figures are also being sold inluding a rare knock off series called "SuperBruisers." And lastly, a rare, but expensive Taz shirt is being auctioned for $30.00, or you can buy it now for $40.00. On the front it has Taz choking a jobber and on the back contains the 5 faces of rage. For these items type in 'ECW Taz' in the search box.

INTERESTING TAZZ FACTS
I just remembered one of the biggest upsets in history. When the 1-2-3 Kid (X-Pac) beat Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) on and episode of Monday Night RAW. Then, when Barry Horiwitz (however you spell his name) beat Skip (Chris Candido) on another episode of Monday Night RAW. And then, last year when Maven beat Tazz on an episode of Smackdown. This Sunday at Backlash, Maven has an opportunity to win the tag team titles. If he does so, he would have held just as many titles as Tazz in under one year compared to Tazz's three years. And would have had more title reigns at that! Just goes to show you how fucked up the WWF really is...

Tazz drinks Aquafina brand water.
