Another ECW guy Vince refused to push who had enough crowd support to be the Champion.

You've got that right. I guess they thought he was too small. Biggest waste of the past decade!

Tazz would have made for a viable contender at the time, but never an actual world title holder, mostly due to his size. Besides, if you remember how he was booked after his debut (fighting in the Hardcore title division), it was pretty obvious that Vince or any of the writers of the time didn't have any long term plans for him in a main event/upper mid-card role. Although, in ECW, he was (and booked like) a  ing beast, which is all credit to Paul Heyman; I don't think Vince could have ever equalled that no matter how hard he could try. |

If Mysterio could be champion, Tazz could.
I hate how Vince never pushed any WCW/ECW guy.

I still they made Tazz a jobber because he came from ECW. Also, why did Tazz stopped wrestling?  |

He really did have what it took to be WWF Champion....but they always jobbed him out. Tazz was over enogh to stand toe to toe with Steve Austin. The crowd was behind him 100% and WWF just burried him. ca.youtube.com/watch?v=vYOno0d6cmU&feature=relatedThis was a feud that should have been continued |

Tazz may be one of the best wrestlers oo come from ECW.
His hardcore matches were awesome. He could put on a great non weapon match. He had thhe potential too be WWE's version of WCW's goldberg. I'd of taken him and gave him a year long undefeated streak. This man can go and can make a simple suplex look like it killed the guy. He was innovative, he was unique, he was a beast, but most important too vince......He came from ECW therefore Job Squad.

Also, as soon as WWE made him an announcer he got really fat. Maybe if WWE had pused him he wouldn't be obese right now. he was 248 in his prime....bu the way he looks now I'd say he has to be 310 at least...and for somebody who is like 5"5....that's fat as . |

To be fair, he lost 'the spark' to wrestle - and maybe WWE did have plans for him in the future.
It's not their fault.

I remember in 2002 I watched Tazz's last match (I think it was)
It was Brock Lesnar vs Tazz on smackdown and Lesnar destroyed him, after that he was always at the announcing table.

Eddie, Austin, Nash, and Triple H were nothing to WCW when they first left. When Nash came back in 02, that's a different story. Booker it took how long to actually push him? RVD was the only ECW guy ever pushed to a world title, which took WWE awhile to do. Vince waited until the crowds didn't care that they were ever WCW guys, until they had gimmicks he liked to push, or in RVD's case, it was beneficial to love ECW. Tazz was amazingly over when he first came in and it sucked he never got to at least be a legit contender. |

He certainly could have done well if utilized. The man was a beast in ECW.
