When Tazz was an active WWF wrestler in 2000, 2001, and I think into early 2002 (with I think one last "match" against Lawler at ONS in 2006), I actually enjoyed him. Everyone says he was lame as a WWF wrestler, and he probably was compared to ECW TAZ, but I enjoyed him for what he did in the WWF around that time.
Anyone else like 2000/2001 WWF TAZZ?

not really...Honestly he was built up to be such an unstoppable machine (a human suplexing machine) in ECW and then got into WWE where everyone was much bigger then him and beat him up all the time it killed the whole Taz character. He should have stayed in ECW until the very end and then moved over to the new crappier ECW.

I do remember his debut at WWF, Against to Kurt Angle at Rumble. The match does look tough to me. Tazz's wrestler ability normally look toughest.

He was booked strong in his debut... ending Kurt Angle's winning streak he had since he debuted. It's a shame he and Raven were thrown into the hardcore division, which was basically a midcard life sentence.

I think he did great, and I even dug the tracksuit look ... I just don't think he wrestled in WWE long enough that's all.

I think he just didn't wrestle long enough. Throwing him into the hardcore division was a mistake. He was an ECW wrestler, but he wasn't a hardcore guy. I really think he could've been great in the main event or Intercontinental scene, but since he wasn't a WWF boy, I don't think he had the chance.

In ECW he was such a killer, they really pushed him as this legit shooter regardless of his height in fact taking advantage of it for his takedowns & suplexes.
In WWe it started so well, Tazz walked out to a huge response from the home crowd & tapped Angle ending his undefeated streak.
Then however WWE slowly started jobbing him out at every opportunity & making a joke of him. They were right to though, WWE audiences would never have accepted him in the land of the Giants, in the size obsessed WWE he was never going to get beyond midcard status.
However he had a very enjoyable run, possibly the highlight for me is when he took the ECW strap from Mike Awesome & then took on HHH in a match between two different company champions, had a quality bout.
I always liked Tazz myself but WWE were never going to let him do all those killer moves, in ECW it was OK but no way would that be allowed in a corporate group.
However with ECW about to crash he jumped at the right time coming in on his own & getting established rather than coming in later on as part of a group. He's done well enough that he's got a comfortable job behind the mic & doing OK

Taz should've and could've been more..i could care less of his size. His most note worthy act was facing HHH on Smackdown where he almost won the WWF Title! I remember being so pissed about that. He didnt do much after that.

Tazz was amazing in his early WWF career. Right around August/September of 2001, when he was thrown into a cruddy tag team with Raven, he started to lose his fire. After that, he just became another mid-carder.
