It showed up on my YouTube feed and I was reminded just how awesome that was. I love everything about those 8+ minutes and it's damn near perfect to me, from his debut after his build up vignettes, to the crowd chanting for him during Angle's promo, to his sick entrance music, to Kurt Angle being great, to the commentary, to the stretcher at the end. Just A+ all around as far as I'm concerned. We can lament that due to injuries/poor booking this was the peak of Tazz during the WWF (IE just a year later he's eliminated from the Royal Rumble in like 7 seconds lol), but for one night he looked like a damn star.
Feel free to post other awesome debuts.

Shame he came in right when the Radicalz were coming in. That derailed em right there.
But yeah the presentation was fantastic. Always been a Taz fan and to see em get that POP in MSG was something special

Great beginning. But all downhill from there.

In my opinion, best debut from another company to WWF. Over as hell. Looks like a beast. Ends Kurt’s undefeated streak.
Yes, it was all downhill after that. But this is everything you could want from a debut.

As an ECW fan, I popped big time for this!
Truly one of the best debuts of all time, it was so much fun and he looked like a total badass. With him going over Kurt Angle, they clearly thought highly of him and had big plans. I have always felt that Vince was like a kid with new toys, sure he had Taz and he was all in on him, but just a shortwhile later, he gets four more new toys and he liked some of those ones even better! Plus, his first big feud was with JR and the King so it really was all downhill after that epic debut.
The real nail in the Taz coffin for me was when Austin called him short and fat. No coming back after that.

I believe the whole underage girl massage arrest had something to do with it, the charges were dropped before he got there but the stain had made its mark.
Good talker though!

Excellent debut but Angle complaining about him being reckless & the Radicalz coming in a few weeks after meant Vince lost interest quickly
Pity...he had plenty to offer in 2000
