During a recent edition of his “The Taz Show” podcast, former WWE, ECW and iMPACT! Wrestling Superstar Taz commented on all of the suplexes he used during his wrestling career. He says he invented the “T-Bone” suplex name. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Naming The T-Bone Suplex: “That’s what I named it. Whatever people called it, but that’s what I called it. I kinda named it. And [for] simple reasons; it looked like a T, right? I was grabbing you like a T, I was grabbing between your legs and around your waist, it was like a T motion from the side. And I would turn you in the air where I was the base of the T and you were the top part, the horizontal part of the T. And that’s why I called it a T-bone, and everybody loves a T-bone steak. Of course you gotta put over T-bone steak, right? So, that’s where that came from.”
On Moves Being Overused: “When it’s used too much in a match, and when a suplex is used in the wrong time in a match, I used to try to very rarely, very, very rarely use a suplex early in the match. Because people were expecting a suplex from me, so I made them wait.”
