Taz Had To Be Talked Into No-Selling Piledriver At SummerSlam 2000

Taz had to be convinced to ‘no-sell’ a piledriver by Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler when the two men faced off at WWF SummerSlam 2000.

The pair feuded in 2000 after Taz took exception to being labeled a ‘thug’ on commentary by JR, and at one point smashed glass in the face of the Oklahoma native.

On Twitter, Taz commented on his infamous no-selling of Lawler’s signature piledriver and made it clear the idea wasn’t his.

So here is the deal with this ancient history NO SELL spot… I’ve done it several times with King… and NOT one of those times was it my idea. Each time I had to be heavily convinced in long conversations to do it. https://t.co/uYSp2ttjkS

While Taz would no-sell the move, Lawler would win the match thanks to interference from JR, while Taz won the rematch at next month’s Unforgiven pay-per-view event.
