AEW analyst Taz took a moment to throw a little shade at WWE following the segment from Monday Night RAW where we saw Kevin Owens come out to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s theme music, impersonating Austin and his mannerisms on the build to their WrestleMania 38 showdown.
Taz shared a clip from AEW Revolution, as he spoke about how he felt this was too similar to what AEW did a few weeks ago with Don Callis coming out to Kenny Omega’s theme music to pop the fans, only to disappoint them with his presence.
Taz said: “I’ll be that guy…couple weeks ago at #AEWRevolution”

He followed this up by going back and comparing the segment to what the late Chris Candido had done to Taz for a segment in ECW in the 90s.
“And Chris Candido came out dressed like me to my music and that was the probably mid-90s… obviously it’s nothing new, but it was just done so recently. I would expect more from a company with 76,000 writers.”

This led to the comment from a fan saying that Vince McMahon lives “rent-free” in Taz’s head, which was covered yesterday in a prior story. Taz replied to the fan with the following message:
Oh please get the fuck out of here dude! I’m just trying to have some fun with fans on here. Here is a history lesson, I quit their company. my choice…do the math. Very ridiculous statement by you. And I don’t need your disingenuous bullshit “all due respect”. Have a nice day! https://t.co/NYnWdN3cjS
