He is known for his work in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), where he was a two time World Heavyweight Champion, a two time World Television Champion, a three time World Tag Team Champion, a two time (and the inaugural) FTW Heavyweight Champion, and the fourth (and final) ECW Triple Crown Champion.

His World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E) career as an in-ring performer came to an early end in 2002 and subsequently saw him transition into a color-commentary role, which he continued to do until his contract with WWE expired in April 2009. Two months later, Senerchia debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling at their Victory Road pay-per-view under his previous Taz ring name and eventually reprised his role as a color commentator for TNA’s broadcasts, replacing Don West.

Since 2019, Taz has worked for All Elite Wrestling as a manager and part-time announcer. His stable (Team Taz) originally consisted of Brian Cage, Ricky Starks and Hook. He later introduced Will Hobbs, who was renamed Powerhouse Hobbs. Also, Taz reintroduced the formerly unsanctioned FTW Championship, which was last seen in ECW as a substitute for the World Championship.
