In ECW, Tazz was a killer: a legit dominator who would choke opponents out left and right and rightly earned himself a legion of fans. So when the Human Suplex Machine joined the WWF in 2000, there was a lot of hype.

Debuting at the Royal Rumble in MSG, Tazz was the surprise opponent of Kurt Angle, choking the Olympian out and handing Kurt his first pro-wrestling loss.

And then, everything went down-hill.

Within months, the Red Hook native tumbled down the card, until he was lucky to get any victories. Feuding with the commentary team over the summer, it was clear that Tazz wasn't the same killer he once was.

Perhaps the biggest sign of this disappointment, was at the '01 Rumble, just one year after his incredible debut, where Tazz was eliminated in seconds.
