Like to thank TNA Wrestling for the opportunity to apply my craft for past several years. Best wishes to them in the future.

As previously reported, Taz was reportedly at issues with the promotion due to pay issues. Al Snow recently received a tryout as an announcer.

I think he's headed to Global Force but people rightfully point out he's a well thought of trainer and could replace Demott.

Can't say I'm saddened by this, even with the obvious not paying bullshit.

When he wanted to be, he was good, but most of the time he decided not to be good and just fucking rambled.

He's the worst color guy I could think of. I haven't heard Vampiro, but he's miles behind Corino, JBL, and King.

Taz from 2003-2008 was his best work, i feel once TNA started running into their major problems, he just decided to phone it in cause he probably didnt know if the company was going to last much longer.

Also Vampiro is horseshit on commentary.
