Height, Weight & Measurements

In terms of physical stats, Taz stands at approximately 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) and weighs around 240 pounds (109 kg). His compact and muscular physique has allowed him to excel in the wrestling ring and build a commanding presence as a commentator.

Beginning his career in 1987, Taz began his rise to prominence after joining Eastern Championship Wrestling (ECW, later Extreme Championship Wrestling) in 1993 as The Tazmaniac.

In late-1995, following a severe neck injury, he shortened his ring name to "Taz" and adopted the persona of a belligerent shoot fighter who dismantled opponents with an array of suplexes before forcing them to submit with the "Tazmission".

During his time in ECW, Taz was a two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, a two-time ECW World Television Champion, a three-time ECW World Tag Team Champion, a two-time (and the inaugural) FTW Heavyweight Champion, and the fourth ECW Triple Crown Champion.

Family, Dating & Relationship Status

Taz is married to his long-time partner, which has contributed to his well-rounded personal life. Together, they have two children, a son and a daughter, who often post on social media, showcasing their family bonding. As 2025 rolls in, there are no public indices suggesting any major shifts in his relationship status; he appears to be happily settled with his family.

On the January 17, 2013 episode of Impact Wrestling, Taz was a groomsman at the wedding between Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan. As Ray and Brooke exchanged their vows, Taz interrupted the ceremony and proclaimed himself to be a member of Aces & Eights after revealing a kutte underneath his coat, turning heel again in the process.

Following his revelation, Aces & Eights ambushed the ceremony and attacked Ray, his groomsmen Tommy Dreamer and Brother Runt and Brooke's father Hulk Hogan. The following week on Impact Wrestling, Taz revealed that he joined Aces & Eights because of his desire to be a member of a group that adheres to a higher power.

On the November 21 episode of Impact Wrestling, Aces & Eights was forced to disband after Bully Ray lost to Mr. Anderson, which also saw Anderson retain his career in TNA.

Net Worth and Salary

As of 2025, Taz's estimated net worth is around $2 million. Throughout his extensive career in wrestling, commentary, and radio hosting, he has amassed a considerable fortune. Taz earns a respectable salary through his various endeavors, which include television appearances, podcasting, and other business ventures.

At November to Remember, things seemed to come full circle, as Taz stormed to the ring and interrupted Styles and "stole Paul E.'s thunder" by announcing that there would be a "big show in the first quarter of the new year", basically telling the fans in attendance that ECW's first pay-per-view was on the horizon.

At that "big show", he guaranteed that Sabu would finally face him. Later that night, he came out to force Scorpio to leave the ring and went on an angry tirade, abusing Bob Artese and holding him hostage in the ring. Taz demanded Sabu come out and face him, and twice even led the crowd in a "Sabu, Sabu" chant to get him to enter the ring.

Several officials and wrestlers came out and Taz eventually got his hands on Paul E. The lights went out and when they came back on, Sabu was in the ring, across from Taz. This was the first time they had been in the ring together since early 1995. Before they could lock up, the lights went out again.

Upon leaving WWE in 2009, Taz joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) as a color commentator. He left TNA in 2015.

He also hosted a talk show on 92.3 Free FM at sporadic intervals between late summer 2006 and early 2007, but it was not picked up and the station changed formats, replacing all post morning programming with music. On June 11, 2006, Taz returned to the ring to squash former rival Jerry Lawler at ECW One Night Stand.

In conclusion, Taz remains a prominent figure in the wrestling world, excelling in various roles and maintaining a strong connection with his fans in 2025. His journey illustrates the evolution of a wrestler into a multifaceted personality that resonates with audiences worldwide.

Taz returned to the ring on December 19, 1995, at Holiday Hell with a new look and wrestling style.

The new character had him clad in a black and orange singlet and exhibiting a more physically intense in-ring style, focusing his offense on mat wrestling and suplexes (inspired by working with The Steiner Brothers), which announcer Joey Styles dubbed Taz-Plexes, earning him the nickname "The Human Suplex Machine".

He also debuted his Tazmission/Katahajime finishing maneuver, causing opponents to tap out to signal their submission as in mixed martial arts instead of nodding their head or vocally saying "yes". This quirk was soon picked up by other companies throughout the country.

Heading into the summer, Taz began feuding with Tommy Dreamer, joining up with Brian Lee to face Dreamer and Terry Gordy and later Dreamer and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Taz also developed a friendship with The Eliminators, based on mutual respect, and they occasionally involved themselves in his matches.

Perry Saturn and Taz were both trainers at ECW's House of Hardcore wrestling school. For a while, some of the students, including Mako and Chris Chetti, would accompany Taz and Alfonso to the ring as a faction known as Team Taz.
