Update: More Backstage Details on Taz’s Current Issues with TNA, Why He Missed Commentary, Is He Being Replaced?

April 14, 2015

tna As noted, Taz might be facing repercussions for missing the last set of Impact Wrestling tapings, and according to PWInsider.com, Taz has removed all references to TNA on his Twitter account today.

The report notes Taz did not appear for a scheduled voice over session last Thursday in Nashville, TN, to do commentary for future Impact broadcasts.

Sources are noting pay issues are what lead to Taz not boarding his flight from New York to Nashville, so it appears the same company wide pay issues which we mentioned before are at the root of Taz’s problem.

As for Taz removing references to TNA on his social media accounts, the feeling is he did it in order to send a message to TNA.

Josh Mathews reportedly handled commentary alone for the episode of Impact which will air this Friday night, but since TNA has until Thursday to hand the episode into Destination America, the show’s commentary could change.

For what it’s worth, TNA recently tried out Al Snow for a commentary role in the company.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
