Tazz discussed his displeasure with the latest episode of Monday Night Raw on his podcast, The Taz Show. Check it out below.
"RAW was really bad, ok? [It was] maybe the worst RAW ever and that sounds like an overstatement, but itās not an overstatement. It was very bad, very bad.ā
Ā āI do have a problem with the way the scene at the quasi-hospital was shot, or the pre-op room or wherever the frig they said Braun Strowman was supposed to be at. It looked fake. It looked contrived. It looked campy. It came off campy. Braun, in his performance, and it wasnāt great ā it really wasnāt, it seemed like he was trying to act and heās not an actor. Theyāre trying to make this guy so human. Theyāre well past the point in making him this monster because he just does what everybody else does, so he isnāt really feared in being this monster, in character Iām speaking of, obviously. I did not like how it was shot at all. I thought it looked exactly like the f*cking thing they did with Dean Ambroseā¦.It looks worked. It looks contrived and so insulting to peopleās intelligence and thatās how it came off. It just came off weak and Braun had some meat to what he said in his backstage bitā¦you felt like he was gonna destroy Baron Corbin when he heals up, so Braun did a good job with that. I just feel like youāve got to put the talent, no matter which wrestling company youāre talking about, no matter which wrestler youāre talking about, male of female, you always always have to put the talent in a position to succeed. These f*cking bits backstage that they do, they donāt help you succeed.ā
āWhat theyāre doing for Baron Corbin and Iām happy for Baron for getting a push because he is getting a f*cking big push; the way theyāre pushing him, how theyāre over exposing him and that heās not readyā¦Heās not ready, Baron Corbin, for this because itās like when you build a house and the foundation. Before you frame the home, you need a f*cking foundation. The foundationās made of concrete, so when you pour the frigging concrete, the concrete has to dry. Once the concrete dries then itās stable. Baron Corbin, heās poured concrete thatās halfway dry. Heās not ready to have a house framed on him yet and Iām not saying itās his ability because itās not his ability. His ability is fine. Itās how heās been built to this point. Heās still wet cement. I donāt care what anybody says.ā
āYouāre not putting talent in a position to succeed when you shoot something the way itās shot, like Dean Ambrose in the doctorās office and the way it looks, like itās f*cking 1989 or 1992 or 1994, with the way RAW is WAR would shoot sh*t backstage. It just looks campy and outdated. It doesnāt look realistic. Itās insulting to peopleās intelligence. Itās f*cking annoying. It just looks fake and to top it all off, WWE will take clips of this sh*t and they are taking clips of this stuff and putting it on their Twitter that has like 10 million followers and theyāre tweeting out these clips and people are quoting these clips ripping the sh*t out of what they did on RAW and ripping the creative team and ripping everybody. WWE donāt care. I mean, they care, but they donāt care. They think itās funny. They wouldnāt be putting it in our f*cking face like this and anybody that thinks Iām going to the Hall of Fame in Brooklyn, at WrestleMania in 2019, youāre out your f*cking mind.ā
āThere is definitely for a lot of years a lot more room for Vince [McMahon] to say, āAh, we swung and we missed at this one, no big deal. Alright, we swung and we missed at that, no big deal. We got a base single here. We got a double here. Woah, look at that, we got three home runs in a row. Thatās not bad. We just missed again. We missed that ball again. We struck out again, no big deal.ā He can afford to do that because his brand is bigger than his talent, for the most part, unless you watched Monday night on RAW because no dis to any of the talent, but it just didnāt feel like there was star power in this thing. It just didnāt feel it. Weāve heard the narrative for so long about a man named Roman Reigns, who God willing is fighting right now and getting healthy and doing what he has to do in dealing with what he is dealing with, as all of you guys know. When I mention Roman Reigns, Iām talking about him now as the professional wrestler, as the WWE talent. You kind of miss that star power right now. You do.ā
