Taz Tape Review
I get all my Taz videos from rfvideo they have a selection of just about every Taz video ever made, and the largest wrestling video library anywhere. You can get videos form just about any promotion in the world. I strongly suggest anyone who is a fan of "wrestling" to visit their site.
Taz:Path of Rage
This was the first Taz video I ever bought and I must say I was very pleased. Most of this video takes place after Taz turned heel, joined up with Bill Alfonso and started his Path of Rage through ECW (hence the name). The video also chonicles the Taz/Sabu fued goin into Barley Legal. Some of the highlights are The Taz-Sabu music video which is done to the song "King Nothing" by Metalica, the Kurt Angle/Taz interview and Kurt Angle commentating a Taz matches, also there is a very rare Taz match (I believe it's a shoot fight) from Japan. Awesome match to watch, you get to see Taz really performing some of his famous Tazplexes, just brutal stuff. Overall this tape is awesome from top to bottom, and I highly recomend it to any Taz fan.

History of Taz in ECW...4hrs
I was somewhat disappointed in this tape. After viewing the tape I felt that it didn't fully encompass Taz' career in ECW. I'm not a big fan of the Tazmaniac gimmick and felt that it had a to many Tazmainiac matches and too little FTW footage. I feel that the FTW part of Taz' career was much more impactfull then the Tazmaniac gimmick even though The Tazmaniac and Sabu were ECW Tag Team champions. The match with Tazmaniac and Sullivan vs. Sheik and Tanaka, I felt was really out of place and should have been left out, mostly because the match was not even focused on the Tazmainac but on Sullivan & Sheik brawling through the crowd, this has to be one of the worst matches I have ever seen. The only reason it was put on here was because the Tazmaniac has fire thrown on him, but it's certainly nothing that was a high point in his career in ECW and should have been left out. However even though I don't like the Tazmainac gimmick some of the matches on the tape during that period are quite good, including brawls with such greats as Beniot & the Malenko brothers. Once you get past the Tazmaniac part of the tape the rest of it is very good. Some of the highlights are the Varleans match (UFC fighter), the Jericho match and Tazz' second World Title win in his comback to ECW. If you are not a fan of the Tazmainiac gimmick I wouldn't recomend getting this video.

History of Taz vs The Triple Threat...One man vs the world!...4hrs
This video is awesome, it is easily the favorite of my collection, not only because I'm a Taz fan but because I'm also a fan of "The Franchise" Shane Douglas (the leader of The Triple Threat). This tape is truly great loaded with tons of great Taz/Triple Threat promos and matches. The tape is full of highlights but I'll name some of my favorites. The satelite promo from the Team Taz dojo is very cool Taz actually cuts a promo while performing moves on his students, and the forming of the new triple threat (Taz, Sabu and Van Dam) is another of the many great moments on this tape. I highly recomend this video, every Taz fan should have it in their collection.
