We have received emails from people concerning the coverage of the Tazz-WWE story online so let's separate fact from fiction.
Tazz gave notice a few weeks ago. He said he needed to recharge his batteries and left "the right way". He was seen with Stephanie and Shane McMahon saying goodbye at TV yesterday. I believe he met with Vince too but I don't know that for sure. If I were to speculate, I think that given the way Vince is in the headsets, after all these years of working with him, it was probably a factor. But, that is only me speculating. For anyone "reporting" that no one would walk away from a cherry job like that for that reason I have two words for you: Mick Foley. Vince is tough to work for, especially when he is screaming into your headsets for two hours. Some people can take it, others, like Foley, choose not to.
Tazz's contract with WWE expires at the end of today. There had been talks on a new deal but Tazz made the call to leave for the reason mentioned above. He was not "future endeavored". In fact, when you work through a contract to its end, it's not even possible to be "future endeavored".
We were told that he offered to do Mania if they needed him, so he didn't leave them in the lurch.
