10 big WWE signings that were completely wasted

#9 Tazz

Wasn't on much of a path of destruction

Tazz was to ECW in the 90's what Brock Lesnar is to WWE today, only with actual regular wrestling appearances.

Tazz was almost untouchable; he ran through everybody in ECW, from Sabu to Shane Douglas to the Dudley Boyz. He was a force to be reckoned with and the original suplex machine.

During his time with ECW, Tazz was the ECW World Champion, a two-time ECW TV Champion, three-time ECW Tag Team Champion, and also created his own title, the FTW Championship, which he held twice.

Then, he joined WWE in 2000 and was not the same man anymore. Despite a strong and memorable debut at the 2000 Royal Rumble with a win over Kurt Angle, Tazz soon fell into the hardcore ranks and struggled to shake it off.

While a WWE Superstar, Tazz returned to ECW and in one of the most bizarre moves of professional wrestling history, ECW and WWE officials agreed to have Tazz, a WWE wrestler, make a surprise appearance at an ECW show to defeat then ECW Champion Mike Awesome, a WCW wrestler, for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.

Tazz appeared on an episode of Smackdown with the belt, where he lost to WWE Champion Triple H, in a match designed to show WWE's already known superiority over ECW.

He did receive small pushes here and there in 2000 and 2001, but nothing compared to how he was in ECW. Ultimately he would be a three-time WWE Hardcore Champion and a Tag Team Champion with Spike Dudley. He retired in early 2002 to pursue a full-time career as a WWE commentator.
