Can we remove Taz from commentary, and replace him with Don Callis? - eviltoast

Every AEW show, Taz just seems to cause CONSTANT non-stop awkward moments, and bickering without payoff.

Meanwhile, everytime Don Callis is on commentary, he’s the star of the show. At least the commdntary portion of the show.

And can we all admit that for as bad as Tony Schivone was in WCW, he’s pretty great in AEW.

And as much as I hate to admit it, Excaliber is a top notch commentary, and there’s a reason he’s lead announcer.

…but Taz needs to go.

      What is it this week with people asking for things to come to murder as the solution to conflict resolution? You…Vince telling Shane he’d have to stab him in the heart if he wanted his idea approved…I’m sure politics will have some of this before November.

        Bruh, I’m simply saying I wouldn’t want such a change, unless I’m dead, in which case, I wouldn’t care. Because dead people tend to care about very little. If you wish to elevate this to attempted murder, all I can say is:

        I fight dirty, I hug and kiss!

        Now, all that silliness out of the way:

        If I had to replace Tazz, it would be with Matt Menard before Don Callis. Not because Carny Hot Dog is bad at commentary, I just like Hot Dog Man as a heel manager that occasionally does commentary much more than as a full-time commentator. I also really like Tazz on commentary, mainly for the same reasons you listed for disliking him. He’s also aware that the IWC likes his silly/awkward moments, and he leans into that, much in the same way Jericho’s Learning Tree gimmick is rooted (pun intended!) in the criticism he’s getting.

          Matt Menard

          I…uh…who?

          Edit: Oh, you mean daddy magic! I can never decide if I love him, or if he’s annoying.
