      THEE MOST I said was nobody had issues with him "constantly telling them what to do". Clearly there were "other" problems they had with Taker, right? "Constantly telling them what to do" and "being able to have Vince fire them" do not have the same meaning right? lol

When you're in a place where you have that many people egging you into a fight on total hearsay, and aren't smart enough to realize you're being played for a fool, is it safe to call that an RVD moment at this point with how often that seemed to happen to him. lol

    I could never stand Taz or believe his hype or him as Champion or tough but I did perfect his Tazmission move even using it on my Taller Cousin or anybody effectively :). Hence the Pick A Hand Story was always one of my Favorites. I recall him calling out Sabu for like longest time too. He was my favorite but RVD was a favorite of mine along with Hayabusa or Mike Awesome even Ricky Steamboat or Road Warriors to Ric Rude :). I wish I got to hear him doing the Orange or Yellow rib thing on it. I remember guy making fun of my White Spiderman hat I had my own PAH situation too :). Too funny he had to move his "fanny pack" to throw down :). Peter is about to meet Paul :). TAlk No Jitsu is right out of Naruto Anime or Manga :). Its Cool Story though ;).

      The Tazmission (Kata Ha Jime) is a legit move in Judo....it's a strangle move. Obviously, Taz puts it on light with histrionics to embellish it. But if it's put on for real in a grappling situation, it can choke you out. I know Taz has some form of Judo training outside of pro wrestling....I think he's a blue belt or some fairly high rank, I don't think he's a black belt.
