Taz BLASTS WWE's Triple H Whilst Defending AEW's Ranking System
Strong words from the AEW commentator.
AEW commentator Taz blasted Triple H when responding to a fan comment on his official Twitter page.
The fan in question had remarked that it was ridiculous Cody Rhodes was on top of AEW's rankings system and involved in the TNT Title tournament. He then said that select people would lose their minds if Triple H was booking himself on top of WWE's rankings and putting himself in tourneys.
Firing back, Taz said that Triple H had been on top of WWE's "invisible" rankings system for "around 15 years". Not quite finished, he added that Cody "puts over talent and doesn't crush people behind their backs".
The tweet ended with Taz telling the fan, "Sir, you think you know what the deal is, but you have no idea what you are talking about regarding this".
The dude getting hot about Cody was just another victim.
In all seriousness, it is newsworthy stuff that one of AEW's lead broadcasters would shoot on Triple H so publicly like this. The "doesn't crush people behind their backs" line is of particular interest; Tazz's WWE push was abruptly halted mere months into his run, and coincided with a loss to Trips on the 20 April 2000 SmackDown.
