WWE Royal Rumble 2001 Roster: Where Are They Now?

Then: What a difference a year makes.

Tazz followed up on his awesome debut at the 2000 Rumble by getting tossed out just 10 seconds into his 2001 appearance. He went from being a focal point of the entire pay-per-view to being the quickest elimination 12 months later.

Now: Taz (one 'z') has been reborn as a villainous mouthpiece in AEW. He still dabbles in colour commentary every now and then, but his bread and butter is managing the likes of Brian Cage, Will Hobbs and Ricky Starks. It's a good fit for the former 'Human Suplex Machine'.
