Former ECW World champion and long-time WWE announcer Tazz left World Wrestling Entertainment last night after calling the matches for this Friday's edition of Smackdown. He is now officially done with the company as his WWE contract expires today. We will both have many more details on this story in reports on the Audio section of PWInsiderElite.com today.

Am I the only one to see the racist entendre? No? Ok.

Would you really leave WWE one week before WrestleMania?

I know for a lot of the matches they like to mix up the commentators, but it really puts them up shit creek not having the same voice comment on matches that have feuds that have cumulated over months.

He was obviously talking about Mick Foley.

If I were a disgruntled employee who had grown tired of the boss screaming into my ear for the past nine years and I were given a chance to throw a wrench, however small, into the works of a huge project, I'd at least consider it.

WrestleMania only matters if you're sentimental or wrestling.

WWE seems to be going for a 3 commentary team of JR, Cole and Lawler calling all the matches together.

JR, Cole and Lawler is not bad I suppose but I wanted Striker to get the chance.

Matt Striker is the most boring color commentator ever.

From what I've read, there's no apparent animosity between Tazz and WWE, so I'm sure they've left the door open to him anytime he wants to return. I doubt he'll ever show up in TNA - he'd probably want to match his WWE pay and that's just not gonna happen.

While I liked his work in ECW, I think he started believing his own hype way too much and his color commentary wasn't all that impressive, but then few in the business are. This last year or two, it felt like he was just phoning it in. Some could argue he always phoned it in. *shrug*

He's not causing any real havoc for Wrestlemania's announcing team. Easily replaced.

As for Matt Striker, he's got a lot to work on, but at least he knows and can name the moves. Miles above Todd Grisham or Michael Cole, imo.
