when world wrestling entertainment split into two brands, tazz was put on the smackdown! brand, where he resumed his color commentator duties. not long after he retired from the ring, he became a full-time broadcaster. he co-hosted "smackdown!" for world wrestling entertainment until a third brand, ecw, was introduced in 2006, at which point he became the color commentator for that show. he was also the co-host, with joey styles, of "history of extreme championship wrestling" on wwe 24/7 classics, a show that re-airs archived episodes of the original ecw's weekly television programs. before and during episodes he and styles provide insight into the storylines, inner workings, and general ambiance of ecw at the time—as they remember it.
