As reported here yesterday, Taz has replaced Don West as the color commentator of TNA Wrestling. The change took place at Monday night’s television tapings, as Taz called this week’s iMPACT! taping along side Mike Tenay.
Taz posted a couple of comments on his Twitter page regarding his new position: “I am already LOVING my new role in TNA,” Taz wrote. “I had a blast with Mike (Tenay) also. TNA will sound different starting Thursday.”
Taz also addressed Don West, who he is replacing on air. “I’m also happy Don is TNA still. It shows the type of front office we have. Dude has been there for seven years. You don’t just can him – promote him.”
While Don West will no longer be calling the action from ringside, several sources have confirmed that he received a promotion in TNA’s merchandising division and is not being let go.
