Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Word from backstage at Smackdown is that Tazz is not at tonight's show and was given off by WWE this evening due to personal reasons. As of right now, Ernest Miller is scheduled to take his spot for tonight. Miller recently had a wrestling tryout with WWE. I was told after he worked a few shows that WWE didn't like his ring work, but thought he may have a future as an announcer. WWE has been looking for commentators for the B shows for quite some time now. Miller was given an announcing tryout after working the shows. Tonight is probably another tryout for him as well. Since the rating for the show will be down this week due to Thanksgiving, it's not a bad time to give him a tryout. 1wrestling.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest converge241 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 he probably will end up as the Smackdown "chief of staff" or something equally retarded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted November 26, 2002 They fire Sanders for Ernect "THE FUCKING CAT" Miller GOD DAMN YOU VINCE! This just looks like a one time thing and he's not gonna be wrestling. Nowhere does it say Sanders was fired to bring Cat in. I'm still marking out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cataclysm911 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 I actually find The Cat humorous. "I'm gonna go out to my car and get my gi.. come back and whoop everybody in here!" Funny, of course, because it actually showed him going to his car to get his gi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Everybody's judging that The Cat is a bad choice before the actually SEE the show. Let's see what happens before judgement shall be laid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted November 26, 2002 AH HAVE SPOKEN!!!!!! Aww, too bad I wasn't going to this (it's a two hour drive away from me). The fact that it was the Thanksgiving show made me not want to go, since they'd be assured to have a food fight and a gravy bowl match or something. Would've been neat to see The Cat though. He was one of the people in WCW that I actually liked. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted November 26, 2002 they need to put Ernest Miller on Heat, send Lita to Smackdown to cat fight with Nidia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest phoenixrising Report post Posted November 26, 2002 I actually liked when the Jung Dragons would sneak up on him and try to beat him up. Ernest Miller is all right. Though I'm curious to see about his commentary. And if he's in a non wrestling role I don't mind him on my TV screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Oh this is awesome! I will be one of the first people to hear his commentary since the live crowd doesn't get to hear it. Whoohoo!

Guest notJames Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Its just commentary for one show....will be interesting who they say he is... niko Ernest Miller? Thats his real name.. I think niko's referring to who he is in the realm of professional wrestling (i.e. his stint in wCw) as opposed to him being just some schmoe they picked off the street.

Guest Blayde Starrfyre Report post Posted November 26, 2002 What can I say, I liked the Cat. Although I don't understand why the WWE would pick up him as an announcer but not Scott Hudson. Hudson was great in the old-school Gorilla Monsoon vein of commentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 What can I say, I liked the Cat. Although I don't understand why the WWE would pick up him as an announcer but not Scott Hudson. Hudson was great in the old-school Gorilla Monsoon vein of commentary. They had Scott Hudson for a while though. He was teamed with Arn for a few WCW on WWF TV matches. Didn't last to long, IIRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest notJames Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Scott Hudson took a government job, as far as I can remember. Heh, he traded one job dealing with bullshit politics for another... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Hudson had his shot with those WCW matches on Raw and Smackdown last year. I remember hearing something about him not wanting to work for the WWF for some reason. I think he was released because he kept saying Linda McMahon was hot.

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted November 26, 2002 *fires bullet into skull* Oh, not before me you don't! In my opinion Miller was only a good talker cause he was really bad at it in a way...kinda hard to explain, but I never thought he was any good. And in commentary I imagine it's twice as bad. Thanks a lot Vince Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted November 26, 2002 *marks out* Even though he likely won't be able to use any of his old catch phrases at all, I don't mind him announcing one bit. He was funny in a, "So bad it's good" kind of way for me, so maybe he can bring that to SD! for one night. I'll be there live so I'll bring news on whether the rumor pans out or not for tonight.

Guest Brian Report post Posted November 26, 2002 Unforunately, Cole will probably fall apart without Tazz. They need to bring in Stevie Ray. Cat just shouts out the funniest shit sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Army Eye Report post Posted November 26, 2002 To me this is great news. Miller is funny and Tazz.. he's had a long time to get used to the job and he still SUCKS. He's gotten worse actually. At least when he started, he was kind of interesting because he was still being Tazz. Now he's neutered Tazz, or should I say 'Uncle Tazz'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
