Description

Peter Senerchia (October 11, 1967) is a retired American professional wrestler and color commentator best known by his ring names Tazmaniac, Taz and Tazz. He is known for his tenure in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), where he was a two time World Heavyweight Champion, a two time World Television Champion, a three time World Tag Team Champion, and a two time (and the first ever) FTW Heavyweight Champion. His World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) career as an in-ring performer came to an early halt in 2002 when mounting injuries forced him to retire and become a color commentator, which he continued to do until his contract with WWE expired in April 2009. Two months later, Senerchia debuted in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) at their Victory Road pay-per-view under the ring name Taz, originally as the manager of Samoa Joe, but eventually reprised his role as a color commentator alongside Mike Tenay, for TNA's broadcasts, replacing Don West.
