Taz Issues Statment about Leaving the WWE

Taz (He hates the second "Z") issued a statment on his Facebook account about leaving the WWE:

"I want to clear up some "true & false" for all of you," Taz wrote on his Facebook page:

"True

My contract expired the end of March and I had given my notice several weeks prior.

I ask WWE for my release to pursue other interest.

I offered to call Wrestlemania while I was not contractually obligated....and offered to call the show for free to the company.

I have fulfilled EVERY obligation to the WWE, and pride myself on leaving the proper/professional way.

On my way out, from Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn and Stephanie ALL treated me great...which was cool.

I APPRECIATE all of the offers for appearances but right now I'm just doing very few appearances (if any). I'm gonna chill out and watch my kid hit baseballs.

I am done wrestling. At 41 years old, several neck and shoulder issues...not happening. I would be a former shell of myself.

I too have hated the extra "Z"

FALSE

Burnout (If anything, I'm more inspired & motivated now than ever)"
