AEW Broadcaster Taz To Be Inducted Into 2300 Arena Hardcore Hall Of Fame At Collision

This week, All Elite Wrestling kicked off its multi-week residency at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena, which famously served as the house of ECW for a few years. With this in mind, the corporate arranged a special tribute to AEW commentator and ECW legend Taz after Wednesday’s episode of “AEW Dynamite” went off the air. Per PWInsider, this celebration also got here with the announcement that Taz will receive his official induction into the 2300 Arena’s Hardcore Hall of Fame during Saturday’s taping of “AEW Collision.”

In his six years with ECW, Taz enjoyed two reigns as ECW World Heavyweight Champion, three as ECW Tag Team Champion, and two more with the ECW World Television Championship. “The Human Suplex Machine” also held the FTW Championship, which AEW later resurrected in 2020. His son HOOK became a three-time and last ever FTW Champion before retiring the title in September 2024.

For the profession celebration of Taz, members of the AEW roster gathered across the ring in Team Taz Dojo shirts. AEW President Tony Khan shared some kind words for Taz as well.

“After an important night here for the primary ever AEW show within the 2300 Arena, I am unable to consider a more fitting method to end AEW’s first night here than to pay homage, to pay respect, to the best legend in my view within the history of this constructing,” Khan said within the exclusive AEW footage. “It has been an honor following you almost my entire life. This is just the second time I’ve ever been on this constructing … I used to be 13 years old and I used to be wearing a Taz shirt. You are a hero to me, to hundreds of thousands of individuals around the globe. Thanks, Taz.”

Taz himself was admittedly surprised by the gesture, as his wife and son kept him at nighttime about it. Nevertheless, he’s grateful and now prepared to take his place into the Arena’s Hardcore Hall of Fame on Saturday, when his official banner might be raised.
