Corey Graves may want to choose his words wisely next time when Tweeting about talents who have put the work in.
The WWE Friday Night SmackDown commentator posted a picture of Samoa Joe & Vic Joseph discussing matters at ringside and wrote the caption “NEW & IMPROVED Tazz & Cole.”
Taz himself caught wind of the Tweet and had nothing but positive vibes for Joe and Joseph, but wasn’t particularly pleased with Graves choice of words. Taz made sure Graves knew that he and Cole paid major dues to get where they were and the word “IMPROVED” shouldn’t be anywhere in the equation as of yet.
Gee whiz, new & "IMPROVED"? I wish them the best but luck! But, if they are a duo after YEARS of shows than its a fair comparison. @MichaelCole & I BATTLED for every opportunity as a team. #DuesPaid https://t.co/t3A2f6zLzN

Taz also added in a later Tweet that he isn’t a fan of being a brunt of a joke he wasn’t in on, stating, “Jokes aren’t funny when pulled on someone who doesn’t work there anymore…therefore if its joke than I’m NOT in on it. I dont appreciate being the brunt of a joke from a current announcer especially with the big social media following of @WWEGraves – I’m “out here”, he’s not.”

A fan responded, thinking Graves is aiming to get himself a bully reputation, but Taz gave his thoughts as to why he thinks Graves does what he does.
Nah, he wants content for the podcast WWE handed him. Meanwhile, @WWEGraves has every resource possible from WWE to succeed with the pod but he has try to become a hot take controversial outspoken shock jock podcaster “try hard” …brother please. 🙄 https://t.co/XOstqsmV2Y
