Corey Graves has managed to get a lot of people talking with his tweets over the last few weeks, and on Sunday night he caught the attention of former ECW World Champion Taz when he posted the following tweet:
NEW & IMPROVED Tazz & Cole#WWETLC pic.twitter.com/VmqH77xy7n

Taz didn’t take too kindly to Corey Graves referring to Samoa Joe and Vic Joseph as the, “NEW & IMPROVED Tazz & Cole.”
After seeing the tweet Taz fired back with, “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”

When a fan noted that it was just a joke, Taz made it clear that he didn’t find the joke funny.
“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.”

He then went on to call Corey a “shock jock podcaster try hard.”
“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. 🙄”

Corey Graves did clarify that it was meant to be taken as a joke.
Nah. I won’t discuss your inability to take a completely innocuous joke. You should get a podcast! It’s fun!
