why was he always escorted to the ring?

>>1260316
Because he is an edge lord

>>1260316
Security was there to keep him from running away from a match he doesn't feel like working, the cunt.

>>1260316
They wanted to have that "Boxer like" entrance. The slow build. Being escorted elevates the prestige of the person being escorted. He was a big deal so they made his entrance a big deal.

kek

Makes him look dangerous or something i guess

>>1260316
to protect everyone in the arena of course

>>1260316
making sure that nWo doesn't attack him before the match

>>1260316
I think the better question is why couldn't get police officers who weren't fat old men who look like they'd rather be at home with a good 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

To make sure that he doesn't lose his way to the ring. Chris Jericho have explained this before.

>1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle
Sounds pretty comfy right now desu senpai

it looked cool.
he looked dangerous.
you know. Goldberg reasons

they thought the husbands of all the bitches he fucked were going to attack him obviously

It was explained that people back then had an actual hit on him so they had to have a lot of security to protect him, random fact: Did you know they carried real guns and tasers on the way to the ring?

>>1261858
They were real cops. WCW was a fucking zoo, there was no security at the shows guys would jump the rail to fight Goldberg, the Steiners, Abbott and Hogan everyweek

Security wasn't an omnipresent thing like it is in WWE.

>>1260316
It was a cool gimmick and WCW took it from ECW just like WWE used to also steal a ton of shit from ECW.

Taz was escorted to the ring long before goldberg. By his judo friends and also by security.

>>1262049
Taz also did MMA ass-kicker long before Goldberg entered wrestling.

Taz was so fucking great.

>>1262057
He was pretty much the first MMA type wrestler ever in wrestling. He's one of my all time favorites and as a kid I would say he was definitely my favorite wrestler.

Also cool fact he was the first wrestler to make wrestlers tapping out in wrestling go mainstream. No one was really doing it in the US prior to him.

>>1262082
Bret Hart?

>>1262179
WWF didn't start doing tapouts until after Shamrock debuted.

because the nWo was trying to get him

>>1260316
To protect other people from him.

because he was autistic

>18+ to me

Go look it up faggot. Numerous guys have went on record saying that Taz is the guy who popularized the tapout in wrestling. MMA-ish gimmicks didn't really even become a thing until Taz. Doesn't matter whether he was a real fighter or not. Fact is he pretty much innovated both things.

>>1263323
Shamrock popularised it
Tazz was an outlaw nobody back when Shamrock popularised it

>>1263348
Way to miss my previous post >>1262049

You are an idiot. If Taz was such a nobody, WWE would have never hired him and he would have never got a lot of people excited to see him in WWE. People still chant ECW at WWE shows sometimes and people still cheer for certain ECW wrestlers when they return. Shamrock is mostly an MMA guy and will mostly be remembered for his MMA career.

Nice try though underaged.
