Word was making the rounds yesterday that Taz and TNA were at odds over issues with pay. According to reports, Taz was to fly to Nashville for a recording session to do commentary for upcoming episodes of Impact and he failed to make that flight.
All references to TNA were removed from his Twitter account and rumors quickly circulated that he would be leaving the company soon. Sure enough, it was announced today that he has done just that.
After 5+ years TNA & Taz have mutually decided to part ways. A champ in the ring & on the mic, we wish him nothing but success! @OfficialTAZ

Taz himself is keeping it classy (for now):
Like to thank TNA Wrestling for the opportunity to apply my craft for past several years. Best wishes to them in the future.

Taz is now free to focus 100-percent on his podcast while working out his future in pro wrestling. Say, isn't Tough Enough coming back here shortly?
