Powerhouse Hobbs was recently interviewed by Brandon Walker of Rasslin', where he revealed that Taz's mentorship extends beyond what you see on television.

"(He helps me) weekly. Not just at TV, but on the road, I can call him up, ask him for advice, ask him to critique a match for me and he's more than happy to do it. I've had instances where he's pulled me aside and said, 'you need to go out and be a strength assassin, do what you do. Separate yourself from the pack.' That's what I do. I was a huge Taz fan growing up anyway. Shutting the hell up, opening my ears, and listening, it's paid off so much."
