Headbanger Mosh Speaks About Coaching At WWE Performance Center, Shares Stories Involving Shawn Michaels & The Undertaker

Headbanger Mosh is lending his experiences to the next generation.

Guest appearing on an episode of HUGE POP! was former WWF Tag Team Champion Chaz Warrington a.k.a. Mosh of The Headbangers.

Mosh is helping out at the WWE Performance Center. He stated that he’s learning to critique less and further dove into that. He told a story about telling NXT talents to do something a certain way, but the talents had been told to do something else by NXT overseer Shawn Michaels.

The talents ended up doing what Mosh suggested, and the result was that everyone got yelled at. Mosh said he’s normally working with tag teams when he goes to the Performance Center.

“Yes,” Mosh responded when asked if he finds himself critiquing tag team matches on a harsher scale. “But not as bad as I used to. I used to really bad until I started going to the (WWE) PC. That changed everything for me because I realized then how much the business changed, and where they want the business to go. What you’re seeing on TV is what they want, and I’ll admit it today and I still have a problem with it when I’m at the P.C., I’m constantly telling everybody to slow down, and they’re like, ‘No. We’re being told speed up’ and I’m like, ‘Okay. Slow down. You need moments between spots. You need moments in between moves…’ The style’s changed. It’s evolved into what it is now. So, my critiquing has come down a lot. So now what I’m trying to do, instead of just critiquing it is helping with details of what they’re doing, and I don’t even tell them, hey, why don’t you do this? Because I made a mistake one time… I said, ‘Do it this way,’ and then I found out after the fact they were told by Shawn Michaels to do it the way they were doing it and I tried getting them to change it and they did it and then we all got yelled at. So what I do now is I suggest… Most of the time when I go up to the P.C., they had me working with (Steve) Corino and Cory Weston (Wesley Blake) who work with the tag teams which is great.”

He brought up when he coached a match for the WWE LFG on A&E show. The talents he was collaborating with were a part of The Undertaker’s team. Undertaker wanted a certain part of the match removed, and Mosh approached him about it.

“I was producing an (WWE) L.F.G. match, and the guys came up to me and they were like — and Taker was their coach, or their legend or whatever you wanna call him — and they came back, they’re like, ‘Oh, we went over the match with Taker and he liked everything but he wanted this one thing out.’ I’m like, ‘Okay.’ So I walked over to him and I was like, ‘Mark,’ I go, ‘What are you doing? Why are you changing my match around?’ He goes, ‘Because it was good except for that one part. That one part sucked,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, it kind of did. I’m just giving you a hard time’ but, it’s cool to get up there and I was working with him and Bubba (Ray Dudley) and Booker (T) to see all their different perspectives. But instead of critiquing now, I’m trying to watch and actually learn, because I have to relearn a style all over again, because I’m old school.”

The Headbangers (Mosh & Thrasher) are wrapping up their in-ring careers. 2026 will be the final year. The Headbangers are signed to WWE Nostalgia contracts.
