As a teenager and young adult in Kagemori Junior High School, Taue was quite active in various sports such as shotput, baseball and judo.
After graduating, Taue would work as a part time auto-mechanic, while attending the Saitama Prefectural Chichibu High School.
After many from All Japan's roster would leave for Genichiro Tenryu's new promotion, the SWS, Taue would band with Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi and Toshiaki Kawada to form the Super Generation Army.
