Frankie Kazarian seems to be right at home with IMPACT Wrestling, as he should. Frankie has a storied career with this company, dating back to 2003.
Kazarian is a former 5x TNA/IMPACT Wrestling X Division Champion, a former 3x TNA Tag Team Champion (2x w/Christopher Daniels, 1x w/Eric Young), former 2x King of the Mountain (2008, 2009).
Jeff Jarrett was speaking with Conrad Thompson for his podcast, My World: Episode #116. Various topics came up, including Frankie Kazarian.
On Frankie Kazarian:
“You took half of the answer directly out my mouth. Okay. And the first time Conrad I ever heard that was my man talking about Eddie Marlin, his father-in-law’s tag team partner Eddie Gilbert’s dad, Tommy Gilbert, he would say, and I’ve heard him say it to his face, oh damn Tommy, you’re just too damn good. You can be a healer, a baby face. You can work on the main event or the opening match. You’re just too good, damn good in the ring. And when you look at so many talents, Frankie’s not the first, not the last. You just said, Dolph [Ziggler]. There’s, there’s probably five to 10 guys on the e w roster, five to 10 guys on the WWE roster. It’s the nature of the beast when you look at it. So we knew our top guys. Let’s say [Samoa] Joe, AJ [Styles], and pick your that, whatever. And then our tag team would be America’s Most Wanted, and I’m talking about coming on the up-and-comers, and then you kinda look at heels and baby faces. It’s really; I don’t wanna say it’s a flip of the coin. I’ve fallen into that in and out of my career. It’s when you’re going to have a match, the old proverbial saying with a broomstick, it can be a positive, but it can damn sure be negative. That’s just the reality of our industry.”
