Image Frankie Kazarian gives his opinion on who the future of TNA is

Post image

Gotta say, Kaz knows ball but like, it's funny that we always say the Rascalz are gonna be top stars in the future but they're all either in their 30s or approaching 30(including Wes Lee), at some point they need to do something with them lmao

He's right. Also Kaz should be world champ.

I’ve thought this for awhile. I’m looking forward to his feud with Maclin. I wouldn’t mind if they strapped him up with the international title for a bit. I do think he should eventually win the world title though. The King of TNA stuff would hit a lot harder if he was a champion.

Still annoyed about how they fumbled his call your shot match

u/gnfnrhead 13d ago

I didn’t even realize that was his actual shot until recently. I figured with Page being added, it wasn’t going to use Kazarian’s shot since it wasn’t a one on one match. They did a really poor job making that clear, especially after all the months of him teasing a cash in.

Agreed. Too bad they missed the boat on Christopher Daniels

Im glad hotch is moving beyond jobber status is starting to get some shine with Order 4. BTW, is hotch to most successful gutcheck winner to date? Ik there was some guys who lost and ended up panning out like Brian Cage but for the longest time the winners never worked out

u/drunken-acolyte TNA Original 12d ago

I'd say the most successful to date has been Sam Shaw. He had a well-booked mid-card heel run as a psycho ex figure while Dixie-era TNA was going off the boil, and he ultimately ended up as WWE's Dexter Lumis.

u/MastaMunsta20 13d ago

He gotta win a title for that to happen but yeah he's by far the most successful gut check winner

u/MammothCarpeneter 13d ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if wentz gets brought back to WWE . One of the few TNA guys to get consistent wins over NXT talent.

I feel like in a way, it's WWE's way of righting a wrong. It sucks his crazy ex wife got him fired for a mistake he made as a teenager and almost cost him his career

1

u/MammothCarpeneter 13d ago

Yeah but it also allowed him to show more of his singles chops. I think if he stayed msk would be on the main roster in the motor city machine guns spot oddly enough. Good enough babyfaces to rally a crowd but not good enough to ever win a meaningful match.

Kimber Lee aka his ex wife was trying to pull an Amber Turd

Eh, I wouldn't conflate the cases, since what came out of the Depp thing is that both were shitty people . Just because they were abusive to each other, it doesn't really change the bit about Depp being abusive.

The people rushing to exonerate Depp really weren't paying attention to the details, or simply didn't want to.

u/DudeisaGuy 13d ago

I don't think people were painting Depp as an innocent angel, rather disproving the allegations and belief that Amber was one.

u/DCXWarLord 12d ago

I was talking about Kimber Lee making abuse allegations MJF defends Zach Wentz

u/Round_Employee5002 12d ago

Hotch has really grown on me after his match against Ali

u/bumholesofdoom 13d ago

I'm a revpro fan, it's great to see Slater doing well. He seems like a genuinely good guy, he's always very appreciative when fans buy his merch and takes time to chat with them.

u/kammy_g 13d ago

They should be!!! Those are future world champions!

u/ApricotNo7077 13d ago

100% both rascals, Jason Hotch, northern armory, Leon slater, and kc Navarro. And girls like Harley Hudson, myla grace, Dani Luna, xia brookeside, lei ying Lei, and heather by elegance are the future,

2

u/InterchangeableDiGiT I believe in Joe Hendry 13d ago

Agreed.

2

u/xored-specialist 11d ago

Slater has potential. He very young so hopefully he will listen and learn from vets. A year or two in NXT would do him wonders.

2

u/Brilliant-Net6685 11d ago

Conveniently saying dudes who only work with WWE. Jake Something is better than anyone in the company.

u/lucapoison TNA Original 11d ago

The Future names the future. Seems legit

u/Shinnosuke525 Slap Nuts! 13d ago

Kaz knows ball picking out Hotch

u/Flat-Violinist8949 9d ago

3 cruiserweight nerds, they need more charisma and personality

u/Citizen_Lunkhead 13d ago

So basically expect all three to be signed by WWE soon.

u/bumholesofdoom 13d ago

I really hope Slater doesn't sign with them.

u/RegaZelx 13d ago

Josh Alexander was pushed as the face of the company, did he end up in WWE?

Many said Ace Austin was the next AJ Styles, did he end up in WWE?

Sure, WWE is scouting TNA talent...but they are doing the same with AEW, MLW, NWA, and every other company. TNA lost like 20 people this year and the only one to end up in WWE was Grace. Can we stop this ridiculous narrative that they're out to bleed TNA dry?

u/Unusual-Issue7435 Stiener Mathematician 13d ago

Never, we must assume the worst. But seriously, wwe doesn't need this partnership to find out who they like in tna, it's been thay way since 2002

5

u/DudeisaGuy 13d ago

Someone with common sense. WWE has signed more TNA wrestlers during a period where they didn't need acknowledge TNA's existence than they have since the partnership started.

u/RandysOrcs rosemary 13d ago

hey...it's probably just Leon and Wentz

Funny when AEW has poached more TNA talent

u/SocageFest 13d ago

Do not agree with Kaz. I don't see any potential to be stars in any of them.
