Frankie Kazarian has worked for a number of promotions throughout his career, including Ring of Honor, AEW, and especially Impact Wrestling.
Speaking to “WhatCulture” for a new interview, Kazarian commented on the importance Impact Wrestling has had on his career, where he believes the company could go in the future, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On the importance Impact Wrestling has had on his career: “You can’t tell my story without talking about IMPACT Wrestling because I spent 12 years there, and I was there in the formative years, in the early times, though the good times and the bad, the ebbs and the flows. It’s cool, and I chose to go back there. That’s the place that I wanted to be. I liked what I saw in the management and the locker room, and I think the company’s got a really bright future, and it’s kind of my way of giving back.”
On whether the company has untapped potential: “It’s the law of diminishing returns. Pro wrestling, it’s the blessing and the curse. The market is saturated, there’s so much wrestling, and a lot of really, really good wrestling. It’s almost hard, if you’re a hardcore fan, to keep up with all of it. It really is. But IMPACT, even though we as a company have been around almost 21 years, it’s almost kind of the best-kept secret secret in wrestling because the television program’s really good, the pay-per-views always deliver. They’re really firing on all cylinders, and what we need to do is get more eyeballs on our product, and that’s something we’re actively trying to do. I’m there because I wanted to be there. I love the roster, I love the management team. I’m just trying to build that brand up, and I’m all about leaving wrestling better than when I found in.”
