Frankie Kazarian has worked his final dates with TNA Wrestling at last night's pay-per-view tapings according to PWInsider.com.

Kazarian fist made his TNA debut in 2003 quickly chasing the TNA X Division Championship and competing in the first ever Ultimate X match. He went on to hold X-Division and Tag Team championships.

In 2005 he left TNA and was signed to WWE's then developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling, and made a brief debut on WWE TV before leaving shortly after because the company had no plans to revamp their cruiserweight division.

He returned to TNA in 2007 after some time on the independent circuit.

Kazarian also worked as Suicide.

Don't watch TNA so can't give much of a comment but surprised that both him and Daniels are now gone.

Predictable enough. Shame though because him and Daniels were one of the only watchable parts about the show. Now it's just up to you, Spud

Nice spin on " the company had no plans to revamp their cruiserweight division." Because Taker had him fired for showing no respect when he got there.

So who's left in the company at this stage? AJ, Daniels, Sabin... there seems to be people leaving every week. The roster must be pretty weak at this stage.

Storm seems to be the only original left, but shit, you have to start looking towards the future, TNA should've done this in 07. Maybe they wouldn't have been in the shape they are now.

Very solid talent, and like Chris said the heel team with Daniel was one of the highlights of the last few years. Could have kept him around to train younger talent at least.

They probably couldn't though. I assume he was asking for more than TNA could pay, and didn't want to take a pay cut.

Get Bad Influence in ROH. So many great potential matches, BI/Briscoes, BI/Young Bucks, BI/reDRagon & you can easily bring over Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov (Forever Hooligans) too

TNA can save money in bring in younger talent, simple as that. Loved Kazarian, he was one of my favourite parts of TNA. I'm curious to see what he does now.

Not really a big loss here, kind of surprised he lasted as long as he did. I swear he was apart of so many pushes/feuds/factions that ended up goin' nowhere. Well Fo(u)rtune main evented for awhile but he really didn't. Had that failed push to become a top star as just KAZ. I can't say much more, I did enjoy Bad Influence though.

I'm mostly upset that he won't tell anymore corny jokes with awful comedic timin' but oh well.

Really liked him in PWG.

Always reminds me of the bad guy out of Kindergarten Cop though, awful look.

He was only a goodhand, he was never enough to make a maineventer anywhere.
