I think Daniels and Kazarian work well together, but every time I see Frankie I can't help but feel like he's fallen pretty far. No, I'm not making the complaint you think I am. I'm not talking about the fact that, at one point in time, he was getting a very successful singles push into the main event scene. I just feel like he's not at the same level anymore. He doesn't have the "it" factor that he once had. Maybe that's due to how he's being booked. Who knows? I just feel like his potential has plateaued. Am I the only one who doesn't see the same Kazarian that we saw during his big push back in '07?

I've said it since I started watching it on that infamous night where they went live that Kazarian is nothing more than TNA's John Morrison in the sense that he seems a good athlete but in just like Morrison was, devoid of charisma and any mic skills to take him to the next level.

iv noticed this as well.he just dosent have something that he needs to get him further than he is.at one point it looked hed get the kind of push austin aries is getting but thankfully that never happened as kaz just isnt interesting.just imagine if he wasnt aligned with the incrediably underrated daniels who has been on top of his game both in the ring and especially on the mic the last 6 months or so kaz would be even further down the card .bottom line the guy dosent have what it takes to get over.hes as far as hes ever going.

If there is a company where mic skills mean shit than it's TNA so I don't have a problem with Kazarian not being a perfect talker. He is a perfect athelete, he can put on a five star match when he has the right opponent and hell, I would give him the ball and I would make him run as far is he can.

Oh and...Dale if you think that Morrison has no mic skills, watch this.

I don't know where you get this perception that TNA is purely wrestling and not talking, most Impacts have more promos than Raw.

You need to be able to cut a promo no matter what company you are in, hence why AJ (Styles) still isn't cemented as a main eventer despite being in the company a decade. Bully Ray gets pushed over guys like that because he can talk and mould an interesting character for himself.

Kaz is in the Daniels and AJ catagory of solid workers with the personality of a librarian.

This is why TNA is not on the same level is it used to be like 4-5 years ago. Bully Ray is pretty entertaining on the mic but in the ring...meh. As long as he can't put on a match I can watch with my mouth open I don't give a fuck about him.

AJ, Daniels and Kaz...solid workers? The three you named are the hardest working men in this business. I can't take your opinion away from you or change it but I think that everything you just pointed out is pure bullshit.

Was the video you posted supposed to change my mind and say that he's got skills, because all it did was cement what I originally knew and that is he sucks with a microphone in hand.

Also, care to explain why AJ, Kaz and Daniels are the three hardest working men in this business? This should be fun :alicia:

Other than saying Daniels has no personality, I completely agree with this post (Watch some of Daniels's stuff this year, he's carrying this hilariously bad feud with AJ). Bully deserves the push he's getting as he's probably the most entertaining guy in TNA at the moment, he's definitely top 5. As for Kazarian, he's good where he is now, I never saw him becoming anything big, but always as a guy that would put on some great mid-card matches.

There was a period of time in 2007 where I thought he could be a star. He won a Ladder Match against Christian that was pretty solid that got him a title match with Angle which I thought was great. I thought he was going places after that but he didn't.

He's currently one half of the tag team champions, he's doing pretty good right now. In my opinion, TNA rushed his singles push. Should have given him a good run with the X-Divisin title before trying to put him in the main event.

Still think he is a solid talent but maybe just has never devolped how people expected, there is just something missing in him that something special reminds me a bit of Alberto Del Rio in that sense.

I always thought that Kaz would have a world title run or two by now, but his character never really developed to the next level. I never felt like he drew any emotion out of me as a viewer like for example, AJ Styles does. Je always just a background character, none of his really interested me outside of his matches. That, in my eyes, always held him back.
