Yeah because Player Uno being "paused" and no-selling getting beat up until he gets "un-paused", or kicking turtle shells at people isn't wrestlecrap right? Give me a break.

Even his name is Wrestlecrap... real smart name for a wrestler to have after the Benoit incident. Did I just see that? So people can't move on in the world just because Benoit killed his family...why does that make TNA tasteless? What a load of shit. Its got nothing to do with TNA. If I think of Suicide the first thing to pop up into my head isn't Benoit you know and I'm sure alot of other people agree. So Suicide is disgusting but I suppose Homicide is way better.

Absolute horrid waste of Kaz, who was getting over huge when he was given a chance against the big boys. Hmm, the guy is getting over as a potential main eventer...
LET'S RUN A RESIGNATION ANGLE THEN PUT HIM IN A VIDEO GAME SUIT.
Just ... ugh.

Its a perfect name for the gimmick, because its career suicide.

Y'know...I don't think its a bad idea per se. Characters based off of anime and video games isn't such a bad idea. Its just that, they chose the wrong guy for the job. Kazarian didn't really need the gimmick, and honestly, he doesn't really wrestle a style that would get the gimmick over. If they had gotten Mistico, or El Blazer, and turned him loose and let him go insane under the mask, then we might have had something. The reason Tiger Mask had done so well is because they put Satoru Sayama, one of the most innovative wrestlers of all time, someone COMPLETELY different from what everyone in New Japan was doing, under a popular cartoon character persona, and played it up.
But since its a guy like Kazarian, whom is good at what he does, but not anything altogether different, it doesn't really work. Not only that, they've managed to kill whatever momentum Kaz had, as well. Its really not a character I see lasting for very long.

Better than Glacier.
I think the Suicide character could have actually worked, but Mike Tenay killed it by saying "Straight from the Impact video game" every time he came out.

I kind of hope they have Kaz pull a Dustin Rhodes and just take off his mask, call the whole thing stupid and join up with the Frontline.

I really think it's a waste of Kaz. He should be in the Frontline feuding the Main Event Mafia since from a kayfabe and even shoot standpoint he has plenty to gripe about.

There was actually a pretty good reaction from the crowd this week, but I really hate the idea of some character coming in for random appearances and having wrestlers oversell for him. That's putting aside the whole "straight from the video game" bit, which is just silly.

The thing that gets me is, the character seems to have no direction. I know that it's pretty early for it yet, but hasn't he attacked about three or four different people in a month's time? I know his vignettes talked about "revenge" or some such, but revenge on who?

Technically, aren't ALL the top TNA guys straight out of the video game? Kurt Angle was in that video game! Samoa Joe was also in that video game.
WWE should start doing this too.
"Look at that King, straight out of Smackdown vs Raw 2009 here comes John Cena!!"
