Don't take this as a true fact. I heard the reason why TNA still has Kaz under the suit is that one of Kaz biceps looks messed up. Kaz suffered a biceps injury months ago and rumor is that he never did surgery on it, and its noticeable on his appearance. I personally think putting the Suicide character on Kaz was a big mistake cause Kaz's stock was rising to the main event level.

I think a wrestler on the booking committee would be a good thing. It would help balance out all the crazy, non-wrestling crap Russo proposes.  |

I dont like to yell NEWZ but I cant see AJ being frustrated if he wasn't ever upset about that long heel stint where he was booked to look like a dorky idiot.
Daniels was Curryman for a year...why would he now be upset about being legitimate again instead of a comedy jobber? Again, find it kinda hard to believe.
As for Kaz, I really dont care if he is upset. He could have just refused the Suicide thing...did anyone ever believe that was going to go anywhere? Apparently just him. I was surprised they even got any mileage or a title run out of the whole thing. He had an attitude problem in WWE too, didn't even want to cut his hair for a push. So, even though I really enjoy him as a performer I am going to say that considering his accomplishments and standing in the business versus attitude he should just be happy he gets a paycheck.

I could see some of these guys being upset to a certain degree, but not to the extent that it would be newsworthy.
In the case of Frankie, it makes some sense to me; yes, the Suicide character has succeeded to a certain degree, but it's certainly not letting him get to the level that they were clearly pushing him to before he went behind the mask. Before then, he was beating main eventers, and nearly pinned Angle, as well. Today, yes, he's won the X-Division title and had a couple of solid feuds, but the payoff of his eventual unmasking isn't going to have nearly the momentum that it could have if it was done sooner rather than later.
For Chris Daniels, I think he may feel there's a bit of inconsistency in his push, and I'd agree. He was brought back to main event at this year's Lockdown, but has at times been dropped to contend for the X-Division strap instead, then yo-yo'd back up, then down, etc. It's not like he's been THAT "yo-yo'd", and it's not an insult to be in X-Division title matches and be treated as a clear and dangerous contender, but I would understand Daniels feeling kind of like he lacks a certain level of direction right now.
As for AJ, eh, on a certain level, he may have a point. I mean, he did look very strong against Sting, he hasn't been pinned or anything, and new heels that could challenge him are being built up pretty quickly (would love to see Wolfe/Nigel, Young, and Homicide built to the point of being able to challenge him, if not feud with him), but, as with Daniels, there's been some inconsistencies, a bit of a lack of direction. Still, in AJ's case, it's nothing that couldn't be righted relatively quickly.
In all, I think, and this is just MY opinion, all three guys have arguments, but, really, none have anything to be that upset about. They're all booked pretty strongly, they all are making a decent living at strong positions of the card, etc. I can appreciate if any of them feel they need a better defined direction for their character to take and present, but not badly enough that they'd consider leaving or raging against the booker.

I think Kaz genuinely can feel aggrieved. He beat Christian in 'Christian's match', was getting over, looked great and was solidified by Angle in the title match. Didn't he get saddled with a Black Reign feud not long after that? Following that up with Suicide is hardly capitalising on momentum. I've been a Russo apologist in the past, but his ADD when it comes to pushes and angles when he seems totally lose interest mid way through something is a real frustration. One of the main reasons I would say my interest in TNA has waned. Well to be fair, i would say the first injury that put Kaz on the shelf for about 4 months killed his momentum, and the second injury that put him on the shelf for another few months after that did not help him get it back. No need to blame TNA for Kaz being injury prone and they have pushed Suicide pretty hard and still are trying to keep him relevant. |

FACT: Kaz asked for his release because they turned down his "Mariachi w/ a guitar case full of guns" gimmick.   This is why I come to these boards WAAAAY more than I should. |

It's like a seesaw... on one side you have "Superman" and on the other side you have "Weak Champion" One thing I remember about Howard Cosell was how proud he was when he won the #1 spot in two concurrent TV Guide polls: "Best Sports Commentator" and "Worst Sports Commentator". If AJ Styles is getting news from both possible extremes, I take it as a sign he's doing something very, very right. |
