Top IMPACT Name Wasn’t Sure Of Frankie Kazarian’s Return Until Promo At Hard To Kill AEW

A top IMPACT name wasn’t sure of Frankie Kazarian’s return until his promo at Hard To Kill.

At IMPACT Hard To Kill, Frankie Kazarian announced he had signed a deal to return to IMPACT Wrestling full-time. He previously worked for All Elite Wrestling before asking for and being granted his release to make his IMPACT Wrestling return.

Speaking with Steve Fall of Wrestlingnews.co, Gail Kim looked back on the Hard To Kill pay-per-view and recalled how very few people knew about Kazarian’s return to the promotion. He said:

“It was kept pretty tightly under wraps. Not many people knew, and when I mean not many people, meaning even in management didn’t know. Yes, he was very hidden.”

“I have a very close relationship with Frankie and Tracy, his wife, because I used to be roommates with them back in the day, so we’re like a big, happily family.”

“So I did know Frankie was coming, but even Tracy tried to throw me off the day of. So I texted her during the day, I said, ‘When is Frankie getting here?’ She said, ‘What do you mean?’ So she totally threw me off.”

“I totally believed that he wasn’t coming to Hard To Kill. Then I saw him doing his promo, and that’s when I discovered that he was there that day. This jd me, being in the office [laughs]. So I was like, ‘Oh, I’m so mad right now. I’m so mad that they hid it from me.'”

Kim continued on to describe her happiness that Kazarian is back with IMPACT and emphasized that he is in great shape. She stated:

“I’m just so happy for Frankie. He’s told me, and I can see it, he is in incredible shape right now. He can go another ten years if he wanted. He showed that he’s still got it in the ring.”

“He had incredible matches with Josh Alexander, Mike Bailey, all these guys previously that you just saw before he signed this long-term deal with us. So I’m excited.”

“I’m excited to see him coming back home, and I’m excited to see the matches that he’s gonna put out there because that short little run he did with us last year was incredible. The match with Chris Sabin was incredible.”

“I’m all about my generation of wrestling, especially people who are in incredible shape like Mickie and Frankie and all these people who can still go, to kind of guide the next generation while they’re still there to show them how to do this wrestling thing at the top of their game.”

Frankie Kazarian is scheduled to face The Design’s Kon at IMPACT Wrestling No Surrender on Friday, February 24.
