What Does Kazarian Need to Become a Star?

[xavyer]

Kaz in TNA is like Cody Rhodes in the WWE, the only difference is that the only thing that helps Cody is that he's the son of a legend, but for both of them, this is as far as they're gonna go, so what to their respective organizations do to keep them relevant, put them in a tag team with people more talented than them so they can keep being on tv, but as for Kaz to become a star, i don't mean this with disrespect, but there is nothing more he can do.......

It seems to me also that he has gone as far as he can go, Before he got with Daniels he never really made much noise outside of the X division. I think he is doing his best work now and should definitely stay with Daniels. I could see him winning the title at some point, but I don't think he will ever attain that mega over star status. I really really like what he is doing now, but I think a lot of that is becasue he is playing off of Daniels.

I see Kazarian as a jack of all trades, master of none... He can talk, he can wrestle but he does not truly stand out, he does not have the IT FACTOR. He definitely has talent though. I mean if I were to compare Kaz to the Miz, im my opinion Kaz has him beat in all areas. Can wrestle better, talk better, looks more intimidating etc but I digress.... these are different companies.

Kaz and Daniels should keep doing what they're doing and they can go down as another great tag team that TNA made. Not everyone has to be a world champion or main eventer.

I don't think he'll ever be a big star. He just isn't particularly interesting in any facet of the sports entertainment business. That's not to say he's a 'bad' wrestler, because he isn't. He can do any move asked of him decently and he can garner a halfway decent crowd reaction. I just don't think he'll ever make it over the proverbial hump to being a big time star. And that's okay, he makes for a good henchman and upper midcard guy and wrestling will always need that kind of dude around.

In short, a personality, and a boat load of public speaking lessons.

I love Kaz & Daniels (I even referred to them as TNA's Edge & Christian), but no, he doesn't have what it takes to be a main event performer, because by default main event performers require exceptional verbal skill/talent, a great look/character and adequate in-ring ability, and tend to need at least two of the three to succeed. Jeff Hardy, for example, only has two of those three (adequate in-ring ability, great look/character), but still excels. Kazarian has one — adequate in-ring ability. His look/character is generic, and his verbal skills are poor. Listen to him when he grabs the mic each week and insults the fans – it comes across completely forced, and when you are in main event programs, that's the kind of performance that will kill a feud, often before it ever achieves lift-off.

I like Kaz, but as I've said of him in the past, the same holds true still — he's a Jack of all trades, master of none.

He is about as high as he's going to get. which honestly is probably a lot better than he should. So don't feel bad for the guy. He's done far more than most people in pro wrestling can dream of.
