Suicide Unmasked! Well, Sort Of...

[NSL]

On last night's Impact!, Homicide stole Suicide's outfit, and used it to sneak attack Daniels, further building the Ultimate X match we have on Sunday.

He cut a promo later in the show, calling out Suicide, saying he knew who it was (obviously), and would expose him. Most of us, if not all, know who it is, but how do you think it'll happen?

Don West did a good job of building Red for the match, and I still believe he'll win. But, this leaves the option of Suicide winning, and going on with a feud against Homicide, either ending in the unmasking, or resulting in the unmasking at BFG.

I'm not gonna lie but when Suicide (Homicide) started attacking Daniels and started taking off the gloves, I paid close attention. I thought that Kaz was turning heel and that he was going to reveal himself. But it was pretty cool of how a suspended Homicide disguised himself as Suicide and got himself some.

Even though I got what Homicide said in his backstage promo, it was poorly done though.

Amazing Red needs to talk to really get over. To me, he's too green and generic. He looks like a created wrestler from the iMPACT! game with the music and all.

 

[Lancer]

I can't wait for Suicide to unmask, and, yes it is inevitable. When the character started taking off his gloves when he attacked Daniels, it appeared that Suicide was about to reveal his identity. I was ready to pop out loud.

Very clever on the part of Homicide to use the disguise to ambush Daniels...wonder where he just found a Suicide suit and mask just laying around? Just kidding, I know it doesn't have to make sense.

The only problem I have is that if it is indeed Kaz underneath the mask, when he finally does rip it off, will the fans even react the way TNA might desire? I think Kaz is too far out of the TNA audience's consciousness to even render a loud reaction when it happens. When was the last time Kaz wrestled as himself, after the World X Cup in 2008 I believe. A long time...

Perhaps there was a reason why Kaz ended up under a mask with a character who does not speak. The lacklustre responses that perhaps fuelled Kaz's 'retirement' and gimmick change might be revisited if/when Suicide unmasks.

The crowd may well think "I vaguely remember him. Didn't he retire? You mean he has been Suicide this whole time? I don't really care"

 

[DigitalNight]

I have a feeling that the unmasking will end up in a total wash when he has to go out and fight he same people again and again because they have a problem with Kaz instead of Suicide.

It'll be great to have Kaz back for however long , but it'll be quite the 'meh' moment in my opinion.

 

[Adalam]

What could happen is Kaz starts returning to wrestle as himself but also wrestles as Suicide, sparking similar questions back when Daniels first returned. After winning a X-Division title match as Suicide, Kaz removes the mask and reveals himself as having been Suicide the whole time.

 

[Mitch Henessey]

I hope the unmasking of Suicide happens soon. It's time for it to happen because Suicide has been getting stayle these past couple of months, and the mystique of his character is gone.I think the moment when Suicide gets unmasked will be a let down. This should've happened months ago while the Motor City Machine Guns were sleuthing to find his identity, and accusing Daniels every chance they got. That's when the Suicide storyline was at it's peak, but now it's been cold for a long time.

The ultimate X match is being hyped to perfection and I can see more then one feud coming out of it. This is what the X division needs so bad and this might be my favorite match on the card. The whole Don West thing works well and making it for the title 3 days before was golden. I really wanted Kaz to show himself but I am thinking that suicide will not be reveled at BFG because suicide will appear at the last second with a new outfit and beat the pulp out of homicide and in the end leading to that costing suicide the title and Red retaining. Can't wait till suicide finely is revealed but i am leaning toward suicide telling us himself for a little more drama.

 

[The Gribbler]

I really don't see Kaz getting a good pop for this return...at best he will get an 'Oh...its him' pop.

I don't think he was over enough with the TNA fanbase when he left for them to care much. He was over sure, but not as much so as Daniels was when he left in my opinion at least...

Just My Opinion

 

[BradXXX]

I hope Suicide never unmasks. The Suicide character is a lot more entertaining and interesting than Kaz ever was as himself. The Suicide character's mystery and move set are way better for him than a being zero charisma, vanilla wrestler. Plus we'll hopefully never see the flux capacitor again which is the worst version of the spanish fly that I've ever seen.

Ha this headline is like a standard Wrestlezone headline.

Anyway, yes Suicide will probably unmask soon. I'd prefer that when they decide to eliminate they character he simply go away or something. Revealing him as Kaz, someone who was never over with the crowd and has an extremely boring personality is not going to get a huge pop. Maybe in the Impact Zone where people like to think they are part of TNA they'll get a reaction, but it will do absolutely nothing in terms or ratings, merchandise, or even Kaz' popularity. Don't get me wrong, Kaz is a very very good wrestler...he just hasn't found the right character, and unmasking as Suicide is not going to help with that.

Something that might be interesting would be in Suicide unmasked to be Mr.Kennedy/Anderson. Reality-wise we know it wouldn't be possible but wouldn't it make for an interesting story is they said Kennedy was Suicide all along, meaning that at one point we was wrestling in both WWE and TNA at the same time? I actually think that's something that could effectively end the Suicide gimmick and make it seem useful at the same time. I'm telling you, this is a good idea.

 

[NSL]

I don't see why everyone thinks that the unmasking will mean nothing. He was getting a pretty big reaction before he left, earning the shot for the TNA title and wrestling some great matches on Impact. The moment he takes off the mask will probably end up as a non-event, but I'm sure Tenay and Tazz will do their job, hyping the big return, and reminding the fans at home of what he once was.

For all we know, he takes off the mask, but stays in the same "character". Suicide's music starts with "He's coming..." repeating, and every week, it gets a little louder. It's obviously hinting towards a return, and allows for him to keep the music, and the moveset once he's back as himself.

I'll mark for it...

Because Kaz is not over (if they decide to unmask as Kaz). Right now Suicide is Suicide...not Kaz. Having him unmask would be the equivalent of having a character in WWE unmask on RAW, after a year of buildup, and turning out to someone like Paul Burchill. I don't believe that Suicide hype will carry over to "regular unmasked wrestler."

If it is Kennedy unmasking, then yes, I think it will mean something.

 

[NSL]

If it is Kennedy unmasking, then yes, I think it will mean something.

If it is him, it will mean I need new drawers. Because I'll shit all over myself. I can't stand him, and don't want to see him anywhere near the 6-sided ring. The best thing he'll do is end his own career on national television. It amazes me anyone would consider signing him.

I really hope they keep it as Kaz. I liked him, and he'd breathe new life into the X division, and keep it going the same path it has been, which is making it relevant again.
