I touched on this a bit in my thread regarding ending the Suicide gimmick to allow Christopher Daniels to return, but I see no reason why the same foundation can't be used to free Franky Kazarian from that horrible gimmick as well.
It's obvious Suicide is not over, he was never really over, and he's never really going to get over the crowd just has no idea who he is, or what he's supposed to represent. There's no debate in the value of the character here only in how to move on from it as painlessly as possible.
That said, why not give Kaz another run with his "The Future" gimmick? Everything about his in-ring style, down to his actual entrance when he draws the "air" box with his index fingers while standing on the second rope all say future to me. All his finishers are named after Back to the Future, so why not just go full circle with it?
It couldn't possibly hurt him any more than he's been stunted as Suicide.
Lose the Metallica nonsense get a decent set of tights with some futuristic graphic on the back, slick your hair straight back and do your thing, Kaz!
