Frankie Kazarian On Winning His First World Title At Age 48: Dreams Do Not Have An Expiration Date
Frankie Kazarian got the job done.
Back in November, Kazarian made history on an episode of TNA iMPACT, as he cashed in his Call Your Shot gauntlet trophy on Mike Santana to win the TNA World Championship. This was the first major world title win of Kazarian’s career.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, ‘The King’ himself spoke about the achievement and how he used to think he was never going to win a world title.
“Absolutely. I mean, there was a time early on, like 2007-ish, where I was kind of on the come-up as a singles babyface, getting some good matches, and had a lot of good momentum. But just seeing who was above me on the ladder was like, just don’t think it’s going to happen for me. I will say, at the time, from an in-ring standpoint, I think I was a very good wrestler. I don’t think I had developed my personality and promo skills to what you need to be a World Champion. Then years went by and kind of became a fleeting thought, it’s just not going to ever happen. But I always like to say this, dreams do not have an expiration date. So, 48 years old or 28 years old, doesn’t matter. I got the job done.”
