Frankie Kazarian Calls Leon Slater, Jason Hotch, And Zachary Wentz The Future Of TNA
Frankie Kazarian praises several young TNA wrestlers.
Frankie Kazarian is a top star in TNA Wrestling and serves as a link between the company’s past and its future. He was one of the top young stars during the heyday of TNA Wrestling when names like Kurt Angle, Sting, and AJ Styles were on the roster. Today, TNA has great young wrestlers like Leon Slater, The Rascalz, M By Elegance, and the Northern Armory.
Speaking with fellow TNA Original SoCal Val for WrestlingNewsCo, Kazarian praised Leon Slater, Zachary Wentz, and Jason Hotch as some of the names who have great respect for the industry’s history and are stars who will not only be the future of TNA but also of wrestling as a whole.
“Leon Slater is the first that comes to mind. I was very fortunate to wrestle him the last time we were in the UK, two years ago, and be involved in the match that got him his contract. We signed him right there in the ring. I was part of that, which was really cool. Leon Slater is the obvious choice. He is, right now as we speak, proving why he belongs, and he is the future of this business.
“Two other guys, Jason Hotch, that kid has a lot of raw talent and a lot of ability. He has a great look. He has a great attitude. The same can be said for Zachary Wentz. Those guys, all, the one thing they have in common is the respect they have for this business, and they’re hungry, and they’re very coachable, which is a quality I look forward to, especially in a young wrestler. So those three guys, when we’re talking about male talent, those three guys, I say, in the next three to five years, you’re going to be seeing and hearing a lot from those guys in TNA and just in pro wrestling in general. “
Elsewhere in the interview, Kazarian named some of the WWE Superstars he would like to wrestle if he gets the chance to cross over to the other side. Read more here.
