In an interview with Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful, TNA Wrestling star Frankie Kazarian discussed various topics, including his unbeaten streak in Ladder matches at one point in his career.
This is what Frankie Kazarian said, “I appreciate you saying that. For a long time at TNA, I was on a pretty cool run of being undefeated in ladder matches for a long time. Starting with, I had one of my very favorite matches against Christian Cage in 2007, a ladder match that kind of helped put me on the map as a top singles guy here in the company; with AJ Styles and with the Young Bucks, Christopher Daniels and just you name it. I’m known for, in terms of the word gimmick match, I’m kind of known as one of the Ultimate X guys because of course I was in the first one of those matches.”
On why he enjoys Ladder matches:
“But ladder matches, I was always—in terms of specialty matches—I always enjoyed those because I’m of the generation that saw Razor and Shawn do the mainstream first one, and just was amazed and mesmerized and then saw what the Hardyz and the Dudleyz and Edge & Christian brought that to and just tried to take what those gentlemen put in place and move it forward in our own creative direction. Look, I’m a traditionalist. I like a straight up singles match, but give me a good ladder match, straight up ladder match with two very talented wrestlers and that can steal the show on any card. I’ve been blessed to have a lot of really cool opponents and be in some really good scenarios when it comes to ladder matches. I’ve also lost a lot of blood and gotten banged up quite a bit because they are very dangerous. I had a cool run of ladder matches, especially early on in TNA here.”
