Frankie Kazarian Reveals His Elite Hunter Persona In AEW Was Born Out Of Anger And Aggression

Pro wrestling veteran and former AEW Star Frankie Kazarian recently took part in an IMPACT Press Pass Conference Call, where he talked about a number of topics such as how his Elite Hunter persona in AEW was born out of anger and aggression of how he and Christopher Daniels ended as a team.

Frankie Kazarian said:

“That was basically born out of…I did not pick the name, or ever endorse the name. It is just something they said and it stuck, but that’s a whole other podcast. That was based on anger and aggression, how me and Christopher Daniels as a team was ended because of outside interference. It was basically ‘This time I’m out for blood, I’m out for myself.’”

Frankie Kazarian also talked about how his in-ring style kind of changed after the character was born as well as how a lot of the character is still in him going forward and how kind of what he is now is a hybrid of the previous persona in IMPACT Wrestling and his new character in AEW and he will use the character in his new run in IMPACT.

Frankie Kazarian said:

“I kind of changed my in-ring style after that. A little bit harder-hitting, and a little bit more aggressive. A lot of that character is still in Frankie Kazarian going forward in terms of attitude and in terms of in-ring style. Kind of what you got know is kind of a hybrid of the character that Frankie Kazarian was early on in IMPACT and what I became at the end of our tag run with myself and Christopher Daniels in SCU. It’s helped me a lot in terms of creating a new persona and freshening up a little bit, and creating a character that is ready to be the singles-guy in IMPACT Wrestling.”
