Welcome to the Busted Open Podcast. This is Dave Vlagreca. On today's podcast, we have your TNA world champion, Frankie Kazarian, on the eve of the biggest night in TNA history right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. He's your TNA world heavyweight champion, and that is Mr. Frankie Kazarian. Frankie, how are you? And thank you so much for the time, champ.
You're welcome, I'm good. And I thought you were gonna say it doesn't get much cheesier than our guest, Frankie Kazarian. No,
never, never. No, I gotta give you a No, that's our host. Yeah, yeah. Oh, gotcha. Um I heard you on the Shout It Out Gotta give uh props to Shout It Out Loudcast with Tom and Zeus. They had you on and and you guys knocked it out of the park. So make sure you subscribe to the Shout It Out Loudcast. Frankie was on about a month or so ago and it was awesome. Uh so we thought we'd continue our Kish Cheese with you. Because we sell to but you know, Bully and I celebrate the hijinks of eighties kiss. 'Cause it doesn't get much better.
Yeah, I mean aga again, like I was telling you guys off air, you know, I got into KISS later in the game. Because coming up when I did uh KISS was kind of like Not in vogue if you were into like hard rock and and metal. Uh but as I got into KISS, I really dug Creatures of the Night and going back in their catalog, I dug all the songs that you guys would probably now call Kiss Cheese. You know, just I those were just songs that make you shake your ass and you know, I've obviously that's not the Kiss Devotees favorite songs, but I mean looking back now they've Stood the test of time, if you ask me. I mean, they're you know, they're as relevant today as you know, probably more so than they were back then.
Yeah, and when and when Gene Simmons looked like B. Arthur in nineteen eighty five, it might have been the high point of their career. All right. Enough of kiss. Let's get into what's good. Let's get into what we're doing.
Good. Good. Good. Good. Okay. Because I wasn't gonna let you just talk about KISS the whole time. No, of course not. The champ is two days away from the biggest day of his career, the biggest day in TNA history. So go ahead, Dave. Are you gonna thank you for letting
Let me uh do my job and and transition to the reason why we have Frankie Kazarian on because bully is absolutely right, Frankie. Like and we were just having the conversation. I can't think of anyone better. To be holding this TNA world championship? as you go into what I believe is the biggest night in TNA history, which is Thursday night, January fifteenth, in this debut episode on AMC. And for somebody who has waved the flag for this company I love the fact that you're the champion going into this show on Thursday.
I appreciate you saying that. And you know what I think I represent being the champion going into this new era is I represent where TNA has been. And I represent where T and A is going. Uh, you know, I'm kind of one of the only guys around that can kind of bridge that gap. Uh and it's a uh you know, the honor of being in this position is not lost on me. You know, on the threshold of going into what's going to be the biggest era of this company. Uh it's motivating, it's inspiring and um Honestly, Thursday can't get here soon enough, ma'am.
Frankie, um last week T and A issued a press release in which they said that AJ is coming back for um the big show this Thursday night. I don't know why AJ's coming back. I'm hoping it's, you know, for obviously for all the right reasons. You're friends with AJ. I think it's great that AJ will be standing in a TNA ring one more time. But you are the world heavyweight champion now.
How does Frankie’s love of KISS and classic rock tie into his wrestling persona?
It's kind of your company now. Don't give me the politically correct answer. How do you feel? Or do you have a multitude of feelings about AJ coming? back on Thursday night.
Always great to see AJ. He is my friend. Uh that's not no breaking news. Um Uh but to your point. When I was talking about earlier, I represent where we've been and where we're going. AJ one hundred percent represents where we've been and is a massive part of where TNA's been.
