Guest Ransik Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Gerweck is reporting that Kaz will be leaving TNA at the end of the month. Dunno the reasoning behind this after they've pushed him to the moon... seems kind of weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm thinking it's a work after the stuff he was saying about "letting TNA down". The TNA website also reports that he'll be "addressing the situation" on "Karen's Angle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Gadzinski Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 It's back up on tnawrestling.com and if you look at the Roster page Kaz has been taken off. If it's true, it sucks. If it's not, it's great.. Kaz is a great worker and it seems TNA pisses him off or he doesn't get his way, then he leaves TNA goes on a 6 week WWE run then leaves them cuz they want him to cut his hair. I think he'd have a better job in TNA, or as an Antonio Bandaras Stunt man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FINisher Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 So worked. :P "While this is merely speculation, it looks like this could possibly be a "worked-shoot" angle to generate interest/attention in Kaz, so we shouldn't jump the gun on him really leaving the organization quite yet. For one, TNA hardly ever posts notes regarding departures from the company. The only departure they have announced this year is that of "Wildcat" Chris Harris. Secondly, him apparently doing an angle after making a decision to leave the company is quite peculiar. And probably the key reason showing that this deal may be a work is that the "Karen's Angle" interview segment should have been taped at last week's Impact tapings when they had all the talent and production people together. The TNA site is saying he requested his release today, and will be on her show later this week. If that's the case, they'd have to fly both Karen & Kaz in to some remote location, as well as their production people, put together her fancy set for the show, and film it, this week. TNA really only films stuff for television if they're showing say, Eric Young touring a city, and other candid looking stuff, where they only need a cameraman or two, and not a big production staff. One key thing to look for in the segment is if Karen wears the same one strap black dress she wore on Impact last week in a vignette plugging the upcoming show. If so, it would appear that Kaz's segment was taped beforehand, and that this is all a work. Anyway, stay tuned to this story because there appears to be more than meets the eye."

tristram Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I hope it's a work, he's a very good worker in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Sounds like a cool story. During the X-Cup I thought that should have been the angle; Kaz has to fill the legendary Jerry Lynn's shoes, but suffers a crisis of confidence, especially when he loses his round 2 match against... who did he face? Ultimo Guerrero? However he overcomes this crisis to win Ultimate X. Instead, they've decided to run that part of the story now... and honestly it's better. The X-Cup sells on it's own, and by giving Mexico the win the improve relations with the folks down there. Hopefully they give this story the time it deserves, as it's a very humanising angle, given to a character I've always found a bit bland. Including the website in the story is a GREAT move. The internet has long since been this 'behind the curtain' entity, but it's such a powerful force that you have to try and bring some of it under that kayfabe umbrella. I'm imagine a lot of eye-rolling when I read people's "[I]It's a work[/I]" comments, which saddens me a bit. Don't you remember when you believed in wrestling? Wasn't it so much more magical then?

tristram Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Oh hell yeah, believing in wrestling was the shiz. I have no idea how Hulk slammed Andre... I was on the edge of my seat as Hulk and the Ultimate Warrior stood toe to toe, and I got teary eyed when Savage elbow dropped Warrior like 6 times, still lost, and then had to retire, and then his old lady Liz comes running in from the crowd to get rid of Sister Sherri, and Savage and Liz are reunited... good times, good times.

Don't you remember when you believed in wrestling?

There have been far too many angles and/or storylines I've followed and been utterly disappointed in their eventual ends. If I had known what possible directions the storyline could've gone in, I could then make an informed decision as to whether the storyline was worth following. I don't like my time wasted by subpar (by my standards/opinion) entertainment vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpion Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 What's funny is that "everyone knows its fake" yet people still get fooled all the time. For example, the ring collapsing during the Brock-Big Show Match, and Matt Hardy crashing Raw after he got fired. So many people (I wondered about the ring- a little) were thinking both were shoots. Also, go over to youtube and watch the Damien Demento Shoot Interview, its obviously a work, but people were posting comments like, "leave the guy alone." Of course my favorite story, and I can't remember who it was, but they were working an Indy show and they purposely slipped while they were climbing the ropes, just to get a "you f'd up chant." If I recall they were trying to be the heel but were getting cheered, so he did it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I just wrote a long post explaining my view on a whole host of things, but I've done too many long posts lately. Honestly, I can't fault your way of looking at things, Remi, I'm just different. I like believing 100% in the story and characters put in front of me. I like not knowing what's going to happen. I miss the days when I believed in Santa. The world is a less magical place now. P.S. The Matt Hardy thing was a work? Well I'll be jiggered.

Guest Ransik Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 *shrugs* I didn't know it was a work because all I found on websites was that Kaz asked for his release from TNA and was granted it, never mentioned anything about it being a work. I just figured something went wrong in his life and he needed to leave for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
