Heavy Metal Rebel

The following interview was recorded shortly before Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor XI, and features Wrestlezone’s Bill Pritchard speaking with Kazarian about being able to serve the fans with Daniels in today’s day and age, establishing himself as a singles star, balancing Ring of Honor commitments with his band Vex Temper and more. You can read a few excerpts below:

Kazarian comments on pulling off a successful swerve of today’s wrestling fans: 

Because we’re geniuses. (laughs) In 2017, to actually legitimately swerve a very intelligent wrestling audience is something we are very proud of. A lot of time, effort and thought went into it, a lot of commitments, and the finished product was, at the end of a tremendous match, a very shocking turn and it worked great. I’m glad we can still get them in 2017.

Kazarian comments on establishing his own singles run with Daniels currently reigning as ROH World Champion:

I’m here to… as much as Chris and I have done as a tag team, I’m here to establish myself as a singles wrestler. Christopher Daniels’ hands are full obviously as the World Champion, and I am here to also achieve my goals, and it starts with Punishment Martinez. I also have a #1 Contender’s match with the Television Champion in Baltimore on April 8th, and I intend on collecting that belt.
