Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

My memory is that he was a legitimate carny and pre WWE he used to do stuff like have people throw darts into his chest or eat fire. So WWE just applied the same gimmick only way more cartoonish.

At the time I thought Kizarny and Frankie Kazarian were the same person.

The main thing to remember about Kizarny is that WWE teased his arrival endlessly. It would have already been difficult to do his prolonged introduction justice even if his gimmick wasn't dumb as gently caress. And iIrc his first match was against someone who shouldn't lose, so he was ran into a roadblock right away. I think Gavok wrote about him in another thread so it stuck in my mind.

I don't think Jade will suffer exactly the same fate. I couldn't even say what her gimmick is so it might not be dumb as gently caress. But her debut is already drawn out to a puzzling degree and there are no right choices left for what she should do in her first match.

Kizarny's debut TV match, which was also the only singles match he had on TV with the only other one being a battle royale, was against MVP when MVP was in the middle of a losing streak gimmick

Nothing's better than postin' in the morning!



Kizarny's vignettes started airing shortly after I started watching and this was back when I was mad hype for pretty much any debut so I was really looking forward to him. But yeah the vignettes lasted forever, played every week, and when he finally debuted his entrance music was just the background noise from the vignettes and his finisher sucked. But my bigger memories was this one girl on the first wrestling forum I posted on, TheWrestlingFan, who really, really liked him as Sinn Bodhi in FCW and would constantly gas him up and was devastated when he was released.

His CHIKARA run was okay, though he did get heat for making a poorly-timed comment about bipolar disorder. It's also funny that he's the secret Other Childhood Friend that Edge & Christian had and that his nickname was Fatty.

I think her gimmick is "I don't have to wrestle because my checks (that I don't actually need because I'm already independently wealthy) are big and get cashed every payday", which means it's already the best gimmick ever for some of the goons around here :v:

There's not enough Kizarny content for me to do an effortpost, unfortunately.

This talk about drawn out debuts reminds me that every Wrestlecrap induction now ends with a graphic that Veer is Coming, which is a pretty great gag.

Maybe it wasn't you but it was definitely not its own effortpost, it probably was an aside in a post about MVP and Kennedy. I'll check when I have the time.

Don't know about Kizarny but Kazarian is actually married to Traci. Believe his Best Men were Joe, AJ and Daniels.

I think Kizarny is married to The Kat. I could have sworn I saw an ad for a shoot with both of them a million years ago and it stuck with me cause how much content could possibly be on there

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

This article about him driving for Uber is full of incredible quotes

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/13038503/aj-francis-miami-dolphins-defensive-tackle-moonlights-uber-driver

quote:

"Everywhere Uber is, it thrives," he said. "The resistance comes from taxi drivers who don't want to get beat out, because they know they can't compete. Which is funny to me, because in no other aspect of American culture are you allowed to stifle capitalism."

quote:

No Uber rider has recognized the 6-foot-5, 330-pound Francis as a professional football player

quote:

"Just like I'm a world-class athlete, I'm a world-class driver," he said with a grin.

quote:

"I have a car, so I probably wouldn't," Wake said. "But I can't knock anybody's hustle. He's an interesting guy."

Coach Joe Philbin said he would recommend Francis to anyone in need of a ride.

"Definitely," Philbin said with a smile. "But I would suggest that they bring some earplugs along."
