Frankie Kazarian Responds to Fan Backlash, Set for “The King’s Speech” at Turning Point – As noted, Frankie Kazarian cashed in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy to secure a TNA World Championship match against Mike Santana, striking immediately after Santana had already been attacked by invading NXT talent. Kazarian capitalized on the chaos and the champion’s injuries, ultimately rolling Santana up to win the title and complete the rare achievement of becoming a TNA Grand Slam Champion.
Following the win, Kazarian soaked in the crowd’s stunned reaction before addressing fans in a digital exclusive released by TNA. He delivered a message aimed directly at those who criticized the way he won the championship, making it clear he embraces every bit of backlash.
“All of you sitting at home on your dumpy asses, sending me nothing but hatred. Posting on social media about how angry you are, about how sad you are. I ask, please, please give me more. I bathe in your tears. Be angry with me, be very angry with me. But you know what? Get used to it, because the king has his crown. Frankie Kazarian is the TNA World Champion, and I’m going to be for a long time.”
With TNA Turning Point set to take place this evening from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, TNA has announced a new segment for the Countdown to TNA Turning Point pre-show. The company confirmed that the new champion will address the audience in a special appearance titled “The King’s Speech.”
“After calling his shot and becoming the NEW TNA World Champion last night on TNA iMPACT, Frankie Kazarian will deliver THE KING’S SPEECH on the Countdown to TNA Turning Point,” the announcement stated. The segment is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST and will stream live on TNA+ and YouTube.
Kazarian will also be in action later tonight at Turning Point. The champion is set to team with Nic Nemeth in a tag team match against TNA International Champion Steve Maclin and former TNA World Champion Mike Santana. The bout serves as Santana’s first chance to confront Kazarian since losing the title under controversial circumstances on iMPACT.
