During a recent interview with Darren Paltrowitz, AEW wrestler Frankie Kazarian commented on how much longer he wants to wrestle, how he’s been training smarter as he gets older, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how much longer he wants to wrestle: “I mean, I’ve always had the mindset that I’m going to do this until I physically can’t, and/or I know that I’m gonna go out there, and I’m just a parody of myself. You know, early on in my career, there were certainly times, pitfalls, and perils.”
On how he trains smarter as he got older: “There were times when I was like, ‘Why am I putting so much work into this?’ and you’re not seeing the results that you want, but you’ve just gotta work hard and push through that. Especially as I get older, I train smart, I eat smart, I’m very cognizant of health and fitness and, and it’s almost now a, you know, a battle against myself to see how good I am; if I can still hang, if I can still have high-level matches, which I can, and I’ve proved that. I now have a greater appreciation for that, though. When I was younger, it was just, ‘Oh, just another match.’I now have a greater appreciation, every time I’m in the ring, that this is something I’ve been blessed to do for, again, almost 25 years, and still do it at a top level and to still do it with guys that are coming up and going to be the next generation. It’s a cool spot to be in.”
