ROH and TNA Work Out a Deal with Christopher Daniels


The Wrestling Observer is reporting that ROH and TNA have worked out an interesting deal in regards to Christopher Daniels. Daniels, who is still under contract with ROH, was given permission to work for TNA under a mask until his deal with the company expires. Daniels worked the TNA tapings last night as Suicide (a character he has played in the past). The belief is that he will work both TNA TV tapings and house show events.

Suicide Gone?


The official TNA Wrestling website has removed Suicide from its roster page. The video game based character was portrayed by Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels and Kiyoshi during its two year run. The character last appeared on June 14 in a bout taped for Xplosion.

TNA Scraps Suicide

TNA Wrestling has scrapped the "Suicide" character and Frankie Kazarian is back to working as himself. It's unknown what gimmick they are going with Kaz as the graphics on the screen at this week's Impact tapings said "Kaz" while ring announcer David Penzer introduced him as "Kazarian". It's unknown if there are any future plans to use the Suicide character as one source told me the gimmick has been "jobbed out and forgotten".

The Suicide character was created by Midway Games as an original character for the TNA Impact video game. Midway had full license with how to use him as the character was not originally trademarked by TNA or a wrestler. Brandon Silvestry (a/k/a Senshi, Low-Ki & Kaval) did motion capture for the character on the game and voiced it.

TNA Wrestling brought the character to TV in December 2008. Frankie Kazarian originally played the character but it was later portrayed by Christopher Daniels when Kaz was injured. Kaz returned with the gimmick when he returned from injury.

TNA Wrestlers Frustrated with Creative

Frankie Kazarian (a/k/a Suicide) asked for his release at the last round of TNA television because he's been frustrated with his creative direction. TNA management initially agreed to grant him the release, but A.J. Styles and Christopher Daniels worked to soothe over the situation, so the release was never finalized.

A short time later, an upset Vince Russo approached A.J. Styles. Russo was upset because he had heard that Styles told Dixie Carter that he thought it would be a good idea if there were a wrestler on the creative team. Russo blew up and then Styles returned fire about being booked as a weak champion.

Although it appeared that Styles and Russo had cooled off following their backstage blowup, the word is that there were still some hard feelings over the weekend. Styles, Daniels, and Kazarian have expressed frustration to friends, and the bulk of their issues seem to be with Russo.

TNA Praised at Comic Con

From deadlinehollywooddaily.com:

The highlight of the night, though, was a TNA wrestling match between the Motor City Machine Guns – two Detroit high-flyers in Hot Topic-esque shorts – against “Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels and Suicide, the latter a favorite of my 7 year-old brother because he wears a full-body black and red suit with a skull mask. Wowing the crowd with fancy double-team moves, and occasionally spilling out into the audience, the match was a hit all around. The MCMGs picked up the win, with all four men slightly breaking character and raising each other’s hands at the end.

Interview with Samoa Joe

ESPN: You recently switched things up a little with the face paint. Why the change?

Samoa Joe: You know what, it's really just an extension of the character. That's the great thing about pro wrestling as you can take a persona you have and really keep pushing and pushing it as there really are no boundaries, no lines. It's just a continuation of my character. Where people knew me as a really aggressive person, now I'm over-the-top aggressive. We'll see how far I can push it.

ESPN: You were one of the consultants on the "TNA Impact" video game. Was it cool to be able to introduce the Suicide character in the game then watch someone take over that gimmick in real life? I don't think that's ever been done before where a wrestling character debuted in a game before TV.

Samoa Joe: It was pretty trippy. I remember working on the game and they showed me the character they designed. I was looking at the outfit and thought it was pretty cool, that it could be cool for a wrestler to wear. Next thing you know, I'm walking in the studio one day and there was the costume and the wrestler was getting all made up and ready to go. I was like, wow, they actually made a real Suicide...More?

Christopher Daniels Unmasked

Christopher Daniels has spent the better part of the last year in mask – as both Curry Man, and then as a sub for the injured Kaz playing the role of Suicide. Last month, Daniels, as himself, made a big return as part of Jeff Jarrett's Team at the Lockdown Pay Per View. TNA's got a new Pay Per View this Sunday, May 24th called Sacrifice. It will feature TNA World Champion Mick Foley defending his title against three other men – Kurt Angle, Sting and Jeff Jarrett. As of this moment, Daniels doesn't have a match booked for the show, but we're sure something will go down involving Daniels, Suicide and the Motor City Machineguns (Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin)...More?

TNA Teasing the Return of "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels?

The TNA website appears to be teasing the return of the "Fallen Angel" character played by Christopher Daniels. When the site loads, it shows a Fallen Angel symbol, but it gets covered up. The symbol is of the Ankh symbol he uses, with wings attached to it, and engulfed in flames.

Christopher Daniels has been portraying the masked "Suicide" character while Kaz recuperates from an injury.

TNA's Suicide Character Comes to Life

While Midway's TNA Impact had its problems, it also did a lot of things right. One of the most fascinating aspects of the game was its use of story-mode character, Suicide. Created specifically for the game, Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has been teasing Suicide's debut for months on its weekly television show. Suicide made his in-ring debut on December 7 at the "Final Resolution" pay-per-view event and has been haunting the TNA Impact Zone ever since...More?

whoissuicide.com message on Impact

If you watched this week's Impact, during the Taylor Wilde/Christy Hemme match you might have seen something flash across the screen for about half a second that read "whoissuicide.com". If you blinked then you probably missed it.

Not sure if it's a new character or if it has to do with the promotion of the new TNA Impact video game. If you visit whoissuicide.com there is a graphic that takes you to http://www.myspace.com/whoissuicide.

The speculation is that this is promotion for the new TNA Impact video game and "Suicide" is a character in the game. The rumor is that Kaz will be returning to TNA as Suicide.
