– Kazarian is featured in Impact Wrestling's latest "Why Wrestling Matters" video. The former TNA X Division Champion discusses what drives his passion and dedication for professional wrestling.

"There are a number of people out there, old and young, male and female, that want an alternative, that want a pro wrestling company," Kazarian says. "They want to be entertained by what happens inside of a wrestling ring. They don't want to be talked to, they don't want to be lied to, they want to watch people fight. That's why Impact Wrestling is important today, more so than it ever has been."
