Frankie Kazarian Would Like to Wrestle Randy Orton

Frankie Kazarian doesn’t like the term “dream match,” because, he says, “I don’t dream about wrestling matches.”

In an interview with Square Family Wrestling, transcribed by Fightful, he nonetheless entertains the idea. Who does Frankie Kazarian still want to face?

“I would love to wrestle Randy Orton. I’m a very big fan of his work.”

Now, how likely is that to actually happen? With WWE NXT having crossovers with TNA, it’s not as impossible as it once might have seemed, though a one-on-one match is unlikely, given Orton’s ranking relative to Kazarian’s. At 48, the latter may not have a lot of time on his career, so perhaps this is a very public pitch. Certainly fans familiar with Kazarian’s work would love to see him square off against WWE’s Apex Predator, but third-generation lifer Orton isn’t likely to leave WWE to make it happen.

Maybe more surprising than Orton as a current opponent as the name of the legend Kazarian would have most liked to face. It’s Tito Santana. Never the flashiest guy on the roster, Santana was more of a workhorse, praised recently by none other than Shawn Michaels for leading him through his first WrestleMania singles match.

Unfortunately for Kazarian, Santana says he doesn’t watch current wrestling any more.
