For well over a decade, Frankie Kazarian has been one of the top stars on the independent scene. Though he first made a name for himself in TNA, Kazarian's journey has taken him to Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and even to WWE, for a very brief run in 2005.

Kazarian's achieved success almost everywhere he's been, and that's translated to a number of singles and tag team title reigns. He's a two-time PWG Champion and a five-time TNA X Division Champion, but he's also formed a hugely successful tag team with Christopher Daniels known first as Bad Influence, then as The Addiction. The pair held gold in TNA twice, then left the company and captured the ROH titles twice.

Kazarian will turn 40 on August 4, 2017, which still makes him the younger member of the team by far. Nevertheless, both he and Daniels are completely comfortable mixing it up with younger tandems like The Young Bucks and War Machine, and they never look out of place.
