WWE confirms the departure of Frankie Kazarian in a very low key way
On Thursday, August 18, 2005 at 3:25 AM EST Following reports this past week, WWE has finally acknowledged the departure of Frankie Kazarian from the company, but not in the way you might think. Kazarian parting ways with the company was not mentioned on the main page of WWE.com, but rather the "WWE Fantasy" game section located here.
The statement in the section reads quote: "Frankie Kazarian and WWE have parted ways. We suggest you don't pick him for your roster." In addition, Kazarian's bio has also been removed from the "Superstars" page in the section for the SmackDown brand. Some did find it rather odd that he would be even considered a "SmackDown Superstar" in the first place when he was only used on Velocity for around a month and never once made an appearance on SmackDown. We will have more on Kazarian's brief run with WWE later today.
