Regarding who from Impact’s current roster could’ve been a good student for Kowalski, Kazarian named Kevin Knight.

“I’m looking at guys who I’m fans of and I’m looking at a guy like Kevin Knight,” Kazarian said. “On top of being an amazing athlete, and a very, very good wrestler, he’s a very grounded, nice kid who gets it and wants to learn, wants to get better. I could see Walter looking at his raw talent and athletic ability and really being able to sink his teeth into someone like that. That was Walter’s specialty, seeing someone that was naturally gifted and pushing them and really focusing on their strengths and getting rid of those weaknesses. I think that would be a guy that he would’ve loved to mentor and train.”

Kazarian and Eddie Edwards are currently involved in a personal rivalry centered around being students of Kowalski. They’re slated for a fourth singles match to take place at Kowalski’s school, which is located in Massachusetts.

Meanwhile, Knight is a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion alongside KUSHIDA. He recently had a highly-praised match on “Impact on AXS TV” against Moose.
