Nic Nemeth says getting people to give TNA a try is the biggest challenge for him as the company’s current world champion.
The wrestling veteran recently spoke to RG Bro Entertainment to promote TNA Genesis from Garland Texas and TNA Rebellion from Los Angeles in 2025. He discussed things such as his time in the Spirit Squad, his friendship with Lance Storm and more.
The former WWE star made his debut for the Anthem-owned promotion at Hard To Kill in January. He won a six-way match at Slammiversary in July, to become the World Champion. When asked what challenges he has faced in TNA in his first year with the company, Nemeth explained how a lot of people are just not aware of the brand:
“Challenges? I just…getting the word out. Every once in a while, people [will be] like, ‘Hey, we love Impact, we love the pay-per-views, we watch what you’re doing’ and then someone will go, ‘I follow you on social media, I’ve watched everything you’ve ever done, do you still wrestle?’ and I go, ‘Ugh, come on man.’ I go, ‘Bro, AXS TV, YouTube, TNA plus app, check out the show.’”
We’re This Happy Medium: Nic Nemeth
Explaining why people should give TNA a chance, Nic Nemeth said that they’re the happy medium between WWE and AEW. Per the World Champion, people can expect both good storylines and genuine surprises at their shows:
“Sometimes people will say AEW is a little fast with stuff, sometimes WWE goes way too slow in molasses with the same predictable stuff, we are someone that I feel like we’re this happy medium of, you check out, you don’t know what’s going to happen one day, but then you see the slow progression of a story and you know where they’re going and then the other half is, you don’t know who’s gonna show up, you don’t know what’s gonna happen.”
Nemeth also talked about the surprise appearance of WWE Hall of Famer JBL at recent shows. While he didn’t reveal what Layfield said to him during the Emergence PPV, Nic noted that the wrestling legend seems to be in hunt for talents for a new stable.
