Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler à la WWE) soutient que son expérience dans les coulisses de la TNA est extraordinaire.
Nemeth, qui défendrait son titre mondial contre Joe Hendry ce soir, à Genesis, affirme qu’il n’a jamais vécu un environnement aussi positif en carrière lors d’une entrevue pour TV Insider.
Il se dit heureux en général de travailler à la TNA.
“One of the first things I told them was I didn’t want to be the champion or in the title picture for six months to a year. If it doesn’t come to me somewhat organically, then I didn’t want it to happen. Storyline-wise three or four months in we got to a match, but still Moose remained champion. Slowly, different pieces fell into place where it felt right for the time for what TNA was doing. I think we’re all doing such great work that I’m happy to be a piece of it as champion at the moment.”
Nemeth voulait explorer davantage la scène indy, après son départ de la WWE, mais Scott D’Amore l’a convaincu de miser sur la TNA.
“At first, I wasn’t sure what to do. I’d just gotten out of a 20-year relationship and wanted to take a break and not immediately jump into another one. I wanted to check out the independents, go to some different countries and do things I haven’t done without the umbrella of WWE. I wanted to have a bunch of matches I never thought I would. Scott D’Amore kept saying to give them a chance, check out the locker room, and that they had something special going on over here. He wanted me to be a part of it. I got a text from Frankie Kazarian, Brian Myers, Bobby Roode, so many different people were like, “You’ve got to give it a try.” I said, “Let’s find a way where I could dip my toe here and be affiliated with you guys but still do my own thing. After the first payday, I got the locker room, the vibe and how everyone was on the same team. I thought, ‘Let’s go. Let me lock in and be a part of this.’”
Dans une autre entrevue, soit pour Sports Illustrated, Nemeth a vanté l’équipe en place en coulisses.
“I’m a link in this team that is kicking ass behind the scenes. Ariel (Schnerer), Tommy (Dreamer), Gail (Kim), kicking ass. Motivating all the talent, having a relationship with the talent where it’s like, ‘how about this? How about this,’ and then meeting in the middle. Like, whoa, that can happen. Like, this is the coolest thing ever.”
