Nic Nemeth Says He Wants To Make The TNA World Championship The Premier Title In Pro Wrestling

Nic Nemeth wants to make a statement with TNA.

At TNA Hard to Kill, Nic Nemeth made his official debut with the promotion, and at TNA Slammiversary, Nemeth won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a 6-man elimination match in the main event.

During a digital exclusive, Nemeth spoke about how he wants to make sure the TNA World Championship is the premier championship in professional wrestling.

“Somehow, someday, almost 20 years to the damn day, there’s some extra special destiny here because a lot of people have a lot of things on their mind, a lot of people have a hard road ahead, and some people got it easy, and some people, boom. All the sudden, they’re on top of the world. Twenty long years, and I found my way home to TNA. Somehow, someway, I said listen, I still got it, I can still go, there’s gas in the tank. I’m still the best, I’m still gonna prove it, and you know what? If I don’t, I’ll walk, I’ll retire, I’m done. TNA put a spark in my eyes, you can probably see it. You can probably see it in my eyes. I go, ‘Damn, I love this business, I love this world that I’m in. I love that I’m at the top of my damn game twenty years in.’ I came to TNA with the goal to become champion. I forced my hand because I’d been on TV before, but to prove it and earn it, and tonight, with five other badass superstars in that ring, I somehow came out on top. Somehow, any other night, you flip that coin and someone else wins. Tonight, it was my night. You know why? Because after 20 damn years of plugging along and digging and scratching like everybody else in the business, sometimes, that timing everyone talks about is right. Sometimes, that timing is the best thing to ever happen to you, and sometimes that timing that happens to you is the best damn thing to happen to a company. All of the sudden, TNA on its rise to the top just keeps getting better. Look in these eyes and tell me you don’t think this is the premier championship in this business. If you don’t, you’re wrong. If you don’t believe me, try me. Any day, any time, any place. I will be there. I didn’t give the name ‘The Wanted Man.’ This business wanted me, and all I want is to be the best,” Nemeth said.

Nemeth last eliminated Frankie Kazarian to capture the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his legendary career.
