Trevor Murdoch is in the spot he’s in because of the people, not because of some backstage push.
Interview with Greg Oliver of Slam Wrestling, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch spoke about his goals with the National Wrestling Alliance, explaining that he’s been there since day one and he hopes to continue being part of the positive momentum that the brand has now.
“I take a lot of pride in this company, especially from where I came from, to what I’m helping build here now,” said Murdoch. “I’ve been here for two and a half years, I was on the very first NWA Powerrr show. I’ve been here since the beginning. And I want to help make sure that after me, that this show is still continuing to move forward and still being a positive wrestling show, growing and getting bigger.”
Murdoch spoke about the positivity carrying through to the locker room and said it’s a very collaborative effort.
“We all support each other, the company supports each other. Wrestling is not hard; it seems as if other companies have made it difficult. Here in the NWA, there is no picked ‘Chosen One.’ The people are what choose the guys, the people are what motivate us,” explained Murdoch. “I know in other companies, there’s a chief and he picks an individual, and that’s what everybody has to accept. It’s hard for the people to go about business that way. And I wasn’t picked, there wasn’t a long meeting around going, ‘Who’s the next guy?’ ‘You know what? We’re going to we’re gonna make a Trevor and we’re gonna force him down [throats].’ The people are the ones that willed me into this position. They had no choice but to give me an opportunity.”
Murdoch added that everyone wants the NWA to be great, and it’s not an individual effort.
“The group mentality here for the NWA is that we all want this to be great. We all want to do well. So the only way that’s going to happen is if we all pick each other up and carry each other to that finish line. It’s not a one-man band. We are a group of men and women that care about each other, that care about each other’s well-being, and we want to take the NWA and make it something special.”
The NWA recently announced weekly programming would be returning to YouTube starting this Friday with NWA Powerrr and NWA USA on Saturdays at no cost to the fans. Read more about the new NWA All Access promotion at this link.
