Nic Nemeth knows who his next challenger is.
Nemeth is the current TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He has successfully defended it on numerous occasions. Now, the next challenger for his World Title has been revealed. It is none other than former TNA World Tag Team Champion Eddie Edwards.
On last week’s episode of TNA iMPACT, the TNA World Heavyweight Champion teamed up with The Prestigious One Joe Hendry to take on the team of Eddie Edwards and JDC (formerly known as Fandango in WWE). During the match, Edwards pinned Nic Nemeth to pick up the win for his team. Following the win, TNA announced late last night that Edwards will be challenging Nemeth for the World Title at the Turning Point pay-per-view.
“BREAKING: After pinning @NicTNemeth in the Tag Team match on #TNAiMPACT last week,
@TheEddieEdwards will now face Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at #TNATurningPoint, LIVE from WrestleCade in Winston-Salem, NC, on November 29!” TNA tweeted.
Nic Nemeth on his podcast show
Recently, while speaking to WrestleZone’s Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Nic Nemeth opened up about his ultimate goal in pro wrestling. As a 20-year veteran of the professional wrestling business, Nemeth has plenty of accolades. However, he just hopes he made the pro wrestling world a better place once he hangs it up.
“TNA has been an absolute blast. And I love that I accidentally get to time me being there with them taking off just a little bit more than they already were. It just makes you feel good going, ‘I feel like I’m doing something positive.’ A bunch of people say they wanna… ‘I wanna win this title, I want to win this thing.’ My goal was, when I leave the business, I want the locker room to go, ‘That’s the guy I always wanted to have. Thank you for that.’ I don’t need the fans to do it; I live off the fans out there, but the locker room do it.
“I want to leave the business at some point and saying, ‘It was better for me being in it.’ Not that I took, and took, and took,” Nemeth continued. “But it was better for me because I was there and I am a name that comes up when you talk about what was good about wrestling. There’s a million [names], whatever. But I don’t want to be like, ‘Oh, I wanted to win this title. I wanted to travel…’ No. I want the business to be better because I existed. And in a 100 years when I retire, hopefully that’s what I will say.”
