Nic Nemeth revealed the moment he knew when he’d “made it”.
The former WWE star has had a long, successful career since debuting in 2003. He spent two decades with the WWE, winning the World Heavyweight Championship twice during a fantastic run.
Now with TNA, he is the world champion and putting on some of the best work of his career. However, Nic Nemeth views his true success as something much more humble.
On Twitter, Nic Nemeth was asked what the moment was where he new he’d “made it” in the wrestling business. The TNA World Champion didn’t mention a world title win, or a WrestleMania match as that moment.
Instead, he claimed the moment that he bought gas and didn’t need to check his bank account to see if he could afford it was when he knew he had done something in the business.
“When I didn’t have to check my account, before getting gas. 100%” Nic Nemeth said on Twitter.
Nic Nemeth Wants To Leave Wrestling Better Than He Found It
Now that he’s made it, Nic Nemeth wants to make the wrestling business better.
During a recent interview with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Nemeth revealed his goal is to make the business better than when he joined it.
“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.”
