Darius Carter is looking for gold.
NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tyrus has stated that he is willing to defend the belt against anyone and at any time. Tyrus has even called out the likes of Dustin Rhodes and Jon Moxley.
Darius Carter has not appeared on NWA television during the Billy Corgan era, but he's built a strong reputation on the independent scene, holds titles in multiple companies, and hasn't been afraid to call out Tyrus for his open challenge.
Speaking to Joel Pearl & SP3 on In The Weeds, Carter explained why he's looking for a shot at the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.
"Bringing the championship onto the news networks, that's fantastic. There is no doubt that the man is getting press on that championship, but is all that press legit in the way it should be? Is all that press positive? Absolutely not. Is all that press directly related to professional wrestling? No, it's not. The NWA Championship goes back so long, to a time that I wish I could be in. I wish I could have experienced the territories. I wish I could have traveled and known what it was like to have an area, be at the top of that area, and then be sent to another and another. That's really development at its finest. The thing about that NWA Championship situation is, they are presenting open challenges, but it doesn't feel authentic. It doesn't feel, to me, that you're really giving all the opportunities that you can to the most deserving talent and challengers out there. It's not to discredit NWA, maybe you have people in your area and you're only looking 400 or 500 miles, maybe you're not looking that far out. When they mention Darius Carter and NWA's twitter feed is buzzing, you see the notification bell going off, you shouldn't ignore that. You keep hearing people suggesting me. I'm not sitting here and saying Darius Carter and tweeting NWA every day. Whenever NWA asks who should be brought in? Who should get a heavyweight championship opportunity? My feed is blowing up. Give me the mic, give me the ring, you can give me three minutes. You don't need to give me the world because I can make the world out of a city. I'm here to be challenged. I'm not asking for it to be easy, I don't want it to be easy," said Carter.
Tyrus has held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title since NWA Hard Times In New Orleans 2022 in November and made four successful title defenses.
Carter will be in action June 17 at Battle Club Pro and June 18 at BCW. Fans can keep up with Carter on social media by clicking here.
