Moose comments on winning TNA World Title.
Moose won the TNA World Title at TNA Hard To Kill, defeating Alex Shelley in the main event. This was Moose's second reign as TNA World Champion as he previously won the then IMPACT World Title from Josh Alexander in 2021.
Speaking to Denise Salcedo on Instinct Culture, Moose commented on winning the TNA World Title and what it means to him.
"It feels great. It’s rare in people’s careers when the second title reign is more memorable than the first one. Usually, when you ask people the most memorable title they’ve won, it’s usually the first title they’ve ever won. In this case, for me, it’s the second title run. Nothing against Josh [Alexander], he’s a great athlete and great professional, probably one of the greatest out there, but if you look at the way I won it against Josh versus how I won it this past weekend, we’re going into a rebrand with probably the biggest moment in TNA history, switching from IMPACT Wrestling back to TNA. Second, it was the biggest crowd we’ve performed in front of in the last eight to ten years, over 2,000 people, and I was in the main event of our first-ever pay-per-view of the rebrand, and then winning it. It’s rare the second time is bigger than the first one, and for me, the second round was definitely more memorable and bigger than the first time I won the title.
"It’s a special feeling. Especially, out of all the great talent we have in our locker room, they chose me to be the guy to start the new era of TNA. That means a lot to me, personally. I’m happy I stayed in TNA."
Moose's celebration was cut short as Nic Nemeth (formerly Dolph Ziggler) confronted him and laid him out with a Zig Zag.
