Nic Nemeth discusses his move to TNA Wrestling.
In the closing moments of TNA Hard To Kill, Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler in WWE, made his TNA debut. He confronted Moose, who had just defeated Alex Shelley to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
In an interview with Sam Leterna on TNA's Instagram, Nemeth was asked what he wanted to show the world during his time with TNA. He reflected on how plenty of people reached out to him after WWE released him in September, and feeling like a wanted man excited him. He then stated that he viewed TNA Hard To Kill as an occasion that could be a perfect fit.
"I had a lot of time to think in the last three, four, five, six months, to where, what can I do to extend my legacy, but also have an entirely different chapter, a different mindset, a different person? I said, I really feel like I’m a wanted man because the day I left my last job, I had so many, I’m so lucky that I had so many people reach out, not to say thank you or whatever, none of that stuff, congrats. A bunch of people reached out instantly and said, ‘We want you here.’ I go, man, it is great to feel that. I’m very fortunate and lucky that people [said], ‘How can we get you? What can we do?’ I was like, I’m kind of a wanted man, it got me more excited, like I’m back in, okay. I was like, ‘I could show up and be a hired gun here. I could take this guy out, and we could go run. I’m figuring out, where could we go, and I watched TNA go to IMPACT and become TNA in this special moment at Hard To Kill, where this is a coming-out party for TNA again. I go, that could be a perfect fit. Hopefully, I can back it up in the ring, other than just talking about it and showing up," Nemeth said.
