Nic Nemeth reflects on his appearance on the MTV show "Silent Library."
Nic Nemeth, then known as Dolph Ziggler, appeared on MTV Silent Library alongside Chris Masters, Brian Myers (Curt Hawkins), Trent Beretta, JTG, and Caylen Croft in a 2009 episode of Silent Library on MTV. Nemeth is now reflecting on that experience during a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri and spoiler alert: It wasn't an enjoyable one.
Nemeth says that the WWE Superstars were under the impression that they would be putting together pranks for fans and ended up being the ones who were pranked themselves.
"It was terrible, because a lot of times in those days, if you are not the Randy Orton or Stone Cold guy on the show, you would go to do things, and for the most part, it's fun and you get to do these extra pieces," he said. "But to my knowledge, people who actually watched the show before I went and did it said that normally, 'Oh, that's so cool that you're doing Silent Library, because they usually have celebrities on or people that from sports, and we watch them, and they come up with the pranks, or they're involved in pranking some fans or students or people who are playing the game.'
"We were told that as we went there, and then we went there and we became the people being tortured. We didn't know that ahead of time, so it's there's some gruesome stuff. I took a tennis ball on an elastic, stretched-out industrial rubber band to the crotch from everybody in the game, and I was black and blue for about two and a half weeks afterward. I went down hard. Other people were, like, chugging fish water, it was absolutely disgusting. We weren't trying to make -- we're not trying to go on Fear Factor and get famous. We thought we were going to help with some pranks, and we were absolutely tortured. It was absolutely terrible."
The show ran on MTV from 2009 to 2011. Fans can check out the episode with the WWE Superstars embedded in the video above.
