Speaking with MuscleManMalcolm, Nic Nemeth named AJ Styles and Bobby Roode when asked who some of his favorite TNA World Champions of the past were.

"It should all be Bobby Roode," Nemeth said, jokingly putting over his former WWE Tag Team Championship partner when asked who his five favorite TNA Wrestling World Champions were. "No, AJ, Bobby Roode, there's so many. I'm someone who famously didn't watch wrestling because I didn't like what I was doing creatively. It was kind of a joke, but I always paid attention. Old-school ECW, WWE ECW, TNA, Ring of Honor, all that stuff. I always checked out to see where the business was going and headed. AJ Styles, off the top of my head, and Bobby Roode are two complete package guys who could talk the talk. I feel like I'm a child that's in this business. I'm 45 years old, I feel like a kid. But Bobby Roode and AJ Styles are genuinely grown men. Who when you see that look in their eyes, you believe them. You believe that they can tap you out, and you know they can go above and beyond to steal the show in the match and be ass-kicking champions. I love those two guys."

Two other TNA Originals, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, recently debuted in WWE and have already won the WWE Tag Team Championships. Learn more here.
