TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth appeared on Busted Open Radio to talk about a number of topics, including how he thinks Ridge Holland picking up a huge win in the main event of last Wednesday night’s WWE NXT plants the seeds for a long-term booking.
Nemeth said, “I don’t think it ends here. I think it plants seeds for long-term booking. But also, when it comes down to it…you can’t just always get what you want. Sometimes it’s got to be taken away from you. So you talk some trash, sometimes you get your mouth cracked and sometimes you go through a table. But eventually, on the outside looking in, everybody got something in that segment I thought, which was very cool.”
On the passing the torch moment after the match:
“We got to see the legend, we got to see Bubba get a little bit of revenge, clean house, kick ass, everything. And then you still get that special moment where it’s like the theoretical passing of a torch, but going ‘Hey, this is the guy. This is the next up and coming guy. Let’s go with him.’ And you get that in the ECW Arena, with Bubba in the old school gear, and it’s like…you still get the feeling of that nostalgia mixed in with anointing of an up and coming guy. Very cool I thought.”
