Nic Nemeth Has Been Impressed With the ‘Phenomenal’ Talent Outside of WWE

Nic Nemeth says it’s been an amazing experience facing talent outside of the WWE umbrella. Nemeth exited WWE in September of last year and has worked a number of high profile matches since, with the majority of his work coming in TNA. Nemeth spoke with Fightful and spoke about how he was blown away with the talent that is thriving on the indie scene.

“Yeah, I mean those dudes rock and they are really good and that’s another thing before I get to my brother,” Nemeth said. “Everyone was like, ‘Hey man, you’re kind of spoiled in your bubble. When you get out there, you’re going to realize everybody kind of sucks.’ I’m like, ‘Wow, okay.’ Every single person I’ve touched for the first time, maybe one person in seven, eight months, wasn’t that good. Everybody else has been frigging phenomenal. I’m like, ‘Why aren’t these guys signed somewhere?’”

He continued, “Holy crap, I can’t believe it. Like there’s every person I’ve come to talk to, except for one and no one even knows and will never know. It was like eight months of, ‘Wow, this guy gets it.’ ‘Oh, this young kid’s listening.’ ‘Oh, he’s just laying there selling.’ ‘Oh, he gets it.’ I’ve been blown away because I was prepared for the worst and I have been blown away by the talent that either is unsigned or dominating independent scenes. It’s fantastic.”

Nemeth will defend the TNA World Championship against Josh Alexander at TNA Emergence on Friday.
