Nic Nemeth is the new TNA World Champion, and he reflected on his win over Mike Santana at Slammiversary this past weekend.

He spoke about his win during the latest episode of Busted Open Radio, praising Santana while also discussing his confidence in leading TNA as its champion.

You can see highlights below from his comments (per Fightful):

On the Match:
“It was a blast and we knew that’s what it was going in there and we mentioned this on Busted Open or even Off The Ropes before, I know he’s an ass-kicking badass guy and he’s had the company on his back for a while, and I knew we weren’t going out to do headlock takeovers and for me to show off technique. It was to go fight and beat the hell out of each other and then the last guy standing in that ring.”

On Being World Champion:

“Now I get the task of having the big target on my back as I take over carrying the reins so it was my turn to do that now. I’ve been very viable and ready to go in that position for a long time. I’ve been fortunate that, injury-wise, I’ve been good to go for 23 consecutive years and there’s a reason. With the equity and the star power in my name and my work out there. But I feel like I’m the right guy to take TNA right now and keep going in the same direction we’ve been going for a while.”
