Nic Nemeth Recalls His Money in the Bank Cash-In in 2013

During a recent edition of Busted Open Radio, TNA World Champion and former WWE Superstar Nic Nemeth recalled his Money in the Bank cash-in on Alberto Del Rio in 2013. Nemeth (formerly Dolph Ziggler) cashed in his briefcase and won the World Heavyweight Title to a huge reaction. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Nic Nemeth on the Lead-Up for the Cash-In

“‘I got three or four ideas. If we get one in there, it’s a win, compared to you telling me to come down here, cash in the briefcase, and 1-2-3, pin. If we find a way where I got locked in [Del Rio’s] submission, they’re going to be like, ‘Not only did he cash in and they hate him so much he didn’t win, he’s going to tap out to an injured guy who wrestled already…’ He let me get two solid, real believable finishes in, and we used Vince’s finish as a big false finish to go, ‘Oh my god, Nic can’t even beat an injured guy with a finisher and a briefcase and now he’s going to lose in front of everybody?'”

On the Crowd’s Reaction to His Win

“I could feel like, ‘This f’ing place. They’re screwing this guy again.’ I felt like they, figuratively, are going to burn this place to the ground if I lose.”

Nic Nemeth held the World Heavyweight Title for 69 days. Del Rio regained the belt from Nemeth at WWE Payback in June 2013.
