Nic Nemeth Recalls WWE’s Approach To Rookies When He Started There

Nic Nemeth recently looked back at how WWE approached its rookies when he started off in the company. Nemeth recalled his experience back when he began 20 years ago in the company on Busted Open Radio, and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

On WWE’s approach to new talent at the time: “I was told when I was brand new to WWE and I get hired, they go, there’s a window of 3.1 years that you will be on television on average. Some people it’s a couple of days. Some people, it’s The Undertaker and it’s 35 years. Most likely, you’re gonna be here for a year or two and you’re gonna be an independent wrestler. And how do you want to use it [the brand you built in WWE]?”

On how that shaped his approach to his career: “You want to stay relevant. You want everyone talking about you all the time… There should be ups and downs. You should disappear for a while. You should make yourself scarce. They [wrestling fans] are so loyal to you if they like you or want to stick with you. They followed me to comedy when I had never done it before and stuck around 15 years later to come to the shows and say, it’s a fun thing. They are so loyal above and beyond that they will follow you if you try these different endeavors.”
