– During a recent interview with PWMania, NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch discussed facing Tyrus at NWA 74 and more. Below are some highlights:

His thoughts on facing Tyrus: “I told everyone when I won the world title, I didn’t care who I took on. It doesn’t matter. I’m moving like a freight train. It didn’t matter to me whose name was on the marquee next to mine, because at the end of it I know I’m going to be the winner. I’m focusing on myself and being the world champion.”

Trevor Murdoch on what the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title means to him: “It means something to me. Being the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion means something in the business, and in the world while a lot of others don’t. The legacies and the future of the NWA are pressures I’m carrying on my shoulders right now.”

On wanting a match with Eddie Kingston: “He’s the type of guy where if he did win, he’d hold the respect of the NWA to the highest ability. Also, guys in the NWA too, such as Pope, and Thom Latimer. I wouldn’t mind going toe-to-toe with them. They have the potential to be champions.”

Trevor Murdoch vs. Tyrus for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship will take place at NWA 74: Night 2 on August 28. The event will be held at the Chase’s Khorassan Ballroom in St. Louis, Missouri. It will stream live on FITE TV.
