Nic Nemeth feels ‘very fortunate’ for post-WWE opportunities

Nic Nemeth is a wanted man. 

The former Dolph Ziggler wrestled the first match of his post-WWE career on Sunday’s TNA TV taping in Las Vegas. He’s also scheduled to make his WWC debut in Puerto Rico next weekend and his NJPW in-ring debut next month at New Beginning in Sapporo. 

Nemeth spoke with TNA’s Sam Laterna following his appearance at Hard to Kill. During the discussion, Nemeth said he feels fortunate that multiple promotions reached out to him following his WWE release. 

Nemeth said: 

I had a lot of time to think in the last three, four, five, six months, to where, what can I do to extend my legacy but also have an entirely different chapter, a different mindset, a different person? And I said, I really feel like I’m a wanted man because the day I left my last job, I’m so lucky that I had so many people reach out, not to say thank you or whatever, none of that stuff, congrats. A bunch of people reached out instantly and said, ‘We want you here’ and I go, man, it is great to feel that. I’m very fortunate and lucky.

He continued:

This is so exciting for me that I want to bounce around. You’re going to see me on the independents, you’re going to see me back showing up, hitting Puerto Rico this weekend and bouncing around.

I hope I can make that work to where it’s like I show up somewhere, everybody’s better because I was there and now you want to come back next time because you know I’m coming back again. I want to do that as many possible places as I can and there’s a million people out there that I want to get in the ring with. 

Nemeth wrestled Zachary Wentz of the Rascalz at the TV taping. TNA has yet to announce when the match will air. Spoilers from the show are available here.
