Nic Nemeth is not happy about Trick Williams becoming TNA World Champion.
At WWE NXT Battleground, Trick Williams stunned fans by defeating Joe Hendry to win the TNA World Championship. The outcome was met with visible shock, even from TNA President Carlos Silva, who was at the ringside.
Nic Nemeth, a longtime rival of Joe Hendry, has now weighed in on the situation. In an interview with WhatCulture, Nemeth didn’t hold back his emotions. Nemeth expressed deep frustration over Hendry losing the title to Trick Williams.
“I’m absolutely furious and pissed off about it, and that’s not a joke or a game or like, isn’t this a funny clip to play. I feel like Joe Hendry has accomplished so much, and he’s brought so many eyes to TNA, and he’s kicked so much as we need. This isn’t a world of participation medals and awards that say, ‘Hey, great job. You lost our world title to a different guy from a different company.’ So I don’t go, ‘Hey, great job, buddy. Thanks for trying really hard and losing our title to a different company. I say, I congratulate him when he brings people in, when he defends that title.”
Nic Nemeth furious over WWE NXT star Trick Williams holding TNA World title
While Nic Nemeth praised Joe Hendry for bringing more eyes to TNA Wrestling, he believes Hendry should take responsibility for the loss. Nemeth has even suggested bringing back wrestler’s court backstage.
“He beat me and I said, ‘Damn it, you beat me. You got me.’ When you lose and you mess up, just like I do to myself, or I get on Ryan’s case, when we make mistakes, we own up to it. He lost our world title. I am not okay with that. I feel like we might need to bring back wrestler’s court or something, or pull him aside with everybody in the locker room, because if you’re gonna, if everyone’s gonna pat him on the back for the good things, we need to let him know that he messed up and lost our world title. Trick Williams is a badass. He’s awesome. He’s got a great future, but he is an NXT talent who now is the TNA World Champion, and I am pissed off about it.” [H/T: Fightful]
Nic Nemeth remains upset over Joe Hendry’s loss of the title. However, TNA’s Mike Santana will get a shot at reclaiming the championship when he faces Trick Williams on NXT next week.
