Nic Nemeth speaks on TNA names not being a part of the Dusty Tag Team Classic in WWE NXT, noting that there is a time and place for it.
On September 20th, the full field for the upcoming Dusty Tag Team Classic in WWE NXT was announced, with teams from all three brands of WWE and AAA named. Fans would speculate on the lack of TNA names in the tournament, with one half of the current TNA Tag Team Champions now commenting on it.
While speaking to Unlikely with Adrian Hernandez in a new interview, Nic Nemeth was asked if he is upset by a lack of TNA names announced for the Dusty Classic in WWE NXT.
“It doesn’t because myself, and my brother are comically busy at the moment. But it does, as a TNA wrestler, not being the tag champs, yeah, it does. Because there’s a relationship there. We’ve had some moments where we got a lot of NXT people who were brand new, gave them a shot, gave them some TV time, got those reps in. It would be nice to see it replicated. But, of course, it’s not always the time and place for it. There were times for months where we were going back and forth all over NXT, our guys and gals were, and all over TNA. NXT guys and gals were (showing up). Some people were going to Raw and SmackDown, and it led to Leon Slater getting some cool moments and Joe Hendry getting some cool stuff when he was still with us. So all of those moments can still happen, and they will when the time is right. It would be great to be represented out there. But also, I’m super busy right now, and I’m not interested in doing NXT as the world champion and tag team champion. But… down the line, I would love to see more of an interaction if we continue that relationship because it was really fruitful for both sides. I was very impressed with some young up-and-comers getting some reps with us and getting to see our guys. You know, you got to see Cruz Montana showing up on NXT before he showed up at NXT. So he’s doing in theory, his own vignette to let that audience know when you see me next time, I’m going to be kicking everyone’s ass, and that’s why you get that emotion and that reaction because he got to be over there a few times before that. So it’s, it’s been really positive for us. Hopefully it’s been as positive for them, and I would like to see more in the future.”
