Nic Nemeth Explains Why He Took Responsibility For Confusion Over Jeff Hardy Match: ‘It Made Sense To Me Because I Feel Like I’m The Main Representative For TNA At This Point On A Regular Basis’

Nic Nemeth opens up about taking responsibility for the Jeff Hardy match confusion.

A few months back, TNA advertised a match between Nic Nemeth and Jeff Hardy. The advertising of the bout confused many fans who believed the match would take place on the July 31 edition of TNA Impact. Nemeth made a social media post where he took responsibility for the confusion.

Speaking with TVInsider, Nemeth said it made sense to him to take responsibility for this.

“I felt like it made sense to me because I feel like I’m the main representative for TNA at this point on a regular basis, and I really appreciate that. But if I was in WWE, I would have done the same thing. Once you get to a point where you’re actually taking responsibility for things inside the ring and out, I feel like I’m a good ambassador for that. I was like, ‘Hey, man, I’m the world champ right now, and I got to tell you, it was a little confusing if we were going live tonight or not, to me included.’ I said, ‘Listen. It happens. It’s on me. I should have been even clearer when I was promoting it, and you know what? We’ll fix it. It ended up doing okay. We did some pretty good numbers with it and then myself and Matt Hardy did pretty damn good numbers a couple weeks ago too. So that being said, yes, it’s really easy to be like, ‘Hey, I’m the champ, and we’ve sold out for WrestleMania, and I show up once every three months.’ It’s really easy to say something like that. But when it comes down to [if they ask], ‘Why are there only 800 tickets sold for this pay per view? You’re the world champ and you’re the guy.’ You go, ‘Well, I got to get out there, and I got to get the word out, and I got to get more people watching iMPACT!. I got to get more people following us on social media. I got more people to sign up for the YouTube. I have to get more people every time I have a media opportunity to take that.’ I take it in stride and look forward to it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Nemeth compared his current title reign to his WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign. Fans can read his full comments here.
