Nic Nemeth: “I Even Took A Hard Bret Hart Buckle In The Corner That I Had People In The Back Going, ‘Are You Okay?’”
The hard bump had those backstage asking Nemeth if he was okay.
The newest recording of Jonathan Coachman’s Off The Ropes show featured an appearance from Nic Nemeth a.k.a. Dolph Ziggler.
The opening portion of the show included Nemeth speaking about his return to WWE on Monday Night Raw. He faced Solo Sikoa in the opening round of the John Cena ‘Last Time is Now’ tournament.
One of the highlights of the match was the way Nemeth flew into the turnbuckle when Sikoa threw him there. Nemeth discussed that and said people backstage were wondering if he was okay.
“And I even took a hard Bret Hart buckle in the corner that I had people in the back going, ‘Are you okay?’ And I go, ‘That’s the reason I do this.’”
That’s the loudest turnbuckle hit ever
