Nic Nemeth says that he wasn’t sure which direction his storyline with KC Navarro would go after his return from injury.
Navarro returned from an ACL injury earlier this year and would recently challenge for the TNA World Title when he faced off with KC Navarro on last week’s edition of TNA iMPACT!
While speaking to GOW Media in a new interview, Nic Nemeth spoke about his storyline with KC Navarro, noting that at one point in time, the creative for the story was unclear.
“KC (Navarro) is actually one of the guys that, he told me he looked up to me a long time ago, and I somewhat took him under my wing before he left for a while with the injury. But that’s what separates people who long term are in this business and people who have a couple years run. He wants it and gets it, and has this injury that so many people could be down like hard and you go, ‘Am I ever coming back?’ We’re always saying that, but he actually busted his ass, he was just getting going, and it’s so easy mentally to be taken out of the game, and not only did he not do that, he came back better, stronger, smarter, quicker. We didn’t know if I was going to be mentoring him on TV, I didn’t know the situation creatively, or if I’m just going to turn on him and take his head off. We get to lead to a match, and I said, if I get a couple of minutes with this kid with the title on the line and the story is there, the multiple weeks we had months first with almost taking him under my wing, but then slowly turning that into like, ‘hey, man, I’m not your hero, but I’m trying to teach you some stuff’ into, ‘alright, I got to knock the shit out of you and we’re going to have a title match.’”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Nemeth spoke about his upcoming title defense against Jeff Hardy. You can read more about that here.
