The former Dolph Ziggler is looking to show off in a new way.
Following his unexpected release from to company, Ziggler now goes by Nic Nemeth. Ever since his 90-Day no compete clause came to an end, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion has been seen in multiple promotions. One of the wrestling promotions he had been part of was New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Recently, Nemeth spoke to NJPW media about his IWGP Global Heavyweight title match at the New Beginnings event. He will be wrestling David Finlay. Nemeth shared what he wants the fans to take home from his title match.
“The biggest thing for me is proving what I’ve been saying for the last 20 years. I’ve been saying ‘hey man, I’m the best, try to follow me, you can’t.’ But I did that in one world. Now I have the chance to do the same thing, but have the world see me do it somewhere else. This isn’t ‘hey there’s Nic Nemeth, he used to be in WWE, wave for him when he comes out.’
“This is someone who has an even bigger chip on his shoulder than he had, because I know I’m starting at day one, right now. And if I don’t put in a good enough effort, or have enough gas in the tank to take that title, then i show everyone that I’m all talk. I have to show everybody that I talk the talk, and I can back it up and walk the walk. I want fans in Sapporo that not only is David Finlay a hell of a fighter, but Nic Nemeth might be the future of New Japan,” Nic Nemeth said.
The New Beginning event will be taking place on Friday, 23rd of February.
Can Nemeth win his first NJPW championship?
