During a recent appearance on Sports Illustrated’s “The Takedown” podcast, Nic Nemeth commented on winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2013 and then losing the title the very next week to Jack Swagger. He said,
“Like when I became world champ, the first match I had, I remember Vince told me once, ‘you finally cash in this contract, you won’t lose every single night. Everyone forgets about it. It’s all out the window. You’re the world champ.’ I cash in. I was the world champ. The next Monday, I lost a five-minute match. Jack Swagger and I went, ‘what the f***’ are we doing here? Like what?’”
During a recent appearance on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast, Anthony Henry commented on his goals for his team with JD Drake (The Workhorsemen). He said,
“I am a professional wrestler. No matter how much I want to contribute to the company in whatever role that I am chosen to be in, of course I’m gonna do that, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want more for The Workhorsemen because I know what we’re capable of. I know what we could be. I know that if we were given the opportunities, if they were allowed, if it opened up, that we could get over on TV, we could become bigger stars than we are, and we can absolutely hang with any tag team in the world. I have no problem saying that, I’ve always been confident in that. I’ve never been in the ring, nor has Drake been in the ring with anybody that we were out of place with, nobody that we couldn’t keep up with. When we have people like Mox and Danielson and all of these people behind us in the back, FTR and all of these people are behind us, to me, those are the people that I want to listen to, right? Those are the people that are definitely installing that confidence in us even further. So, coming back, and when Drake comes back, I’d love to just go on a run of having these matches with the best tag teams, and they are at AEW for sure. Have these matches and show everybody what we really really can do because honestly, as much as we have done, I feel like you’ve seen maybe 60% of it. That’s just me being dead honest.”
