During a recent appearance on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth discussed the RAW segment featuring Seth Rollins and CM Punk earlier this week.
Punk will battle Rollins during the premiere episode of WWE RAW on Netflix next Monday.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Seth Rollins and CM Punk’s RAW segment: “Think of how important you are to a show when they make the two of you the go-home piece. There’s no physicality, there’s no blood and guts, there’s no pyro. It’s on you and your words to talk everybody into the building of Netflix.”
On Seth Rollins “With the old boss, it seemed like we were about to go with Seth, and then that Monday, or that Sunday for the pay-per-view, it would just not be the same. It was, ‘Is this the guy?’ And the crowd wasn’t sure because it seemed like Vince wasn’t sure.”
On who should win Rollins vs. Punk next week: “Don’t give us some weird finish or a non-finish. A definitive Seth win is the way I would go.”
Speaking of Nic Nemeth, he has incorporated the superkick as a key move in his arsenal, and he recently discussed his efforts to enhance its importance.
During a recent appearance on the “Rewind, Recap, Relive” podcast, Nemeth shared his approach to the superkick, noting that he has made efforts to increase the impact of his signature move.
Nemeth said, “I made a conscious effort to make mine mean more, until pretty recently, when I got into the ring with some guys who were two and three times my size, and then it played a little bit differently. But for, I don’t know, four or five of the last six years or so, I wanted mine to matter. So many times, so many great superkicks are on shows. They happen, sometimes, multiple times in a match. Sometimes someone’s on their knees. Sometimes it’s a piece of a move, of a combo, to go to something else.”
He continued, “I went out of my way for a solid five years to go, ‘When my kick hits, that’s the difference. 1-2-3,’ not, ‘We’re going somewhere else.’ The match is over.”.
