Nic Nemeth is set to defend the TNA World title at Amergence this weekend in a 60-minute iron man match against Josh Alexander. In an interview with Under the Ring (via Fightful), Nemeth explained why he picked the match and promised that it will deliver.
\He said:”Someone like me who has not gone an hour in a really long time. For years, I hone myself on never being tired, always having the stamina. I can go all night long no matter what the situation because of my Saint Edge wrestling training and my Kent State wrestling training. I still have that, I still have the lungs. Listen, if you’re not as good as someone else, you can try hard and maybe win and maybe have a shot. But if you’re never ever tired and you can outlast them, there is a chance you could always come from behind and make a victory. So many matches that happened for me in high school and college and I’ve used that stamina here, I will never ever be tired. Fans pay money to come see us and if I’m giving them 98% of my effort, I’m not worth it. I need to give them everything it’s worth just so they go, ‘Damn, that was great, I want to come back.’ This match is an hour long Iron Man match. It’s basically Alexander’s match, it’s his go-to, it’s his thing. It’s something that five, six, seven years ago I would’ve gone, pfft, this going to be easy. The training won’t change for me. I never stop, I don’t train and take it down a notch and go here and take time off. There’s no offseason. I don’t get hurt, I don’t take time off. I always go seven days a week one way or another and if I miss a day because of travel or some weird issues or I’m sick, the next day I’ll do two workouts because I will always have that and be ready to go. I want the audience to know that not only am I always fighting to be the best, I will not give you less than a 100%. This is going to be a showcase of two guys that do not want to be outdone by the other and that will make it an extra special match. Hour long match. In this day and age, to keep people’s attention, you’ve gotta be good. You can’t be okay, you can’t be pretty good, you can’t be pretty damn good, you’ve gotta be the best. Otherwise, people are changing the channel or talking a walk. I promise you, we will absolutely deliver and you know we can.“
