TNA Wrestling’s Moose has praised the efforts of TNA World Heavyweight Champion Alex Shelley ahead of their title match at Hard to Kill 2024.
Moose is cashing in his ‘Feast or Fired’ World Championship opportunity to challenge Shelley at the January 13 show that will serve as TNA’s official relaunch.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Moose spoke about his upcoming opponent. He said,
“I think he’s one of the best wrestlers out there. Fortunately, he works for our company. I have tons of respect [for] his in-ring work. But let’s be honest here, in all of his title defenses, he has never wrestled somebody [like] me. Nick Aldis couldn’t step on my shoes. Steve Maclin, as much as I respect him, he can’t fill my shoes.
“He defended it against [Josh] Alexander, the guy I beat in what? 10 seconds? He can’t fill my shoes. He’s never wrestled a guy like me … I’m stronger than him. I mean, he might be a smaller guy, but I mean, none of you will argue that I’m probably faster than him and quicker than him. So the only thing he has over me is he’s been wrestling longer.”
Shelley and Moose have crossed paths both inside and outside of TNA Wrestling. With that being said, TNA Hard to Kill 2024 will mark the first singles encounter between the two wrestlers.
