On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, former WWE Superstar Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler) discussed his upcoming IWGP Global Heavyweight Title match against David Finlay.
Nemeth will make his NJPW in-ring debut against Finlay on February 23 at ‘The New Beginning in Sapporo: Night 1’ event. He said,
“I’ve seen [Will] Ospreay wrestle before. I’ve seen Ambrose wrestle before — Moxley — and I had not seen [David] Finlay, and I go, ‘Man, everyone to me seems like a young kid …’ And I heard he’s been there back and forth to Japan for eight-nine years, and I go, ‘I don’t know what his work is like; Can this guy go? Can he do a thing?’ And I got to sit front row and watch a story play out with him and his partners teaming up in the match, and I went, ‘This is a young guy who can go, who has the potential, who is a champion at the moment, and I really think there could be something there. I don’t know. There’s something missing at the moment, I think.’”
