Nic Nemeth (formerly Dolph Ziggler) made a surprise appearance at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, and an ECW legend has shared his thoughts on the former WWE Superstar.
On a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer reacted to Nemeth’s intention of becoming a NJPW champion in 2024.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Nic Nemeth debuting in NJPW: “When we’re talking with Nick Nemeth, it’s a big step for him [to go to NJPW]. You think about the success of a Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, Cody Rhodes that they had going the path of New Japan. The guy was a former world champion. A lot of people say, though he had an amazing career in WWE, a lot of times [Nemeth was] underutilized, so now he’s getting to write his own way. It’ll be a cool year for pro wrestling, but it’ll be a very, very cool year for Nic Nemeth.”
“He’s my friend. I’ve always wanted to see him succeed … He could do it all in the ring. I’ve wrestled him. He’s so, so good. He’s a natural on the microphone. He has all those intangibles that you want to where you say, ‘Hey, this is a guy I could put my company around.’”
Nemeth was released from his WWE contract in September 2023.
