Summary

Nic Nemeth shares the story behind his New Japan Pro Wrestling debut, and how he managed to keep it a secret! He talks about his WWE release after nearly 20 years, and what Vince McMahon had to say about it. He remembers training at OVW, learning from Lance Storm and Chavo Guerrero, how David Diggler turned into Dolph Ziggler, and how he made the most of his record losses at WWE. He also breaks down his two WWE World Heavyweight title runs involving Edge and Alberto Del Rio respectively, and tells his crazy Money In The Bank briefcase story. Plus, Nic recalls Shawn Michaels’ feedback about one of his matches, and he shares his journey into stand-up comedy with his brother, AEW star Ryan Nemeth.
