Speaking with Sportskeeda Wrestling, thanks to Casino.org, TNA Wrestling World Champion & one-half of the TNA Wrestling World Tag Team Champions Nic Nemeth was asked about the late legend and the WWE Dusty Cup. Nemeth took time to point out how blessed he was to have time with the former NWA World Champion.

“Yeah, you know what, we are busy, but it would be fun to be a part of the Dusty,” Nemeth said, “just because I was the luckiest guy in the world my whole life. I got to be taught by Dusty. We got to learn promos from Dusty in Florida. Are you freaking kidding me?”

Nemeth spoke about an angle he had with Rhodes on Monday Night RAW that, according to him, went terribly. But Rhodes saw it differently, and beamed with pride the next time he saw Nemeth. It’s often said that you should never meet your heroes, but according to Nemeth, Dusty was the exception to the rule.

“I got to be in the ring with him on WWE RAW once, and I was terrible. I was so bad, and he was so good and so smooth and had so much fun that he afterwards – I guess the quarter hour did a good number because he was getting all the emails back then. After that, every time I saw Dusty, he goes, ‘Nicky Nemeth!’ He goes, ‘We were the number one segment on Monday Night RAW, me and you.’ I said, ‘Dusty, that was you! It could have been you versus a towel or you versus a broom, and it would have been the number one segment. But I’m going to take this because it’s you saying it to me.’ But the coolest friggin thing in the world was being a friend of his and just talking to him or having his number. It’s absurd to me in this world sometimes when you get to meet your heroes.”

As far as the actual WWE Dusty Cup is concerned, the bracket is already filled, but that doesn’t mean the Nemeths can’t find their way into it this year.

Nic Nemeth would welcome facing new competition in the WWE Dusty Cup

The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic has already kicked off, with 14 teams across five different brands associated with WWE participating this year. Unfortunately, TNA Wrestling was left out of the pool this time around. Though Nic Nemeth claims that there’s always a possibility a team “can’t make” the tournament.

“In pro wrestling you could say, here’s the entire roster here, or here’s the brackets of what’s happening, and on that day we cut backstage, and two of these teams are laid out, or someone’s locked in a dumpster, and boom, all of a sudden new stuff happens. That happens in pro wrestling all the time.”

There’s already been a seed planted for this kind of situation regarding the team of Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux. DVD missed out on a six-man tag on WWE NXT this week due to a punctured lung. If Dux is unable to compete, that does open up a slot in the tournament. And if an opportunity does arise, the Nemeths would welcome a chance at fresh competition.

“Yes, it’d be fun to be a part of it. I have a ton going on right now, but it would be kind of cool to be a part of it. And I don’t know who I’d want to face. I would like to face someone I’ve never been in the ring with, so to see if Ryan and I still have the cohesion when we’re going out there against someone that isn’t in our usual wheelhouse.”

Nemeth isn’t kidding when he says he’s busy. In TNA Wrestling alone, he’s the World Champion and one-half of the Tag Champions. At Bound for Glory on October 11, he’ll be putting the World Championship on the line against Leon Slater, while his tag team partner Ryan Nemeth challenges for the vacant X-Division Title.

The Nemeths are also deeply involved in a longstanding feud with The Hardys and are possibly a target for former Wyatt Sicks members Samuel Shaw and Joseph Sawyer. Shaw and Sawyer have been attacking several TNA Wrestling roster members, including Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Leon Slater, and yes, Ryan Nemeth. So to say the Nemeths have “a lot going on” is a bit of an understatement.
