Ryan Nemeth: If A Wrestling Company Could Help Show That I’m A Serious Athlete, That Would Be Great

Ryan Nemeth wants to be taken seriously. 

In the world of professional wrestling, not everyone can always be the top dog. In AEW and ROH, Ryan Nemeth often finds himself on the losing end of matches. Still, he would like to be taken seriously. 

During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Nemeth said he sees his appearance at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom, alongside his brother Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler), as a chance to reintroduce himself to the wrestling world as a more serious performer. 

“In the world of wrestling on my own, I think the little interaction we had at Wrestle Kingdom was a really nice reintroduction to wrestling to be showcased in a way that wasn’t a silly punchline, falling over myself like the 3 Stooges with the Wingmen or something. That was fun, and it served its purpose, but I’m greatly looking forward to showcasing myself as an athletic, serious talent, which I literally am in real life. So, if a wrestling company can help me show that, that would be great. Thank you very much, boss. I enjoy being funny and making people life, and it’s great, but I’m also a very good wrestler. I had fun being in the Wingmen and I had fun being The Hunk and it was great, but I have other stuff to offer. I’m literally an award-winning athlete, actor, and performer. Literally a crossover star. Let’s use that, that’d be great,” said Nemeth. 

In the time since Wrestle Kingdom, Nic Nemeth has also appeared in TNA Wrestling. Attacking new TNA Wrestling World Champion, Moose at the end of TNA Hard To Kill 2024. Learn more here. 

Ryan Nemeth also says that he had been telling his brother to leave WWE for over a decade before Dolph Ziggler was finally released. Read more here.
