TNA’s Nic Nemeth Retains World Title, Confronted by WWE Hall of Famer at Emergence

by

As a seasoned gamer of the squared circle, I must say that tonight’s TNA Emergence Iron Man match between Nic Nemeth and Josh Alexander was nothing short of epic. The 60-minute battle royale had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish!

Following a tie in their previous encounter, Nic Nemeth and Josh Alexander faced off again tonight at TNA Emergence pay-per-view for a 60-minute Iron Man match to finally settle their dispute. As predicted, it was tightly contested throughout, with Nemeth initially gaining a 2-0 advantage until Alexander scored two consecutive falls to level the score. In an exciting climax, Nemeth managed to squeeze out a 3-2 victory over Alexander. However, his triumphant moment was short-lived as WWE Hall of Famer John Layfield emerged and whispered something in Nemeth’s ear before departing immediately. In conclusion, Nemeth accepted Moose’s challenge for the Title at Victory Road.

Initially, Nemeth and Alexander displayed their impressive technical abilities, constantly responding to each other’s moves and taking turns in controlling the match. It was Nemeth who executed a surprising roll-up for the first pinfall. Throughout the bout, Alexander focused on weakening Nemeth by targeting his leg, while also considering attacking Nemeth’s back. The two standouts exchanged attempts at their finishing moves, but both managed to dodge them. However, shortly after, Nemeth struck with the Danger Zone to claim the second fall, putting him in a 2-0 advantage.

Alexander persistently targeted Nemeth’s leg and knee, manipulating them to inflict greater harm at times, only for Nemeth to retaliate by breaking Alexander’s fingers. In response, Alexander executed ten suplexes, followed by Nemeth performing the same number on Alexander. They subsequently exchanged several more suplexes. Later in the match, Alexander seized an opportunity to deliver a Tombstone maneuver to the Champion, but it fell short of securing a victory for him.

Turning point

In a sneaky move, Alexander secretly kept a weapon from the referee and used it against Nemeth, resulting in a pinfall that gave him an advantage. He then followed up with another C4 Spike maneuver, tying the score at 2-2 with another successful pin. Alexander attempted to secure another victory swiftly, but Nemeth managed to survive. Later, Nemeth held Alexander in a sleeper hold for some time before dropping him through a table.

As time ran short, both stars made pin attempt after pin attempt, but neither could secure it fully. With roughly three minutes remaining, Alexander executed Snake Eyes on an exposed turnbuckle and followed with Danger Zone, but Nemeth managed to kick out. Incredibly, Nemeth countered several C4 Spike attempts from Alexander, and retaliated with a Danger Zone and a C4 Spike of his own. This sequence ultimately ran down the clock, resulting in a victory for Nemeth.
