Nic Nemeth Discloses Ridiculous Reason Why He Lost So Much in WWE

Nic Nemeth was released from WWE in September and took his time before making his next career move in 2024. Thankfully, he is gaining traction in promotions like TNA and NJPW. However, he recently opened up about the reasons behind his setbacks during his tenure in WWE.

Nic Nemeth enjoyed a lengthy career in WWE, securing multiple championships along the way. However, despite his undeniable talent, many felt he was underutilized. Nemeth often found himself on the losing end of matches, but his reputation for making his opponents shine remained intact.

During an appearance on Eyes Up Here With Francine, Nic Nemeth shed light on why he was consistently booked to lose in his WWE career. He revealed that WWE higher-ups decided to rib Pat Patterson, who was very high on Nemeth, by having Nemeth lose most of his matches.

“Either nobody is rooting for you in the meeting because you’re not 6’5” or 300 pounds or you’re not Vince’s [Vince McMahon] or Hunter’s [Triple H] favorite guy, so no one is going to be like, ‘Yeah, that’s a good idea, boss. I like him too.’ There is not one of those things. Then, there is also the other extreme where Pat Patterson was a big fan of mine, and he was more of a consultant, so some months he is there every TV, sometimes he’s talking to Vince all the time, and some months he’s gone for a few weeks. He was a little bit older and enjoying his life. Sometimes, there is nobody there, and if nobody has your back, it’s tricky already because I’m not a legacy, I don’t have any inside information or nobody is looking out for you. Also, I got to a point where the top of the top, other than Vince, pulled me aside and said, ‘Pat pushes for you so much because he says such great things and sees such great things in you, that we’re actively ribbing him by having you lose every week.’ He laughed when he said it. I go, ‘That’s funny, but that’s my career where I already lose 80% of the time, now I’m losing 95% of the time. Come on.’ They thought it was a cool thing to tell me.”

Nic Nemeth also claimed that Vince McMahon told him he wanted him to stay in WWE forever. Nevertheless, Nemeth definitely doesn’t miss having to deal with such things now that he’s not in WWE anymore and that’s all that matters.
