Nic Nemeth backs several wrestlers to become major TNA stars
Nic Nemeth says several wrestlers in TNA could become major stars over the coming year.
He named Ricky Sosa, BDE, Jason Hotch and Mustafa Ali, and said The Elegance Brand could also produce breakout stars.
TNA is a professional wrestling promotion, and Bound for Glory is its pay-per-view event scheduled in Tampa.
Nemeth is set to defend the TNA World Championship against Leon Slater at the event.
He said Slater could become a world champion even if he does not win their match.
Nemeth won the title for a second time on June 28 and has defended it successfully three times since then.
He hopes fans will leave Bound for Glory knowing more of TNA’s rising wrestlers.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
I feel like [Ricky] Sosa, BDE, Jason Hotch, even Mustafa Ali, who’s been around for a while will become a permanent fixture in the main event scene.
The Elegance Brand has been waiting to pop off because of all the stuff Ash did to get it kicked off, and now that’s become its own entity.
And even if Leon Slater doesn’t pull it off, this guy is a main eventer.
This guy can be world champion tomorrow.
