Viktor is a big fan of the current NWA product.
The former WWE star spoke on this topic during a recent interview with PW Mania, where he explained why the brand is the only wrestling he enjoys watching these days.
If I was to do anything nowadays in wrestling, I would see it more in line of the NWA. That’s the only product I really enjoy watching… I started watching NWA and its resurgence. I’m like, this has a very nostalgic, very awesome, nostalgic, old school feel to it but still has a good hard-hitting product. It’s not overly show-y, I wanna say, you know what I mean? It has almost that ROH vibe without the same type of crowd or maybe some of the similar wrestling styles as ROH because there’s a lot of cool veterans and younger talent coming up.
Viktor later reveals that he and his longtime tag partner Konnor tried to get into the NWA a few years ago but it didn’t end up happening.
I think it’s a really good mix and I attended their shows a couple months ago and I was really impressed with the locker room as well. It was just a really good environment… But me and Konnor tried to get in there a few years ago and that fell short as well so, as much as I’d like to, I don’t know if it’ll happen or not.
Elsewhere in the interview, Viktor spoke about the Ascension’s incredible run as NXT tag team champions. You can read about that here, or check out the full interview below.
