Nic Nemeth Says These Two WWE Stars Should Be On Everyone's GOAT List

One of wrestling's most popular debates is centred on the topic of the "GOAT," or the greatest of all time. Regardless of the massive pool of potential candidates, TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth insists that two current WWE superstars should always be included in the respective discussion.


"When it comes to [Rey Mysterio] and Randy [Orton], it's two people that should be on everyone's list, but you don't hear that that much," Nic Nemeth said on "Busted Open Radio." "I'm sitting here, I'm like, yeah, everyone asks the greatest of all time. They always say a handful of people, but Rey Mysterio, by the way, still going. I listened to the interview [he recently did], 35 years, still going."


"... [Rey] is an absolute all-time great, beloved in any locker room," Nic Nemeth continued. "One of my favourite guys to beat up because every time you punch him, he [squeaks] when you punch him, and it's the greatest thing in the world. He's the best babyface you could ever work with. And he can do some of the coolest stuff in the world."


Nic Nemeth further applauded Rey Mysterio for cementing himself as one of WWE's most successful underdogs, especially during a time when many of his opponents were six-foot-five and above. As Rey Mysterio's career carried on, Nic Nemeth, who performed as Dolph Ziggler in WWE, recalled WWE trying to set up multiple talents as his replacement. Ultimately, WWE's attempts were done in vain, as Nic Nemeth says Rey Mysterio was an "irreplaceable" in-ring figure.


While Rey Mysterio thrived in being an ultimate underdog, Randy Orton remains one of the most decorated champions in WWE history with 14 world titles to his name. Trailing behind only the likes of John Cena and Ric Flair, Randy Orton is currently tied for the second most world title reigns alongside Triple H and Charlotte Flair.
