Just In: Miami Dolphins’ Mike McDaniel have just made another horrifying decision that either make or break the team this season. Does this risk worth taking…….
If the Dolphins want any chance of earning one of the coveted AFC Wildcard places, they’ll need to play flawlessly for the rest of the regular season. Despite winning five of their previous six games since Tua Tagovailoa returned as quarterback, they slipped into a hole during his four-game absence.
As Tagovailoa and the 2024 Dolphins’ team prepare to land in Houston on Friday night, a former player from the team is experiencing what he calls the “biggest moment of his career.”
Roughly twenty-four hours before his biggest moment since turning pro wrestling, A.J. Francis will challenge Nic Nemeth for the Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling world championship on Friday night. Francis admits he bounced around from team to team throughout his NFL career, always finding himself on the roster bubble.
Francis said NFL.com, “Friday’s honestly the biggest moment of my career,” in the days leading up to his bout at Atlanta’s Center Stage Theater, which will be shown live on TNA+. This is my maiden bout for a world title. Even after 20 or 30 years in the business, some wrestlers never have a chance to face a TNA-level world champion. The TNA world title is one of the most illustrious, significant, and consequential wrestling world titles of all time. It is a great honor and a privilege to be even considered for the competition.
From 2013 to 2018, defensive lineman Anthony Francis bounced about rosters, playing for the New York Giants, the Washington Commanders, the Miami Dolphins, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Seattle Seahawks, the New England Patriots, and Washington. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland.
Francis claims that his career was revolutionized by Dave Gettleman, the former general manager of the GM Giants.
“I definitely played well enough to make the team, but, you know, Gettleman decided not to keep me,” he added. “And, if you ask any New York Giants fan, that’s not the only mistake he’s ever made.”
As far as Francis is concerned, the NFL paved the way for his entry into professional wrestling, and he is eternally grateful for that.
Francis was able to “open so many doors for me in wrestling” thanks to the NFL. I was already being booked on the indies three or four months into my wrestling training before I even went to WWE. This was because people in D.C. were booking me as a former Commanders player. As an ex-Dolphins player, I was enjoying a busy schedule in South Florida. The National Football League alone was a huge boon to my wrestling and, by extension, media careers.
Friday night will be the most important match of the former Miami Dolphins star’s professional wrestling career, and he is not complaining.
