Since its revival in 2017, the National Wrestling Alliance has become synonymous with Nick Aldis. The 35-year-old star quickly established himself as the bearer of the NWA flag, first taking the NWA Worlds heavyweight title in 2017 and defending it in various promotions around the world. As he dropped ten pounds of gold to Cody Rhodes for a brief period in fall 2018, he put him in charge of Aldis II’s reign in illustrious company. The National Treasure held the NWA Worlds title for 1,043 days, making it the longest running champion of the 21st century.
That covenant expired last year NWA 73rd Anniversary Show Aldis was also deposed by Trevor Murdoch. Since then, the British-born wrestler has continued to have one-on-one feuds with the likes of Chris Adonis, Tom Latimer, Matt Cardona and others, but he has never strayed more than an arm from the world title scene.
In fact, Aldis was scheduled to take the NWA Worlds title one-on-one NWA 74th Anniversary Show, but was replaced by Tyrus due to what NWA owner Billy Corgan described as “politics”. Whatever problems existed between Aldis and NWA, it seemed to have been resolved to some extent, as Aldis started NWA 74 Weekend with an open forum and Flip Gordon will wrestle at Night 2.
“The open forum I discovered at the same time as everyone else. Look, I don’t have a problem. I don’t have a microphone problem. I don’t think anyone who’s seen me over the past few years would deny it,” said Aldis Liam Crowley of ComicBook.com. “Now what I chose to do at the time, that’s a different story. I don’t know. I’ll see how I feel. The Chase is a special place for me because I had a very important hand in getting wrestling back to Chase after 30 years, whatever. And I’m proud. It’s very my role to be able to get wrestling back there. So I’m going to absorb all of that. And then when I get to Saturday’s event, I’m going to speak from the heart. That’s all I can do. That’s all I know how to do.”
This open forum should give fans an idea of Aldis’ future plans. The former champion confirmed that he has a lot of chests within NWA that he has yet to check out.
“I feel like there’s a hell of a lot that is unpaid and incomplete for me,” Aldis said. “I’ve had problems with having this kind of hypothetical discussion before.” “So I would qualify it by saying when I choose to sign a contract somewhere, that’s I am fully committed to that organization at the time I’m under contract. For me, that’s being a professional.”
Regardless, Aldis hinted that he still has aspirations of going to that “one master level”.
“Having said that, it’s always hard to talk about having aspirations to go ahead and beat another big… For me, there is one major level I haven’t accomplished in the game and everyone knows what it is. I won’t deny that this is still something I think about all the time.” “I think the difference is that I’ve made peace with the idea that it will or won’t happen. And some of that will be out of my control. I will do everything I can to increase any opportunity that is presented to me. I think I proved that by taking NWA, which was life support, and now We’re sitting here today discussing the annual pay-per-view, so I don’t feel like I’m talking from school saying I know how to get the most out of the least.
“I’ve been blessed with some opportunities and had a very decorated career in terms of tournaments and people that I’ve been able to share the ring with and things like that. But yes, there is a lot left to achieve. And all I can do is continue to give whatever is given to me. Whatever It was the stage I’d give, I try to make it the highest stage I can. And I’m going to keep performing. So on Saturday night when I go out and talk, I’m going to try to make sure it’s the most compelling promotion I can give. And then the match with Flip on Sunday, I’m going to try to make sure it’s the best match in The whole weekend. So that’s all I can do as a performer. As for what comes next, time will tell.”
Aldis’ return to NWA comes the same night as Matt Cardona’s return. The former NWA Worlds Champion was forced to vacate the title in NWA’s self-branded pay-per-view system, NWA Alwayz is ready, in June. just us NWA 74main event change, Always ready It was originally scheduled to be the headliner by Aldis as he challenges Cardona for his title. This would have been a rematch for the two, as Cardona defeated Aldis by disqualification in March.
No matter how things go, Aldis notes that he is in no hurry to get back into the ring with Cardona.
“I didn’t lose any sleep over not replaying with Cardona because in my opinion anyone who watched the game in Nashville knows I hit him and the conditions were what they were. But I don’t particularly care about guys who go into business for themselves and try to increase their value by decreasing That’s not a good business for me,” Aldis said. “I don’t need to go and bury my opponent to make myself. The only way you can create value in a wrestling property is to increase the value and realization of everyone involved. So if you want to come on and be like, ‘I used to be in WWE, this sucks, this guy sucks,’ This guy has never been in WWE. It’s not cool.” I don’t really see the work in it. Especially when I can wrestle circles around it and tie it in knots. For me, I don’t see where the money is in that. I don’t see the workplace and to be honest none of the people who pushed me to work did In this area.
“The endorsement I got from guys like Ricky Morton and Austin Idol and Jeff and Jerry Jarrett Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, different guys telling me, ‘That’s why I respect you. Mind you, I’ve never been to WWE. And I haven’t watched cable TV in years. However, somehow I still manage to maintain that kind of realization. I did it by uplifting everyone around me, not by taking pictures. Cheap and influence people to trend on Twitter.”
