Nick Aldis States What He Is Most Proud Of About His Time At The Top Of The NWA Roster

Nick Aldis names what he is most proud of about his tenure in the NWA.

Since the launch of the National Wrestling Alliance under Billy Corgan, Nick Aldis has been the face of the promotion, he is so closely associated with the promotion that even though he hasn’t held the title in over a year, many still consider him to be the top star.

Asked what he’s most proud of about his time with the alliance, Nick says he is just grateful that Billy Corgan trusted him enough to give him the ball. 

” Again, something that I always tried to envision myself as if you’re not shooting for the top, then, what’s the point? I have enjoyed the fact that I’ve been the face of the company and the brand, and I do appreciate that it’s still the case, you know, even a year after holding the belt, I mean, haven’t hold held the title since I lost or dropped it last summer,” Nick said on Sports Guys Talk Wrestling 

“I think for me, it’s that and the fact that there are now a good number of people who have a regular paycheck coming in from pro wrestling, because of the sacrifices that I made in the work that I did. Obviously, Billy is financing it. He is the ultimate decision-maker now. But I think when I look around, and I see some of them are my friends, some of the people I greatly admire and respect, and to know that they are now getting a regular payment in their bank account every couple of weeks for being a pro wrestler, because the NWA is — Billy felt comfortable enough with me steering the ship, so to speak, so that they could grow it to that level where some of the boys could get taken care of, and they can pay their bills and they can feed their families. That’s probably the ultimate high point for me.”
