Thom Latimer Calls Nick Aldis’ SmackDown General Manager Role On WWE TV A ‘No-Brainer’
Thom Latimer comments on Nick Aldis finally making it to WWE TV.
After years of being the face of the NWA and spending some time in IMPACT as well, Nick Aldis made it to WWE TV as the general manager of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Now, Aldis’ best friend, Thom Latimer, has commented on his career move.
Thom Latimer told Steve Fall of WrestlingNewsCo that he sees the move as a no-brainer, and is excited to see how his friend will grow in the role.
“Jumping on to how Nick is now, I couldn’t be any more any more proud,” Latimer said. “I’m actually over the moon. saw the thing that he did on SmackDown the other night, it’s a no-brainer. I mean, everyone’s journey is different. He’s taken a strange detour, weird route to get there, but like I was telling someone the other day, everyone’s journey is different. I mean, I know some guys who started when I started, and only in the last few years, they’ve gotten signed. So, you know, again, everyone’s journey is different. It takes as long as it takes. Once you give up, that’s when you fucked it, pardon my French.
“For me, it’s like, ‘Man, WWE should have known.’ Maybe they did, but it’s like, they should have known this from day one,” Latimer continued. “Instantly when he was on my TV screen, he’s a guy that belongs. He is a star. He’s a guy that you can put any situation, give any role, and he will knock it out of the park. So I’m very excited to see what comes of this and how he grows and develops in the role that he’s got now.”
