Nick Aldis recently spoke with the folks from Wrestling Inc. for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the former NWA World's Heavyweight Champion spoke about the relationship between Tony Khan and Billy Corgan, as well as how he did want to go to AEW but didn't want to leave NWA until they could successfully operate without him.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview.
On how he did want to go to AEW but wanted NWA to be in a place that they could operate without him: "Well, I thought that it was well known at this point that I had talked to [AEW CEO Tony Khan] very early on, and there’s a lot more to it than people know. Essentially, I wanted to go, but I also wanted to wait until I had got the NWA to a point where I felt like they could function effectively."
On how he should have reached out sooner because the relationship between Billy Corgan and Tony Khan had changed: "And by the time that came around, again, the relationship between Tony and Billy had changed. And I probably should have reached out sooner and had my own direct communication, instead of trusting what was being told to me about what was potentially coming up down the road. I’ll just say that."
