Nick Aldis Comments on Why NWA Is Most Toxic Wrestling Brand

WrestlingInc.com held a recent interview with Nick Aldis. One of the topics discussed included Aldis expanding on his earlier comments of his belief that the National Wrestling Alliance has become the most toxic brand in wrestling.

“The fan sentiment. The disregard for the fans. I’m not trying to get into the political stuff. That’s not interesting to me. Politics in this country is very, very split, very divided, and I’m a centrist. However, I feel like as a brand, you should do your best to be apolitical as well. And that’s not even really the meat of the matter.
It’s more about, the audience have been telling them one thing for a long time, and Billy specifically has been disregarding them and doing the complete opposite. Almost out of spite. I like to think I’m as in touch with the NWA audience as anybody, really more so than anybody. And the amount of communications I’ve had from fans over the last year and a bit, just pleading with me, ‘Please talk to him. Why is he doing this? Why is he doing that? What’s happened to the show? Why is he doing this?”
