Exclusive: Nick Aldis discusses NWA, All In, Cody Rhodes, Toxicity in TNA & the 'Spot-Monkey vs Old-School' mentality

"Now everybody cares about it and now everyone wants it." - Nick Aldis

Nick Aldis continuing the 'Ten Pounds of Gold' story at Wrestling MediaCon

Nick Aldis and Dave Lagana were at Wrestling MediaCon, a week after ALL IN had taken place and whilst they were there they continued the story of the 'Ten Pounds of Gold' by incorporating one final match between Aldis and British legend Doug Williams, putting the #1 Contendership to Cody's NWA Title on the line.

The match with Williams was set up in a 'Ten Pounds of Gold' live panel show the day before, with Lagana, Aldis and Jeff Jarrett all involved. It was a perfect way to develop the story further and a wonderful nod to Williams on the eve of his retirement. Aldis would successfully defeat Doug, cementing his place in a rematch with Cody at the NWA 70th Anniversary show. But I wanted to know if Aldis was sticking with the NWA.

You made a big announcement at Wrestling MediaCon in Manchester that you'd be having your rematch against Cody for the NWA's 70th anniversary show, it is safe to say that your involvement with the NWA is not over yet.

Aldis: I am exclusively involved with the NWA. Everything I'm doing now has been the best run of my career. I don't have a television show, I'm not on television, I don't have a multi-year, high number contract. But Billy Corgan is taking very good care of me, and Dave Lagana is a genius and between us all we've manifested this idea of what we could do with a so-called dead brand and a title that no-one cares about, and now everybody cares about it and now everyone wants it."
