My son Thor would like to challenge Aldis for the NWA Championship.

Don't really care about Aldis as champion.

He's a big improvement over Storm, should have done it in the first match.

Mmm, not sure. Like, in terms of raw ability and whatever, maybe, but he's just minus points on interesting for me.

What's interesting about Tim Storm? Have you seen the guy in the ring, anything interesting about him goes out the window once you see that. Aldis at least has some name value and can actually move in the ring.

No, I haven't, and I might agree then. I think any of the "name" Aldis has is attached to TNA, which is a bit of a wash. I'm not opposed to the belt being taken off Storm, but I'm just not enthused about champion Aldis.

I'd get that if he was going by Magnus but he's been out of TNA for a bit, only showed up to pretty much drop the GFW title this year and was gone. I think he understands the stigma that comes with being associated with that company and has tried to distance himself from it. Still a better option than Tim Storm who can barley move and the only thing interesting about him being s he's old.

Yeah, but without that name recognition he doesn't really have the name recognition, you know? I feel like if they wanted a "star," they should go with someone who is actually a star, or someone that hasn't already been tried to turned into a star by two separate promotions (that are invariably linked in people's minds), and didn't work.
It's not his fault, entirely. He's a good talent. He's just not the guy I'd want to be my World Champion, especially right now given his performative development. |

Better is subjective. Like, he's better in the ring. But I don't think he's better when you weight the baggage that comes with him.

Agree about the name though and feel like he should go back to Magnus, Impact seems willing after the Hardy deal. Whats the baggage you feel he carries? I get the TNA association but its not like that's a career deterrent. The Dixieland match was catastrophic but his development was pretty good throughout his TNA run I thought. British Invasion wasn't bad and he later was involved in Main Event Mafia with Sting, Joe and Kurt as well. His pursuit of the World Title was poorly handled but really had potential with AJ leaving. I think him leaving and doing the GFW stuff which never got going hurt his image more than TNA ever did.

I also don't think it's about a star. Seems to me Billy is going with a more traditional style and actually trying to make money. He has the experience with TNA and how they try to go after so called stars and I don't think he wants any part of that. I think he's looking long term and Storm seemed to fit what he's looking for until the guy actually got in the ring and couldn't pull off what they were going for. I'm not saying Aldis is great or anything but from what's available I believe he's the NWA's best option at the moment for what they seem to be doing.

If he's looking long term, I don't think a guy in his 50's as his champion was ever the plan.

Agree but it was they guy he essentially inherited when he bought the company. Seeing as he wanted to play on the tradition of the NWA an older guy probably made sense to start out but once he seen what he could do in the ring he quickly realized Storm wasn't it. If not I'd assume he'd have Aldis take the title off him in the first match.

Austin Idol is managing Aldis and was with him during the CZW match.

Agree with Destor. I haven't been impressed with anything I've seen from Storm. What they've done with Jocephus has been intriguing and I'm glad he won. I wouldn't mind if he beat Aldis.

Storm is inherently more interesting than half the WWE roster.

Austin Idol in his corner gets me on board with Aldis a little bit.

Ring announcer for the Empty Arena Match sort of sounded like Aiden English.

Well that may be why Corgan hasn't had a hit in two decades.

I'm personally rooting for Tommy Dreamer to beat him in March at one of Dreamers HoH shows even though I know it won't happen.

Lol I remember all those amazing NWA title matches featuring Ric Flair against Randy Mulkey.
What a joke. |

Ew. I hope the match is stopped because Aldis is at risk for heading to prison for manslaughter.

You wouldn't be saying that if Doug Basham came out of retirement to challenge him.
