Nick Aldis I really enjoyed this conversation. Thanks for being so generous with your time Nick!
really cool interview, your amazing.
Thanks for renewing my interest in wrestling. I grew up watching mid south aka uswa as a child. I remember NWA champion Harley Race the goliath vs Jerry the king Lawler the David. It was a great time to be a wresting fan. Now you are goliath and doing great with it.
; I hope you enjoyed your recent trip to the Maritimes in Canada, sir.
Well done! Great interview!
Such a well rounded man, he honestly makes that belt feel and look prestigious again. Great skill all around hes the reason I watch power
He’s the man!
@@ChrisVanVliet Your the man!
I agree 100%. Aldis is kind of like a great throwback... from the way he dresses and that he always has the belt with him, to his in-ring style and more. I love NWA Powerrr right now but he's the only one that should have the title for quite a while because, as you mentioned, he's making it feel like it means something again and the Worlds Heavyweight Championship, which in my opinion is the greatest belt ever, definitely deserves that...
Me too. Classic arrogant bad guy. He owns wwe completely
@@marcuswhitlow548 I am definitely in agreement, when they did the title exchange to Cody I did cry because his father held the title at one point if not many points in his career. However it just added to the story that is building this title up
Nick Aldis Vs Drew McIntyre would be a great match.
Nwa title vs wwe title
I’m glad that Aldis didn’t go to wwe. He would’ve been wasted talent. I’m happy for him and the @nwa. Billy Corgan made a smart move buying the NWA.
Billy Corgan didn't make a smart move buying the NWA, he made a smart move making nick aldis the franchise.
They originally wanted drew mcintyre
Happy fortune made aldis available
@@tonyh1718 shame they couldn't get both. Aldis vs mcintrye would be a great feud. Not sure aldis was second choice but he's awesome
Buying nwa wasn't smart from a business view point but good for us that he's reviving this great brand
@@etregurtha754 lagana mentioned it
Drew would have been a fine champ
My dream is daniel bryan leaves wwe in 2.5 years and comes to nwa
He would be a great champ
Aldis is the British Ric Flair, he is going to be a key personality in the revival of the NWA
He looks talks and acts like a champ should...so much like Flair in so many ways just less wooooo but that makes sense since he's British lol. He's more a gentleman than the wheelin & dealin kiss stealin kind of guy. But just like Naitch he looks like a champ should. He's definitely a British Gentleman Ric Flair
Is going? No, he's Been.
he already was
Too bad he lists the Hitman as his hero, right off the bat here... Man... The Hitman?!?
I knew that this new NWA was too good to be WOOOOO... I mean, true!
@@lucxv1045 wtf man, bret hart is an iconic wrestler!
Hardcore Country Mickie James Married a Elegant British Man. Opposites attract 😂

@@disposable_hero1725 Dude you beat me by two hours😏
@@ComicBookGuy420 he beat you good and you liked it
@@pengyzin8668 lol indeed
jay craig ah ha so thats who she is with.
Aldis carries himself as a world champion. On camera he comes off stern and arrogant and reminds me of Nick Bockwinkle. Off camera, from what I have seen, Nick seems like a well spoken and humble dude. Great interview of a great champion
Exactly. He brings prestige to the title, where as WWE treats the championship like a stage prop.
Nick Aldis has grown to become one of the best in the business today. He has given the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title the prestige it deserves and delivers on the mic and in the ring on every episode of NWA Powerrr. Sticking with NWA the way he has throughout the years is now paying off for him and it's awesome to see. Huge respect for Aldis.
100% Agree
Nwa looks boring
@Nicklas Mudymba aew is better
Both are gay same with wwe
I'm an even bigger fan of Nick Aldis after watching this
AEW needs to use Chris Van Vliet for backstage interviews I feel like I haven’t seen him on AEW television in a while
Way too long. He should be doing Tony schiavones job on dark too. I like Tony on commentary but that particular role would be better for CVV.
DO YA?!
completely agree, he should replace everything that alex marvez does
I think they will utilize him once they expand Dark?
@@TheVichernandez feed nana
@ 17:41 The reality is the WWE will ruin Nick Aldis like they ruined EC3. EC3 anywhere else would be money, he proved that in TNA. The WWE is keeping their thumb on all the TNA castoffs.
AJ Styles and Joe did well for a little while, but what they did to Roode is one of the reasons I stopped watching WWE
@@DisastrousIntentionally as i said, Styles and Joe both did well
I said nothing about how THEY were treated
Did you read my comment before you went on your little rant about indie darlings?
@@DisastrousIntentionally I said nothing about my favourite indie stars getting to WWE
Primarily because they'd end up on the scrapheap
to reiterate, AJ and Joe were treated well
It was how they treated Roode when he got to the main roster that sucked
Please actually read this comment before responding
@@DisastrousIntentionally Indy darling
He's been in this business for decades
The man is a damn veteran
Indy darling would refer to somebody like Ricochet before he made it to the big time
He's been used for shit
Big time in nxt
Then fuck all until he was running for that stupid 24/7 title
Using terminology wrong is on you
Ec3 was better used in tna 😭
CVV is the best lets get him to 1million subscribers in 2020 he deserves it so much Love from germany
Pierre Chapellier best interviewer out wrestling wise. But he’s nowhere near that and has been doing this for years.
He’s not even getting 500k by next year .
Aldis' suit game is untouchable right now. I love how he feels like he has to carry himself with the same prestige as the championship.
Live your gimmick
I'm about to get a suit made by the people that make his suits for my sister's wedding.
So WWE wouldn’t sign him cause Cena felt he was to much competition to himself & used his previous relationship with Mickie as a excuse
Kyle Bushnell wouldn’t have been utilized correctly anyways
I think Aldis is buddies with bad news Bennet
raymund usi both British. May of come up together
Corgin has done a masterful job of a slow build. He has done it right and with the right mix of talent. Sky is the limit. One thing they have that cannot be replicated and is invaluable is sweet Charlotte and the undeniable history behind it
No Wrestling Show has taken and held my attention the way NWA Powerrr has
Its the kind of wrestling i grew up on
I lag on some of my wrestling, but never powerrr
If WWE doesn't see value in the real world champion, it's WWE's problem.
What a joke.... They,re making macintyre a wwe Champion.... Are u blind....what u think?....macintyre has no value....???
@@EarnestTargenfyre yes i hope not just this time they saw a VALUE, cause you know how stubborn VINCE is!
He’s not wrong
Aranya Earnest but your not wrong
the way this starts off is so brilliant. choosing the clip where he says, "my entire career I've been either completely overrated or underrated"
I remember when this guy was on the UK version of Gladiators and there was a story he was leaving to be a wrestler.. never saw him being THIS good.
Which one was he, Wolf?
Oblivion
Anyone else remember the British Invasion team
Was that with that terry guy
Rob terry
So happy you talked to Aldis. I'm one of those people who feel like he's criminally underrated. His heel work in NWA right now is superb.
He is criminally overrated
Criminally underrated I agree
How can that be possible when he’s the champ
He’s great. I saw him make Sting tap out at the Impact Bound for Glory in San Diego
The RAZ Band I remember that
Love what Aldis is doing in NWA power. In an inflated market of flips, tricks and no selling; it's nice to see something with atmosphere of NWA Power.
Yes
I'd love to see a program between Nick and Killer Kross. An old school NWA "Clash of Titans".
Chris Van Vliet is one of the best interviewers off all time!
lol for some reason it literally sounds like he's losing his English accent and becoming an American
Thats usually how it is most of the time
he's been in the States long enough. To be the champion he needs to be understood.
WWE turning Starccade into a house show is intentional, no doubt
NWA doesn't own the name
That wasnt starrcade
They can have the rights, but they can never own it
Truth...
Definitely carries himself a respectable champion love his old school and different vibe
Dear Chris, if possible could you do an interview with Jake The Snake Roberts?
That would be awesome ^^
17:41 He’s talking about John Cena
I had hoped AEW would pick Mickie James up. One of the best female wrestlers, ability wise, the west has ever produced. And can still go today (her match with Asuka on NXT a couple years ago?) - she has bags of experience to pass on.
And then Aldis could pop in for a visit, a match, a feud...
She was not really available for AEW to sign. After her injury once she was able to travel again (not wrestle) WWE offered her a job backstage. She is smart and I am sure will be a great producer.
Very good interview, and I’m happy that Nick Aldis has found a place that showcases his talent and the positive effect he’s having on the product (and the business) is uplifting. It took time, effort and patience, and darned if he didn’t have to sell out his principles to do so.
What an interview
Aldis is incredible
His comment on HHH was a curve to me. Theres no way itd happen though as hhh would have to put over the nwa title too strongly in the lead up.
If vince was gone though.......
Big fan of Aldis! but Chris...why you making us wait? I need to watch this now!
People always want things "now". Well, sometimes you have to wait. That's life. He's obviously doing this to build up some suspense. He wants people to look forward to seeing it, and probably also to let all their friends know what's coming as well.
If you follow Chris on instagram, then you already know what's coming, you already know what you've got to look forward to.
JMFSpike you’re absolutely right. Plus I want to watch it with everyone!
Man Aldis is such a great wreslter and Champion, loved his work in TNA and he's doing wonders with NWA I love it 🙌🏻💪🏻 keep doing these killer interviews Chris 🙏🏻
Was always a fan of Nick in the ring, but after this interview, I'm a fan of the man as well. Seems like a really grounded and overall good dude. Wish them much success with NWA. It's hokey and corny as hell.... and yet I keep coming back for me
I'd hate to see Aldis in WWE, I have absolutely no confidence that they'd let him be his best self.
And if WWE has a „THE MATCH“ they, for absolutely no reason, throw Charlotte Flair in it.
I've been a fan of Nick Aldis since he was Magnus in the British Invasion! I'm proud of him for reviving the NWA!
I love Nick Aldis even more now.. He's a brilliant business man too. Love his whole approach to wrestling. Super cool dude.
Alex Riley should show up at Revolution PPV and challenge Moxley
Chris i dont subscribe to anyone else but you for these interviews you are by far the best out there thanks for another great interview
You’re the man. Thanks!!
I cant wait to watch this. I've been a big fan of Nick's ever since his debut in TNA. And have been keeping a close eye on him ever since he has won the NWA worlds championship. We all know this is going to be a great interview. It's the best worlds champion and the best Journalist in the business. Cant wait. All of us look forward to every interview that you do chris van vliet. Keep up that great work.
Aldis twiddling the nips on the title while he talks at around 25 mins was a can't look away but also trying to close out moment.
His climb to the main event push in that BFG series 2013 was amazing, I was rooting for him against AJ in that final. Still miss his theme song from that era.
I wonder if John Cena is the guy who doesn't want Nick in the WWE?
Why would Cena care though? Cena broke it off with Mickie so he could marry someone else. Mickie and Cena (and Nikki Bella) were on the same brand when Mickie came back (they even brought back Kenny Dykstra briefly around that time as well).
John Garbick.
Another great interview and the year only just started. You're going to give us one hell of a 2020 and beyond, Chris. Thanks.
And thank you!
I like how he strokes the belt as he talks and thinks lol
Thank God 🙏🏾 he didn't go to wwe.
These interviews are P R I C E L E S S. And these people are extraordinary.
this is one of the best and most entertaining informative interviews I've ever watched Thank you Chris for this. And Thank you Nick Aldis for being one of the most entertaining wrestlers in the business today. I enjoy your work and admire your dedication.
Wrestlings James Bond . Charming as it gets.
A real genuine professional.
I have much respect for Nick... Pure gentleman who can get it done in the ring...
It's taken far too long for this man to get the respect and admiration he deserves.
A TRUE world champion calibre of athlete.
And yes Nick I agree.... We need that U.K side plate
Cena still holding a grudge for Mickie marrying Nick?!?!? lol
Patrick Barnes why ?
WTF for?
@@ComicBookGuy420 Cena was with Mickie prior to her marrying Nick. Cena seems to be anti Nick because of that. He has always stated someone with power has it out against him which is why WWE never offered him anything. This pretty much shows you it is Cena (Mickie was cheating on her Fiance at the time with Cena - Kenny Doane from the SPIRIT SQUAD)
@@PatrickBarnes86 Cena moved on
Twice
I think he's a tool, and I know he's held talent down in the past, (nexus, among others) but considering he's been engaged at least once since then...
@@PatrickBarnes86 But Cena himself got married, divorced, and then moved on to Nikki Bella by the time Mickie got pregnant and eventually married to Nick Aldis. Hell, Cena, Nikki, and Mickie were on the same brand when Mickie came back to WWE. Not sure why you're making it seem like Mickie left Cena for Nick Aldis.
This isn't so much an interview as it is holding a mic while Aldis just talks.
😂😂
And im more than ok with this. He seems like a really cool dude to hang out with
That’s what it’s like if your a good interviewer
Nick's a top worker great on the Mike. He doesn't need garbage WWE.
NXT ain't garbage
Such a proper bloke. Flying the flag high not only for the NWA but England.
It's thanks go Nick, Melina, Trevor, Anderson and the entire #TenPoundsofGold series that has me watching and rooting for NWA!!
For a while now I was looking for a wrestler who I can like and back up , I didn't find it till I started watching NWA. Nick Aldis is such a great champion I like what he does and how he promotes himself. He doesn't get mad , doesn't cuss and yet hes the villain. He is what wrestling should be like, no gimmicks or pyros just plain down to earth wrestling. You can tell they don't do scripts, the storylines are unmatched, you don't see any hardcore matches just plain wrestling at its best. Nick Aldis is carrying the NWA as a great champion. Keep up the fantastic wrestling Nick I love your work , keep it up .
Wish there was an independant scene coalition going on. That's where I thought we were going with All In. Feel like creating AEW took wind out of the sails of the revolution that was going on....
Supposedly, Marty is working on multiple deals with a bunch of the smaller companies (ROH, NJPW, NWA, etc), to start working together and share talent
The irony is that the true NWA - back in the day - was actually a cabal of territories and not a single federation. The job of the NWA champ was to travel between all the territories, especially when one gets hot, face their most over performers and then move on.
Like MLW and PCW, sharing talent ect
Chris Van Vliet the type of guy to drink Pepsi with a spoon
The Real Worlds Champion!
Jericho says hold my bubbly 😂
@@mikem.7921 lol. Jericho is fun, but Aldis is a true Worlds Champion. He epitomizes what a champion is
@@Yoni123 100 percent agree!
Really great interview, I feel you guys barely touched the surface of you guys could of talked about. Hoping for a round 2 before the end of the year!
When this goes live I’ll have time to watch before I start my day. Awesome!
Perfect!
Chris Van Vliet is one of the hardest working individuals in professional wrestling today.
He doesnt have a flashy or exciting moveset, but hes the best man for the role. The charisma and way he carries himself is exactly what the nwa needs to bring prestige to the once fledgling promotion. What he, corgan, storm/jocephus, and everyone else involved have done from the "beginning" till now is simply incredible!
His matches with james storm, scurll and cody were excellant
He tells a story and with the back ground story its incredible
Nick Aldis is a great guy. I'm happy for him what he achieved with the NWA and going forward in the future. Also it's the first time i see him with glasses 😅. Looks sharp as hell. Good job on the interview Chris and i'm looking forward to the other talents you've interviewed. ☺
Nickelodeon Wrestler haha 😂 #Great
Awesome interview...Aldis is "The National Treasure"...He is I feel, very underrated but will definitely with more exposure this year break on thru...😉
Great interview! Nick Aldis has done a great job as the real world's heavyweight champion.
I’m so glad to see Nick finally interviewed by Chris
Why WWE didn't sign this man? This only proves how out of touch they are.
Cena is the reason
Kyle Bushnell Why would he be the reason?
@@ashley_sel9976 Because he’s married to Mickie James and Cena hooked up with Mickie James during her first run in WWE.
Ashley_Sel 99 cause cena hates anyone who looks a bit like him & use to be with Mickie
And rumor is she told nick that cenas move set in the bed room is even more limited than in the ring
Great job man. Looking forward to the other five interviews that you mentioned.
NWA has got me back into wrestling.
Aldis is money and encompasses everything Sweet Charlotte should be about.
Nick Aldis doesn't need WWE. He has a net worth of $104 Million Dollars. Which is about $100 Million more that his wife Mickie James $5 Million at WWE. This goes to show that the WWF/WWE is not all it's cracked up to be. Even Jim Cornette said they were making more territorial than Vince McMahon narcissist ass promotion.
I love Nick at NWA and more that happy the NWA is back.
I simply love this NWA product. It is saving wrestling!!
This was an awesome interview. I never followed Nick Aldis before, not even in TNA. But since quarantine, I've started to watch NWA Powerrr and I've been enjoying it a lot. After this interview, I must say, Nick Aldis is my favorite wrestler. He seems well mannered, humble, classy and educated. Everything you'd want in a World Champion.
I'm so glad he didn't go to the WWE. They would not know what to do with him, and would probably ruin him. He's better off being the face of the NWA.
Nick ALDIS has an energy you can talk for hours get a beer and it won't get old.
18:00 Cena
That's who I thought but he's not really around there at all anymore the past year 🤔
Bruce Prichard
Hmm, this is likely a long shot from being true, but possibly AJ Styles? He's currently "very very successful" in the WWE and has worked with Nick in the past. But I don't see AJ being that way. Just speculation.
@@alejandrovelazquez6714 nah I doubt its AJ..........my money is its John Cena
@@dustinnorton7968 well, about 3 years ago, cena still had pull, so yes, cena comes across as that petty
Awesome interview! I'm happy you let Nick talk and didn't interrupt him like so many other interviews I've watched. I just subscribed and am looking forward to more awesome interviews. Thanks!
I'm watching live!!! Hugh fan of your stuff Chris
Yes! Thanks for watching live!
Thanks for featuring an interview with whom I consider to be the top guy in the entire sport/business of Pro Wrestling today. I always respected Aldis but it wasn't until his first appearance and speech on the first episode of NWA Powerr that I became a total and dedicated FAN and believer. Nick Aldis is the real world's champ and is the epitome of how a champ should be. If Nick Aldis is gonna be on the card, I am spending my money on it and that's the best compliment I can give. Thanks to Nick Aldis for his great work.
To me there is absolutely no question that Nick Aldis is the Real World Champion. He took a long dead, irrelevant organization and made it relevant again. No offense to Tim Storm (who I love btw) or anyone else on the roster. He was able to draw money with these guys which to me is what makes a true champion. At the end of the day that's all that matters. It's a business and sometimes I think, me included forget that.
Can we get Stu bennet aka king barret interview
As an Englishman It fills me with pride seeing Nick as the champ.
Next step AEW. put that title over. Hangman MJF Pac so many talented young guys who would help Nick really put that NWA brand over. Dare I say WWE? They did it before, back in the 90’s...
He reminds me of a younger steve regal his mannerisms and his promos and wrestling style i love British wrestling
Not as naturally gifted as regal but he is certainly a quality performer, he has lifted the prestige of that title now though
What country u from??british indy scene is incredibly hot right now
He's a good wrestler, extremely talented, but nowhere as brutal as Regal could be when he wanted to lay them in
He totally only married Mickie to further his career. He thought that when she returns to WWE he would have a job but it didn't work out that way.
I think it's actually what stopped him getting a job with WWE, they don't mind wrestlers getting together in the company but they don't like hiring couples that are already together
Honestly, even though he'd make way more money in WWE. His character wouldn't work on WWE at all, but it works perfectly in powerrrr.
And get citizenship. But I think it was more to further his career, he seems like someone who would do anything to get ahead career wise
And get citizenship
pigmy days stop making false claims, the man is a hard worker
Alex Riley, Mason Ryan, Ryback, Wade Barrett, Luke Lesnar and Chris Beniot jr Should sign with AEW to get them back to 1 million viewers on tnt
@Don’t Look At My Channel they're both too boring moveset wise amd promo wise to my taste. Hopefully aew let's them go to a show for that like nwa
Dude shut up. Who tbe hell is gonna watch a show to see Mason Ryan. AEW IS NOT WWE'S TRASH CAN!
AEW was supposed to be the perfect alternative to WWE but in fact it's NWA. People need nostalgia right now in light of what a cesspool the world has become.
Rumor had it, it was Cena who didn't want Aldis in WWE because of Cena's past sexual relation to Mickie James
Regarding 28:28,I'd love to hear how mature Nick Aldis would deal with that, for my own wisdom
Nick Aldis is the best wrestler in wrestling today. Also there is no way Vince is ever going to do anything awesome with Starrcade. That was his rival promotions main wrestling pay per view, he will never have it become a big deal and certainly not cooler than Wrestlemania.
This fella so amazing I thought his on air Persona was him being himself.
Did you miss the early part of his career?
@@ComicBookGuy420 sum wat only seen him on TNA & NWA now dont remember him fir much mic work like he is now n NWA fit him PERFECT
@@HNIC-ERIC nah, the early part was him trying to portray a character, it just felt so contrived
Now though he is a lot more relaxed and sure of himself, just wish he could talk like he does normally, his promos are still like pulling teeth, he needs a manager
@@HNIC-ERIC my favourite part was as the tag team the British Invasion, solid in ring work
@@ComicBookGuy420 yep they was!
This was a great interview by allowing the champion to do the talking through your thoughtful questions
NJPW has lots of classic immovable object vs unstoppable force tho
Nick is just the best world champ on the market today... and I love AEW.
A great world champion, well dressed, well spoken, can wrestle in any era, and this is my 7th decade as a fan
I love that belt. It's beautiful. Better than anything in WWE or aew
He looks like he belongs in a luxury catalog for cars, umbrellas and upscale establishments.
Cross marketing
Come on, guys. Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like Hugh Jackman.
If I had a pound for every time he says like during this interview ....
Nick sure nailed it, WWE has to big fight feel anymore, it's way to watered down. What a great interview, awesome job CVV!
Can’t wait to see Marty and Nick have their rematch at The Crocket Cup 2020, should be great!!! Great interview Chris. Thank you!!!
