​It’s “Strictly Business,” Right?

Nick Aldis has built a solid team around him, and his NWA World heavyweight championship. If we’ve learned anything over the years in today’s wrestling, a champion has to have a solid ensemble cast around him. From the days of the Four Horsemen, and The Dangerous Alliance, to today’s La Faccion Ingobernable, and The Foundation, someone simply has to have the champion’s back! Nick Aldis, realizing this fact, has built a nice ensemble in the National Wrestling Alliance that he calls “Strictly Business”. This crew consists of Thomas Latimer, a former World tag team champion, a beast of a man. At 6’3” and 231lbs, he tears through the competition in a scary fashion. Now that he’s broken into the singles division of the NWA, it has to be said, can anyone stop him? Standing by Latimer’s side is his lovely girlfriend, and powerhouse wrestler in the women’s division, the “Brickhouse,” Kamille. Although being called just “an associate” at this time, the veteran grappler Chris Adonis is right by the side of each of these members, and has quickly won the NWA National Heavyweight title after associating with Strictly Business. Adonis, even bigger than Latimer, at 6’4” and 257lbs seems to be the “enforcer” of the faction, powering through anyone that’s pointed out to him, holding that traditional title belt high, as he does so.

While I am not wanting to cause waves in a faction that I am a fan of, a supporter of, the question has to be asked. Does the “Real” World champion really mean what the title of his faction clearly says? Is everything “Strictly Business?” Aldis stirred the pot a little just a few weeks ago on NWA Power when he plainly stated that “Strictly Business” could branch out, and consists of wrestlers outside of the NWA. He also stated that no one’s position within the faction is “safe.” This lead to Kamille clearly being frustrated with Aldis, insisting that her man, Thom Latimer is already “World title” worthy. Nick Aldis has yet to answer this statement clearly, other than to say Kamille misinterpreted him. My question though is, did she? As Aldis builds this stable, will he decide that those who get too close to  being a title contender, no longer deserve a spot in “Strictly Business?” This is pure speculation on my part, there’s no direct evidence of this…yet. However; as I study NWA Power, it seems to be the conclusion that Kamille is concerned about. Will Nick Aldis prove us all wrong, and show us that in the NWA it is “Strictly Business,” and give title shots to anyone that is worthy of them? Even if those that are worthy are stablemates of his, Thom Latimer, or Chris Adonis? Or will Aldis remove anyone that gets too close to “sweet Charlotte” from Strictly Business for reasons that he will drum up on his own, in an attempt to distract the fans, and the NWA ranking committee, from those who threaten his reign the most? I’m nearly certain Aldis will call this article “Click bait,” but I’m sorry champ….this is Strictly Business. ​
