Nick Aldis Says Joey Mercury Will Be Backstage at All In
– Nick Aldis spoke with Jim Ross on The Ross Report about the upcoming All In event, which takes place on September 1st in Chicago, Illinois. Highlights are below:
On concerns about All matches In potentially having all the same spots: “I’ve always been very vocal about that and I do think there is a bit of an issue with that in my generation overall. Certainly that’s a leadership thing. I would say two things to that. From what I’ve seen at Ring of Honor, Cody [Rhodes] very much takes on that leadership role as best he can and treads that line very carefully because obviously you can earn yourself heat very quick, if you’re not careful in that way; but, he does it the right way, in my opinion.”
On Joey Mercury being backstage at the event: “Hopefully this might set your mind at ease. I think I’m ok to say this and if I’m not, sorry guys. I know that Joey Mercury is gonna be backstage and that to me is a brilliant move. I’ve worked with Joey and am friends with him and I think he’s a brilliant guy and obviously we know that he had some personal issues; but, I can tell you he’s working through it. He’s working hard and I really believe there’s very few people available in that spot that are as valuable as Joey.”
