From GM to Wrestler: Why Nick Aldis vs. Gunther is the Right Call for SummerSlam
It is genuinely cool to see Nick Aldis getting this spotlight. Whether or not he survives the "Ring General" in the ring, you can't take away his history—he carried the NWA (w/ Kamille) for a long time!
Nick fka Magnus was a damn good TNA World Champion, and honestly, seeing him step back into a WWE ring for the first time is a massive moment for his career.
Sometimes, you have to look at the performer's journey and appreciate that he’s getting his due, regardless of past booking, which had a lot of bad.
