Although Nick Aldis is currently the on-screen General Manager for “WWE SmackDown,” many fans won’t know that he’s also liable for producing matches behind-the-scenes. Speaking on “Keepin’ It 100” with former WCW star Konnan, Aldis listed which talent he’s essentially the most comfortable working with, and outlined how each skilled wrestler has their very own means of preparing for a match.
“Dom [Mysterio], Chad Gable, Jey [Uso], Drew [McIntyre], Bayley,” he stated. “If I’m wrestling, I really need to have all the things type of clear and free in my mind not less than a few hours before I am going out. I all the time wanted to go away some area open to ad libbing anyway, but I do not really need to be having any type of major discussions about finishes or spots and stuff a pair minutes before because I’m attempting to focus. It’s just the method, everyone’s got their very own process … some guys are very relaxed and open and a few individuals are very diligent.”
Aldis also revealed that there is one WWE star who could be frustrating to supply and is actually popular with the audience, but admitted that he still enjoys working with them because the top result’s all the time positive. Aldis’ rival General Manager on “WWE Raw,” Adam Pearce, can be a backstage producer, but has been positioned as the corporate’s Director of Live Events for the past five years.
