On this episode of First Match we go way back to the beginning with the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis!

Nick's love of pro wrestling started as a kid growing up in the UK and he turned that love into an amazing journey that took him to training with the now internationally famous Knight family (who you may have become familiar with through WWE Superstar Paige and the movie Wrestling With My Family) to his first appearance in a battle royal and an interesting meeting with Jake "The Snake" Roberts that included blood?! Then on to his "First Match" that included a very heavy handed Saraya Knight (Paige's Mom)! Plus a TON more!

Enjoy!!!
