During a recent interview with Metro, NWA World Champion Nick Aldis promoted NWA’s new deal with Virgin Media which will see Back For The Attack PPV airing in the United Kingdom.
The event will broadcast this Sunday at 8 PM via Virgin TiVo, V6 and Virgin TV 360 devices.
“All NWA pay-per-views going forward will also be available on that platform. Obviously that’s a great get for us, we’re very excited about that. Any time you can associate with a brand like Virgin Media, for a company of our stature, we’ve been in operation for three and a bit years – that’s a great win for us. We just hope that it means we can encourage a few more UK fans to give her a go and check out what we have to offer. The main thing that I really wanna convey to anyone who’s gonna read this – if you are one of the millions of fans around the world who have fallen out of love with wrestling because the industry just doesn’t quite hit the notes that you remember it hitting, you might find that the NWA hits those notes.”
“I’ve always tried to instil a culture that the British fans can’t feel like the come second. Let’s face it, for a long time it was pretty obvious that that’s the case. The UK was the second best market, but it was by a long way and they were always treated as such.”
“I think some of that started to change with TNA, I think TNA deserve a lot of credit for that. They had such a strong following and because of the efforts of people – not just me, but people like Jeremy Borash and others who were very keenly aware of how much the UK wrestling market was set to explode, really pushed that agenda of ‘If we treat these guys like equals, they’re not gonna be satisfied anymore in a global market with table scraps. They want their own main course.'”
