>Billy went on Busted Open Radio and officially stripped Nick of his opportunity, granting the match to Tyrus instead.
>"The good news is the growth of the NWA and the Resurgence of the NWA in the modern era, is bringing pressure inside the locker room. Everybody is jousting for position, as they should be,” Billy said. "But in the case of Nick Aldis, yes, number one contender for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Trevor Murdoch in St. Louis, I've dealt with this man for over four years and for every ounce of politicking that you see publicly, there's about ten times worse behind the scenes. No one stresses me out more in the NWA than Nick Aldis . No one is more highly paid than Nick Aldis, and no one is more unhappy than Nick Aldis. So yes, Nick Aldis won a tournament, the Race to the Chase, to become the number one contender… I mean, I'm 55 years old. I've got two little kids, I've got a musical life, this kind of junk, I just can't take it anymore. So, I'm here to break some news. He has been stripped of the number one contendership and will not be in the main event at NWA 74.”
