He shared his grievance earlier this month in an episode of BroDown with host Mac Davis.The former WWE head writer pointed out that he had worked with Nick Aldis back in the day. Russo stated that Aldis was very talented and should be wrestling. He added that the wrestling promotion was wasting his talent by having him do the same thing every week."Listen man, I worked with Nick Aldis. I know how freaking talented this guy is. This guy should be freaking wrestling. That alone is a joke. But look how they have Nick Aldis. He does the same thing every single week. Anybody can be in that spot. Seriously. Why is Nick Aldis in that spot? You can put anybody in that spot. He's talking to Wrestler A. Wrestler B walks in. Wrestler B challenges Wrestler A. And Nick stands there, 'Oh, that's a great idea.' Every single freaking pretape, bro," Russo said.Only time will tell if Nick Aldis gets to wrestle his first match inside the WWE ring.
