Here NWA champion Nick Aldis talks about the RetroMania video game: "It's very flattering. It feels like a lifetime ago now that Mike and the team at Retrosoft reached out. Right from the first conversation I was thrilled when they described the concept. I totally understood why they were approaching me, and smartly on their part they got me on board first, then helped leverage that to a wider deal with the NWA, a license deal with them for the set, and the brand, and the Ten Pounds of Gold mode. It's been a blast. We are a start-up organization. We totally appreciate and want to help the growth of other ambitious start-ups who are approaching things in a different way. So with Retromania... the concept and the way they were going about it... they were focusing on a niche, but they were approaching their marketing in a fun way. I felt like they had a really good degree of self-awareness and authenticity, and I thought that it aligned perfectly with the message that we were trying to get across in the branding and marketing of the NWA. The whole process has been great."

For what it's worth Jay White's profile is no longer on the New Japan website, but that could all be storyline. We have no word he's signed with anyone else.
