Stars In Progress…Jarrett Exclusive, Slammy Awards & More

The 2011 Slammy Award Show

One Annual Step Up

I look forward to the Slammy Awards edition of Raw every year. It’s a refreshing way to break the monotony and offer some fun moments. Not to mention, looking back at the previous year’s highlights and remembering exactly how we got to this point is enjoyable as well.

What I enjoy most about the year-end event are the opportunities created by giving certain superstars a simple trophy. Who can forget the late, great Owen Hart in ’97 after winning his second Slammy? It was a great role for Hart and he played it to perfection.

I don’t want to try and predict who will win the awards this year (Punk) or guess what will happen during the show (Miz will get mad he didn’t win and steal Punk’s trophy, setting up very funny home vignettes with Miz praying to and worshiping the piece of metal, positioned appropriately on the back of his toilet). Rather, I’m going to sit back and enjoy the show.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
