JR Blog: Giant Gonzalez’s Death, His Recent Visit To FCW

September 27, 2010

Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

"George [Giant Gonzalez] was a really nice guy who probably was closest to Havey Whippleman of any one in the biz. George even contacted Harvey a few years ago needing to borrow money. I am under the impression that Gonzalez bought a small farm in his home country but also cared for many of his family member’s financial needs… George will never be remembered as a great wrestler but he should be remembered as a nice, respectful man who knew his physical limitations but always tried to do his best in the ring."

"Byron Saxton had an overall, impressive week. Abe Washington was one of the stars with promo work. A Steamboat vs Colon 15 minute, FCW15 bout was really sound. I’m always excited to watch the FCW TV shows when I receive them."

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.
