Report: How “Lay-Cool” Was Created & Its TNA Comparison

June 13, 2010

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE creative is very happy with team "Lay-Cool" which consists of Layla El and Michelle McCool. It’s being said that a few people within WWE were upset at the fact that TNA was able to create The Beautiful People and make WWE’s women’s division look weak in comparison. However, that attitude has apparently changed as the feeling now is the creation of Lay-Cool is now better and more popular than The Beautiful People are in TNA. It should also be noted that on a recent Smackdown taping, a promo was shot where Layla and McCool mentioned how they ran Mickie James out of the WWE, but a decision was made later by Vince McMahon to pull it because he didn’t want James’ name to be mentioned on the air anymore.

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.
