ESPN Reports That Andrew “Test” Martin Had Brain Damage

December 9, 2009

ESPN.com has posted a report noting that former WWE and TNA star Andrew "Test" Martin suffered brain damage similar to that of Chris Benoit. The report concerns itself with concussions in pro sports, but targets WWE quite heavily as pro wrestlers take chair shots to the head and suffer other forms of head traumas through the use of "weapons."

The article also included quotes from former WWE Diva Dawn Marie. Dawn was quoted as saying, "Oh, my God. I wonder what’s going on inside my brain right now. I’m so shaken up."

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.
