WWE Names New PR President, Midway Games Making Cutbacks

December 17, 2008

WWE has named Robert Zimmerman as their new Vice President of Public Relations and Corporate Communications. Zimmerman has 17 years of public relations experience and has aided in the management of crisis situations for people like Howard Stern and Sean “P Diddy” Combs.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Midway Games has halted production on all future video games with the exception of “Wheelman” and “This is Vegas” as major staff cutbacks are in the works. Their Austin, TX studio is closing and their Chicago and San Diego affiliates will also be making cuts. Sources within TNA have confirmed, however, that the Impact 2 game is still scheduled to be released.

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.
