Former WWE Tag Champion Announces His Return To The Company

September 30, 2008

PWInsider.com is reporting that Joey Mercury is again making claims that will be returning to WWE by the year’s end. At an independent show for the IWS promotion in Montreal on Saturday night, he came out in his “MNM” outfit with his old theme music playing. Before his match with Kevin Steen, he said in a promo that he’ll be back in WWE at the 2009 Royal Rumble. He also teased going to be back in WWE by the end of the year at a Maryland Championship Wrestling show last month. The word going around in WWE is that he’s not scheduled to return to the company. He is simply doing this to create buzz for himself. Mercury was released from his WWE contract on March 26, 2007 due to issues with drugs.

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.
