CM Punk to Speak Out on ESPN, Johnny Ace Mistake on Raw

July 19, 2011

Thanks to Nick Tochelli for sending this in:

Bill Simmons announced on his podcast today that he has booked CM Punk to be on the podcast later this week. I think they are recording on Thursday. Simmons is a huge wrestling fan and has had the Miz on in the past after he won the championship from Orton, and really knew what he was talking about.

Thanks to Yusuf Baiani for sending this in:

I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but the Raw segment with Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis in the back showed Laurinaitis with a perfect, unbruised left eye. However, in the opening segment, the same eye is clearly black and bruised. Just wanted to pass that along.

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.
