The Rock to Begin Shooting GI Joe, Update on Sabin’s Surgery

July 16, 2011

Dwayne PWInsider.com is reporting that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will begin shooting the role of Roadblock for the upcoming "G.I. Joe" sequel, "G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes" next month in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Chris Sabin’s reconstructive knee surgery will sideline him from the ring for many months. In what is said to be a major, complex surgery, Sabin had his ACL completely replaced. He did, however, appear at last Sunday’s TNA Destination X PPV to congratulate his tag team partner Alex Shelley.

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.
