WMania Special Preempted in NYC

Several readers have sent in word that this Saturday's WWE Wrestlemania 27 special, which airs on NBC, has been preempted in the NYC market due to New York Giants preseason football. The special will air on 8/14 at 1pm EST instead.

JR on Raw Announce Team

In a new interview conducted for Alex Marvez of ScrippsNews.com, WWE announcer Jim Ross had the following to say about the company's decision to run a 3 man announce team on Raw: "Any three-man team is all about timing and chemistry. All the guys have to have their egos in check. They have to share the load and the storytelling. We're starting to smooth things out a bit. Once everybody gets comfortable with whatever role they're there to fulfill, it will really start to come together."

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.
