Backstage Reaction to CM Punk's "Pipebomb" on Raw

According to PWInsider.com, CM Punk's latest "pipebomb," which took place on Raw this week, was the hot topic backstage at the Smackdown tapings this week. Most were in agreement that Punk was spot on with his semi-shoot comments during the promo.

Which NXT Star is Likely to Get Called Up Next?

According to The Wrestling Observer, NXT star Richie Steamboat, son of WWE Hall of Famer Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, is seen as the next developmental superstar likely to be called up to the main roster. There is also talk, and it will probably be questionable by many, of changing Steamboat's name if/when he does get called up.

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.
