Report: Why There Was a Delay in the WWE Signing of El Generico

February 11, 2013

According to The Wrestling Observer, the lawsuit between TNA and WWE is what caused the delay in the WWE signing of former Ring of Honor star El Generico.

As we had reported numerous times in the past, while the lawsuit was ongoing between the two companies, the policy in WWE was to wait until the lawsuit ended before any talents were signed that had previously worked for TNA. Generico had several tryout matches with TNA in the past, so WWE informed Generico back in June, when they originally wanted to sign him, that they wouldn't be able to move forward with negotiations until the lawsuit ended.

Generico reportedly began working down in WWE developmental on February 4th.

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.
