The Rock in Miami for Red Carpet Event

The Rock will be making his first post-WrestleMania appearance tonight at a premiere for "Pain & Gain" in South Beach, Miami at the Regal South Beach Stadium 18 theater. The red-carpet even starts at 6:30pm.

NXT Talent Says He's the First Australian Wrestler in WWE

During an interiew with The Herald Sun, WWE developmental talent Matt Silva made the following claim:

"I'll be the first Australian to compete in the WWE," Silva said. "I'm going in as a newbie, and just wait for a call up to the main roster before I start competing against those guys."

This is of course untrue, as Nathan Jones was Australian and previously competed in WWE.

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.
