Backstage Update on Rumors of Dolph Ziggler Leaving WWE

As noted, there have been rumors that Dolph Ziggler might be looking to leave WWE when his contract expires with the company.

We also exclusively reported that the feeling in WWE is that Ziggler will re-sign with the company, but The Wrestling Observer is reporting Ziggler is at least entertaining the idea of life after WWE, when his contract expires in a few months.

Lucha Underground, TNA and New Japan Pro Wrestling are all said to be interested in Ziggler should he opt to leave WWE.

Hideo Itami Provides a Big Injury Update

For those of you who missed WWE NXT last night, Hideo Itami provided an injury update on the show and noted he will be out of action for 3-4 months.

He then said he will be at the July 4th WWE live event in Tokyo, and challenged the winner of the Finn Balor vs Kevin Owens match.

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.
