September 29, 2015

During a new interview with Primera Hora in Puerto Rico, WWC Universal Champion “Mr. 450” Hammett revealed he will be returning to WWE NXT at the Takeover Respect special and the subsequent NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University.

Hammett has previously worked in NXT under the ring name Jesus De Leon, and in the past year he has lost matches to Bull Dempsey, Baron Corbin, and participated in an 8 man tag match with Jesse Sorensen, Enzo and Cass and The Hype Bros.

Hammett also revealed he hopes to land a full-time deal with NXT as opposed to working sporadic events.

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.
