Corey Graves’ Big Announcement Revealed
As noted, WWE announcer Corey Graves has been teasing a big announcement, and it’s been revealed that Graves will be bringing his “Stay Loud” column to the Alternative Press.
Graves appeared at this year’s AP Music Awards, and had the following to say about debuting his column for AP:
“In my life, there’s only been one thing I’ve loved as much as wrestling, and that’s music. Music has always played an essential role in the wrestling/sports entertainment world. From signaling the arrival of your favorite stars, to evoking raw, deep emotion in video packages, WWE wouldn’t be what it is today without loud music. I grew up working in record stores and reading Alternative Press, and it’s an honor for me to help bring these two worlds together in my new monthly column. Stay Loud!”

“Before Finn pumped this thing out on Twitter, someone had contacted me and said, ‘hey, the bus, our bus, stopped in Nashville right in front of the TNA office.’ I think it was a coincidence,” Taz said. “From what I hear from people I’ve talked to, not just my one buddy, somebody else at TNA [also], it actually was a coincidence!”
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.
