Big Backstage Update on WWE Smackdown Possibly Going Live in 2016

October 21, 2015

While plans have yet to be set in stone, The Wrestling Observer is reporting there has been talk in WWE of having the first USA Network airing of WWE Smackdown be a live special, and there has also been talk of having Smackdown move to Tuesday nights and going live.

As it pertains to increased travel costs, Tuesday night makes the most financial sense for WWE if the company intends to air Smackdown live. Again, nothing has been set in stone yet, but WWE has been discussing major changes for the Smackdown brand once the show moves to USA in January.

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.
