More Details on Luke Harper Missing WWE TV This Week

As WZ first reported on Monday night, Luke Harper did not appear on WWE Raw this week as he was out for personal reasons.

The Wrestling Observer is reporting Harper had to miss TV this week due to a family issue, and WWE was forced to replace him in the main event of Raw with a returning Erick Rowan. The main event of Raw had already been booked, and was to feature all three members of The Wyatt Family, so Harper’s absence forced WWE to book Rowan in the match instead. Rowan had been rehabbing from injury and was nearing a return to TV anyways, so WWE decided to bring him back instead of changing Raw main event plans.

NXT Announcers Ignore James Storm’s TNA Run

For those of you who missed NXT tonight, James Storm made his official TV debut, and when talking about Storm’s past the NXT announce team ignored his time in TNA, saying Storm “has spent the last 15 years or so on the independent circuit”.

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.
