Backstage News on Original Plans for Chris Jericho & Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania

According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE originally planned on having Chris Jericho face Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32. The idea would have seen Jericho turn on Ambrose at some point, playing off Jericho walking out on him and Reigns at Night of Champions 2015.

News on Shinsuke Nakamura’s NXT Finisher & Ring Name

In related news, original match plans for Brock Lesnar vs Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania 32 called for The Wyatt Family to interfere setting up a possible Lesnar vs Wyatt match down the line, but that idea was scrapped in favor of the Wyatts working with The Rock and John Cena.

As seen at WWE NXT Takeover Dallas, Shinsuke Nakamura used the Bomaye to defeat Sami Zayn, and The Wrestling Observer notes the move is now called the Kinshasa. It’s also being reported that Nakamura is keeping his name for now in NXT, but that could change once he makes his WWE main roster debut.

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.
