Below is a quote from Coachman on the subject of the lawsuit:
“This is a very, very close topic for me. 2003 was the first time I got in the ring to train to be an in ring participant. The very first day I was in there I suffered a concussion. There’s a very good chance, I didn’t get them all evaluated, but probably between 10 and 20 concussions during my time from 2003 to 2008. The one thing I’ve always said about Vince McMahon is this – he is more loyal than any person, boss or human being I’ve met in my life, and it’s not just because he signed my paychecks for nearly a decade. I don’t like it, in fact I hate it, when a certain group of people, and this was always the case when stars would leave to go somewhere else or they’d get fired because of something stupid they did, then they would blame Vince for whatever issues they had.”
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.
