As we noted yesterday, TNA officially announced that Billy Corgan is the new President of Impact Ventures, the parent company of TNA Wrestling. Impact Ventures was created after Panda Energy stopped financing TNA, and following the divesting of Panda, Impact Ventures became its own company. The appointing of Billy Corgan as new Impact Ventures President is legitimate and is not part of a story line, reports PWInsider.com.

PWInsider is also reporting an official announcement took place in Orlando yesterday, and former President Dixie Carter, who will now serve as Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer of Impact, addressed the TNA staff and roster, and welcomed Billy Corgan to his new role. Corgan reportedly received a huge round of applause when he was announced, and spent about 10 minutes discussing strategy, hopes and plans for TNA.

Following the announcement, there was said to be a huge surge in morale backstage in TNA.

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.
