Update on Why Shawn Michaels is Appearing on Raw Next Week

As seen on Raw tonight, WWE officially announced Shawn Michaels will be appearing on next week’s Raw from New Orleans. WWE also teased “rumors” of The Undertaker appearing, which all but confirms The Dead Man will be returning. In the graphic shown for HBK tonight, the cover of his upcoming WWE Studios movie “The Resurrection of Gavin Stone” was included. The movie will be released on January 20th, so HBK’s Raw appearance will in some part be to promote the film.

Why Was Tonight’s Raw Crowd Chanting “Hogan”?

As seen on Raw tonight, the live crowd in Tampa was audibly chanting “Hogan” at points during the show, and it was because of a notable fan in attendance, reports PWInsider.com. The fan, famously known in the Tampa area as “The Tye Dyed Guy”, was seated on camera at one point in the show, but WWE moved him to underneath the hard camera side of the arena so he would no longer be visible on TV. This prompted the “Hogan” chants from the crowd.

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.
