Why WWE Is No Longer Using Pyro at Events

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is no longer using pyro at live events as both a cost cutting measure, and because the company feels it no longer needs to.

Baron Corbin on Rumors of Him Helping a Child

As noted, Baron Corbin lost last night’s WWE Smackdown Live dark match main event to Shinsuke Nakamura, and there were claims made online that Mr. Money in the Bank was spotted holding a child and giving him a t-shirt after the match. This was reportedly in response to Corbin making the child cry during the match, however Corbin posted the following noting it was his family:

Update on Brock Lesnar at WWE Hawaii Event

As we noted yesterday, several readers claimed they received an email promoting the WWE Smackdown live event at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, HI on Wednesday, September 13th. The email reportedly contained a photo listing Brock Lesnar for the event, however as of now the official Facebook page of the Blaisdell Arena is not listing Lesnar:

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.
