Jim Ross Calls Raw Match, Update on Alex Riley’s WWE Status

March 14, 2011

Several readers have sent in word that at the WWE Raw house show event held in Oklahoma City this past weekend, Jim Ross was the ring announcer for the Randy Orton vs The Miz WWE Title match.

It’s also being said that Alex Riley wrestled a match against John Morrison at the Oklahoma show, and the stipulation was that if Riley won then he’d earn his spot back on Raw. He lost the match, so it appears that he’s still "fired," even though it had been previously reported that The Miz had re-hired him.

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.
