Matt Striker’s WWE Status, NXT Season 5 Theme Discussed

February 11, 2011

For those unaware, Matt Striker did provide commentary for the Smackdown matches on this week’s edition of WWE Superstars, so it appears that he is remaining a color commentator with WWE despite being replaced on Smackdown by Booker T.

F4WOnline.com is reporting that the current plan for season 5 of WWE NXT is to pair rookies with their respective Legend Fathers. With so many second generation talents in the developmental system, the idea is that the Legend Fathers would be the pros, and the rookies would be their sons.

As of now, WWE has the potential to pair teams like Richie & Ricky Steamboat, Brett & Ted DiBiase, Bo & Mike Rotundo and more.

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.
