Nick’s Picks: The 2009 WWE Slammy Awards

December 10, 2009

Announce Team of the Year:

It was hilarious hearing Cole and Lawler ask whether or not they might win this year on this week’s Raw broadcast, as 2009 was not much better for the non-dynamic duo than any other year has been. I think the award this year has to go to Grisham and Striker again, because even though they were separated when Grisham was moved up to hosting Smackdown, both of them have gone from calling ECW last year to now running the ship together on Friday nights. They are a strong team, put the show over well, and just flat out aren’t irritating like Lawler and Cole on Raw and Josh Matthews and what’s his name on ECW.

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.
