TOP TEN: Best Wrestlers Never To Win a Major World Title

November 3, 2009

5. “Ravishing” Rick Rude

Side Note: For those of you who might email me claiming that Rick Rude has won the WCW Title, it should be noted that he never actually won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, but rather The NWA Championship, which later withdrew from WCW, and the company was forced to change the title’s name to The WCW International World Heavyweight Championship. But that title did not last long, nor was it the actual WCW World Heavyweight Championship which was held by Ron Simmons at the time.

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.
