TOP TEN: Career Highlights of Booker T

6. Booker T Becomes King Booker in WWE

Upon winning the King of the Ring tournament in 2006, Booker T changed his ring name to King Booker. Under this name, he went on to form “King Booker’s Court”, which included Queen Sharmell, William Regal, and Finlay. Over time, King Booker began to act as if he were a real king of “The SmackDown! Kingdom”, including mannerisms and appearance of a typical English-style king, with the members of his court being real citizens of England and Ireland. His new persona included wearing a crown and speaking in a fake British accent, thus referring to himself as “Book-ah.”

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.
