Injury Report From Armageddon, JBL/HBK Storyline Inspiration

December 14, 2008

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that the JBL/Shawn Michaels storyline was inspired by “The Wrestler,” where the angle will see HBK playing a role similar to Mickey Rourke’s character where he is an aging star who is having retirement and financial issues.

Although no injuries have been confirmed by WWE at this time, it appears as if both Rey Mysterio and CM Punk were injured the hard way during their #1 contenders match tonight at Armageddon. Punk was bleeding from the upper part of his nose following the bout, and Mysterio could potentially have a broken nose as he was bleeding profusely as a result of Punk’s GTS finisher.

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.
