WWE Set to Run Vignettes Promoting a New Smackdown Debut

December 12, 2008

PWinsider.com is reporting that WWE will begin running vignettes in the near future promoting the debut of Hade Vansen on the Smackdown brand. Vansen has been training down in developmental and will reportedly be working a masked character that will be similar to the “Fallen Angel” character that Christopher Daniels works in TNA. It’s unclear how long WWE has been wanting to move Vansen up to the main roster as he’s been out of action for most of 2008 with a knee injury. Vansen signed his developmental deal with WWE back in May of 2007.

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.
