Springsteen Writes Song For Rourke, WWE Names at UFC PPV

November 17, 2008

“The Boss,” Bruce Springsteen, will soon be releasing a new album entitled “Dreams,” which will feature a track called “The Wrestler.” The song was written for the Darren Aronofsky film of the same name, and will reportedly play over the film’s ending credits. Springsteen has been a longtime fan of Mickey Rourke’s work, and has expressed interest in the past of writing something specifically for him. He’s now had his opportunity with this new track.

Several MMA websites, including Sherdog.com, are reporting that Shane McMahon was in attendance for the UFC 91 PPV this past Saturday night. It’s also being reported that both Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker were in attendance as well.

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.
