Update on King Mo's OVW Training

According to reports, King Mo Lawal is taking his pro wrestling training well in OVW and has been training with Al Snow and Nick Dinsmore (formerly Eugene in WWE). TNA stars Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe have also been giving Lawal advice during his pro wrestling training.

Last week King Mo was still getting used to running the ropes, but he's been attending beginner and advanced training classes, and has done some short matches with his selling impressing those in attendance. It's also being said Mo wants to work as a heel.

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.
