wwe nxt tapings Several readers who are in attendance for the WWE NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University tonight have sent in the following notes from the show:

-WWE star Tensai, who has been doing commentary for NXT for awhile now, was announced tonight as Jason Alberts.

-The New Age Outlaws worked tonight's dark match, winning a tag team match against Tye Dillinger and Jason Jordan.

-We reported a few months ago that Solomon Crowe, formerly known on the indy scene as Sami Callihan, debuted a new hacker type gimmick in NXT, but tonight it appears as if the gimmick has been dropped as he came out for his match tonight using his previous Solomon Crowe gimmick.

You can check out a photo of the hacker gimmick he was previously using at NXT live events at this link.

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.
