3/7 WWE SD! Viewership

How Do Wrestling Locker Rooms Police Themselves?

Jim Ross' latest FOX Sports blog examines how pro wrestling locker rooms police themselves when a domestic issue arises. The following is a blog excerpt, which also contains quotes from Steve Austin:

It was 1974 when I broke into the showbiz world of pro wrestling, and I entered my first locker room in that business.

It wasn't what I expected. I was expecting "Animal House," but that's not what I experienced.

Some men were actually reading hard-cover books, some played cribbage or dominoes, others napped and some were having casual conversations. These small groups of men were in a season-less business and spent more than 300 days a year together on the road, while occupying small locker rooms with few amenities.

Footage of WWE at SXSW

The following is video footage of WWE's presence at the South By Southwest Festival over the weekend:

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.
