Daniel Bryan Pulled from Overseas Tour

Earlier this week WWE had been advertising Daniel Bryan for the upcoming European tour in November, but as of this writing he has been pulled from all advertisements for the tour.

Conflicting Reports Regarding Ryback

Earlier today PWInsider.com reported several WWE sources believe Ryback is not actually injured, however Dave Meltzer is reporting Ryback suffered some sort of undisclosed lower body injury.

The Big Guy is not expected to miss too much time, and is expected back in the ring by the end of September.

Were WWE Talents Happy w/WM30 Payouts?

There haven’t been many complaints coming from talent over WrestleMania 30 payouts.

The expectation was with the WWE Network launching, WrestleMania bonuses would be drastically reduced, as video game royalties had previously been smaller.

In the case of talents like Steve Austin, The Rock and Hulk Hogan, they were paid a flat fee for their segment at the PPV, instead of the usual percentage-based deal top stars receive. This likely was done because they weren’t promoted ahead of time and did not work a match at the event.

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.
