Why WWE Rushed the Network to Canada

As we have been reporting since the WWE Network launch took place in Canada, many subscribers in the country have been upset with the lack of Video OnDemand content and the overall presentation of the Network.

WWE and Rogers Communication made the decision to include a small amount of Video OnDemand content to the Network launch in Canada, but the entire process was rushed so WWE could try to increase Network subscriber numbers before the end of the year.

“Shocked Undertaker Fan” Working with WWE?

WWE has posted the following on Twitter, teasing that “Shocked Undertaker Fan” Ellis Mbeh could be working with the company soon:

Update on Devitt’s NXT Ring Name

It looks as if WWE will be allowing Prince Devitt to wrestle under his real first name, Fergal, in NXT.

This of course could change if and when Devitt is called to the main roster, as WWE typically likes to own the rights to talent names.

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.
