As for Vito Lograsso, he claims he suffers from “serious neurological damage, including severe headaches, memory loss, depression and anxiety, as well as deafness” as a result of his time competing in a WWE ring.
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.
