Sheamus Reaches WWE TV Milestone

Thanks to John Finnegan for sending in the following:

According to North American Wrestling Rankings, which started keeping track of wrestlers’ records and ranking them as of Nov. 2006, when Sheamus lost by DQ to Randy Orton on the 6/1/15 episode of Raw it was his 300th televised match as a singles wrestler, making him only the 4th wrestler [behind Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, and Kofi Kingston] to have wrestled that many televised singles matches!

The next wrestlers closing in on this milestone [as of 6/2/15] are John Cena [291 matches] and Kane [290 matches].

[NOTE: these records count t.v. and ppv singles matches since Nov. 2006 ONLY].

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.
