Shimmer Star Gets WWE Tryout in Japan

Squared Circle Sirens is reporting that SHIMMER and SHINE star Nikki Storm had a tryout with WWE while the company was on tour in Japan. Storm happened to also be on tour in Japan at the same time, which is why the tryout took place there.

Storm, who had a tryout with WWE once before when the company was on tour in the United Kingdom, was said to have impressed WWE officials during her Japan tryout.

Former WWE Star Sends “Character” Video to WWE

Former WWE star Cliff Compton has sent the following character video to WWE:

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.
