January 11, 2016

As noted, Randy Orton responded to a fan on Instagram last week and denied reports of him needing neck surgery.

According to F4WOnline.com, Orton met with doctors sometime in the last week and was informed he would not be needing neck surgery at this time, but he is still rehabbing a shoulder injury which initially sidelined him.

As for Orton’s WWE ring return, the updated word is that he is not a lock for WrestleMania 32 on April 3rd, but WWE officials are hoping to have him back in the ring sometime between mid-March and May.

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.
