According to The Wrestling Observer, TNA has informed talents that another set of Impact Wrestling tapings will take place at Universal Studios from Thursday, August 11th through Sunday, August 14th but those dates have yet to be confirmed. The next set of confirmed TV taping dates are July 12th through July 14th with a semi-live episode on Tuesday the 12th.

In an update on current TNA talent re-signings, the new contracts signed by Abyss, Rosemary, Rockstar Spud, Al Snow, Trevor Lee, DJ Zema Ion and Chelsea Green are all exclusive deals. This means TNA will be handling any outside bookings that the talents might work.

The most recent set of tapings ended without top stars Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Drew Galloway and EC3 signing new TNA contracts. All four talents are still under contract, however, so there’s no issue with them signing elsewhere between tapings, but they remain under old deals and TNA was hoping to lock them down to new deals at the end of the last set of tapings.

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.
