According to PWInsider.com, WWE has released NXT star Hugo Knox, real name Stuart Tomlinson. The report added the parting of ways between the two sides was described as “mutually agreed upon decision.”
Tomlinson is a former soccer goalkeeper from the UK, who signed with WWE back in December 2013. He wrestled his first match in NXT in November of 2014, and his most recent one last month at a live event in Fort Pierce on August 13th, where he was defeated by Wesley Blake.
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.
