Austin Does Rick Roll Video, More on WWE Official Salaries

April 28, 2011

Thanks to Dario Mendoza for sending this in:

I was just reading your article on deadline.com‘s story about Kevin Dunn’s salary. I wanted to bring the following to your attention, in case you weren’t aware. As a publicly-traded company, the WWE is required to file a proxy statement each fiscal year containing qualitative and quantitative disclosure of officer compensation, including salary, equity, and all other types of compensation (e.g., bonuses, perquisites and so on). This information is freely available to the public through the Securities and Exchange Commission website. The easiest way to find this information is to use "EDGAR", which is a search engine for SEC filings.

Below, I have linked you to the latest proxy statement of the WWE, which was filed last month. It contains compensation disclosure for the five chief WWE officers, including Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn.

Thanks to Ayanam Udoma for sending this in: Just thought I’d share this video with you of Austin doing a "rick roll" and dancing along to Rick Astley’s "Never Gonna Give You Up" if you haven’t come across it yet. It’s hilarious!

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.
