WWE SD! Replay Tonight, Ziggler Speaks on His WWE Push

December 24, 2010

As a reminder, this past week’s live edition of WWE Smackdown will air tonight in its normal time slot on Syfy from 8-10pm EST.

In a recent interview conducted by Michael Machosky for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, WWE Smackdown star Dolph Ziggler had the following to say about standing out in WWE:

"There’s a million guys out there who are athletic. There’s a million 6-foot-8 guys who played football. It’s (about) being able to relate to the fans. You’re putting your life in someone else’s hands every time you step in there. You forget sometimes. You’re going to work, you’re busy and you go, ‘Wow, I have an action figure.’ It blows my mind sometimes."

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.
