Report: More Backstage Details on the WWE Release of Kaval

December 24, 2010

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that several higher-ups in WWE were surprised to see Kaval released from the company. It’s also being said that the general feeling is that Kaval wanted his release from WWE and it was granted. With nothing major having been done with his character and no big plans in place for Kaval’s future, the feeling seems to be that Kaval was frustrated and asked for his release. WZ reported yesterday that a source we spoke with who is close to Kaval echoed this sentiment, claiming that Kaval had indeed finished with WWE several days ago and felt that the company wasn’t the right fit for him.

It’s also being said that WWE is quicker these days to grant releases when talent asks for them as WWE feels TNA is no competition for them and doesn’t care very much if talent ends up there.

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.
