EXCLUSIVE: Big Backstage Update on CM Punk & WWE Creative

November 29, 2010

WrestleZone has learned that WWE creative has been charged with "opening things up" and "to bring the audience back to expecting the unexpected," but within the PG guidelines the company will continue to promote. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and Executive Producer Kevin Dunn are believed to be very complimentary regarding CM Punk’s commentary, both because Punk takes direction well, and has been excellent off the cuff while staying within the boundaries set by McMahon himself.

"Punk is in his honeymoon period," a WWE insider exclusively told WrestleZone this evening, "but with Striker losing brownie points, Punk has stepped into the slot as Vince’s favorite commentator."

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.
