U.S. Tribute to Troops Confirmed, TNA Knockout Engaged

October 25, 2010

The Wrestling Globe Newsletter is reporting that WWE’s Tribute to the Troops 2010 is scheduled at the Ford Hood military base in Killeen, TX on 12/15, the first time ever the show has been taped on domestic soil. An airdate is not yet confirmed but the early word is that the show would be a one-hour special on NBC. Interestingly, UFC is looking at doing a "Fight for the Troops" show on 1/22 also at Fort Hood, which would become an annual event.

TNA Knockout Taylor Wilde, real name Shantelle Malawski, announced via Twitter that she was recently engaged to her boyfriend Oliver Mitchell.

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.
