Why Randy Orton Was Pulled From House Show Main Event

August 29, 2010

PWInsider.com is reporting that Randy Orton was suffering from a sore neck and shoulder after Saturday night’s house show in Wildwood, NJ. As a result, WWE made the decision to pull him from the main event of tonight’s house show event in Newark, NJ, and wrestled in a 6 man tag match instead.

Originally, Orton was scheduled to face Sheamus for the WWE Title in a Steel Cage Match, but WWE officials instead booked him in a 6 man tag match with Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan against Nexus so that Orton wouldn’t have to work as much in the ring.

No word on how serious the injury is, and it is expected that Orton will have it checked out prior to Raw tomorrow night.

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.
