Breaking: Independent Wrestler Trent Acid Passes Away

June 18, 2010

WrestleZone received the following email earlier today:

"My name is Brandon tolle, and I am a Independent Referee out of Cincinnati, and work for companies like HWA, and Ring Of Honor (Jr. Official). I received some rather disheartening news just a few moment from Roxxie Cotton, a female Independent wrestler out of New Jersey.

Trent Acid was found dead in his home this morning around 9AM. His mother walked into his room to find him passed away. I do not have any other news than that. His partner Johnny Cashmere from CZW posted a small myspace blog today with the same new, and he doesnt have any further information as well. I wanted to pass this along and get the word out."

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.
