Rey Mysterio Mask Worn to World Cup, New WWE Trademark

June 15, 2010

Several readers have sent in word that during a World Cup soccer game on ESPN, a fan was spotted wearing a WWE star Rey Mysterio mask.

PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE recently trademarked the name "The Network." Speculation was that the name could either be hinting at the faction name for the NXT season 1 group, or it could be the name of WWE’s rumored, upcoming Network. The description seems to imply the latter. It reads, "Entertainment services, namely wrestling exhibitions and performances by professional wrestlers and entertainers; providing wrestling news and information via the internet."

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.
