The latest wrestling name to bail from Booker T’s Houston fan convention this weekend is Jimmy Hart. Hart, who was recently on the outs with WWE and Vince McMahon for appearing on Hulk Hogan’s CCW, has apparently been "forgiven" by the company and will now be appearing for them during this weekend’s Axxess events. Jimmy Hart joins Torrie Wilson, Tito Santana, Nick Bockwinkel and Ron Simmons as "defectors" from Booker T’s convention who are now working with WWE.

Although it was originally reported that tomorrow night’s Smackdown broadcast would be taped live, it’s now being reported that plans are for most of the show to be taped during the Axxess events which will be taking place in Houston, and the rest of the show will be pre-taped. Smackdown will be hosted by Jim Ross and Tazz (and this will be Tazz’s final appearance with WWE) and will then throw the show over to Jerry Lawler and Todd Grisham who will host the Axxess portion of the show.

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.
