WWE Re-Hires a Released Tag Team, Fired ECW Star Speaks Out

January 10, 2009

PWInsider.com is reporting that in the wake of all the recent WWE releases, the company has actually re-hired the tag team of Jason and Johnny Riggs, who were under a developmental deal back in 2006 but were released.

We reported last night that WWE released former ECW talent Kevin Thorn, and although it hasn’t officially been announced by WWE, Thorn posted a message on his Universe blog pretty much confirming the release. He wrote, “It’s Not Goodbye!” IN addition, WWE has removed his Universe account and when you try to access his blog you get a message saying, “This site has been disabled due to violations of our Terms of Service. If you are the owner of the site you may contact technical support in order to resolve the situation.”

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.
