Rob Van Dam Wrestling, Dale Gagne Health Update, More

August 14, 2008

SLAM! Wrestling is reporting that Rob Van Dam will be wrestling Kendo Kashin tomorrow night in Japan for the IGF promotion.

The latest edition of the National Enquirer has a cover story on celebrity plastic surgery noting former WWE Diva Chyna’s extensive facial surgery over the years. The article also notes Brooke Hogan’s recent breast augmentation.

It was reported earlier in the week that AWA promoter Dale Gagne had suffered a heart attack. That report appears to be false as Gagne has posted a thank you at AWAstars.com clarifying his condition. It appears that he had some kind of bacterial infection that mimicked the symptoms of a heart attack. He is reportedly in good condition at this point.

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.
