Michael Cole Furthers Backstage Inside Joke on Smackdown?

December 10, 2011

During the 4/19/10 episode of Monday Night Raw, Triple H reportedly aired the backstage joke when he said the following to Lilian Garcia during a segment with CM Punk: “Even Lilian Garcia. If Lilian wants to come back here for one night to the WWE just to horse around, she can do it.”

In what might have been either a coincidence or a furthering of that inside joke, (which a year and a half ago we were told Lilian was unaware of) Michael Cole made reference to Garcia and Hornswoggle horsing around in the ring. For those who missed it, during the Hornswoggle segment on Smackdown last night, Cole said “I wish these two would stop horsing around.”

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.
