Exclusive Spoiler: 3 Rumored Surprise Royal Rumble Names

January 27, 2012

According to several backstage sources, WZ has learned that WWE currently has plans to feature “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Road Dogg Jesse James, and Road Warrior Animal as three surprise entrants in this year’s Royal Rumble match.

We previously reported that Duggan canceled an appearance at a GCW event this Sunday, which fueled speculation that he would be making an appearance at the Rumble.

We were also told that Road Dogg is expected to be amongst the final 10 entrants in the match. Of course plans can always change – and they appear to have since we were last told WWE did not intend to feature many outside/surprise names this year – but as of this writing the above names are likely for the Rumble match on Sunday.

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.
