Exclusive: Behind The Scenes of the Jericho Injury Angle

February 20, 2012

CM Punk There appears to be a lot of last minute changes going on, even more so than usual, with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon's plans for WrestleMania storylines. The entire Chris Jericho "injury" angle was a last minute change from original plans for WrestleMania, which involved CM Punk and Jericho battling all the way to Mania with the hopes of one proving to everyone he was The Best in the World.

Instead, WWE went with this new direction, which remains unclear, involving the Jericho injury angle. The writing staff is, according to several key insiders in WWE, under more than the usual WrestleMania season levels of stress because of the constant changes not only in the short term direction (which has happened for years), but now even to the storylines arcs regarding the biggest show of the year. "We had a clear cut direction," one key WWE insider told us, "but as Vince says, nothing is ever etched in stone."

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.
