Will a New GM Be Named For Smackdown?

While Vince McMahon announced that Diva AJ Lee would be the new GM of Raw, no general manager was named for Smackdown this week. Additionally, WWE.com has posted an article up questioning whether or not the show even needs a GM, so it's possible WWE will not be naming one for Smackdown.

Lawler Says Kaufman Should Be In HOF

WWE.com has posted an interview with Jerry Lawler, during which he speaks on the 30th anniversary of the legendary feud between himself and Andy Kaufman, and the following is an interview highlight:

Andy Kaufman Paving The Way For Celebrities In Wrestling:

"I really feel, in my heart of hearts, that he was responsible for that. I certainly believe that Andy Kaufman deserves a spot in the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. Without a doubt, we would not be where we are today without his involvement. I really feel that way. Even at Raw 1,000, we had Charlie Sheen challenging Daniel Bryan to a match. It’s Andy Kaufman revisited as recently as last night."

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.
