WWE Finalizes Purchase of Mid-South Wrestling Library

The Miami Herald is reporting that WWE has finalized a deal with Ene Watts, the ex-wife of "Cowboy" Bill Watts, to secure an estimated 1,200 hours of Mid-South Pro Wrestling video footage. Ene Watts won the rights to the footage in a divorce settlement years ago. Below is an excerpt from the Herald report, which includes the following quote from Jim Ross:

"Seeing a young Ted DiBiase, Ric Flair as the traveling NWA champion, guys like the Junkyard Dog and Butch Reed who was a great antagonist and a great protagonist — probably under-rated, by and large — and there were so many guys who came through there like the Steiner Brothers and Magnum T.A."

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.
