WCW Special Replacing Raw Backstage Pass

WWE once again will not be airing Raw Backstage Pass on the Network after Raw tomorrow night. Instead, a special one hour Beyond the Ring special on WCW Monday Nitro will air at 11pm EST. The synopsis for the special reads as follows:

“The Very Best of Nitro showcases the groundbreaking Cruiserweight Division, celebrities and the introduction of the Nitro Girls!”

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.
