October 7, 2014

As we previously reported, injured WWE star Roman Reigns appeared at Ringside Fest in NYC over the weekend. Below is interview footage from his appearance, as he talks with Noelle Foley, daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley.

During the interview, Reigns talks his current health status, his WWE debut at Survivor Series two years ago, what he has learned from relative The Rock, and more.

On his WWE debut Reigns had the following to say:

“I had so many emotions going. When you go through developmental, you’re working with guys likes Dean [Ambrose] and Seth [Rollins]. You know, it’s really exciting; a bit of a good nervous energy. It was just get through it, make it happen and just continue to move; there’s no off-season in wrestling or sports-entertainment. You just want to get that momentum like we did and just keep going.”

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.
