Backstage News on Rey Mysterio Possibly Debuting in Lucha Underground, Role Change for Vampiro, New Talent Debut and More

September 27, 2015

According to The Wrestling Observer, Rey Mysterio is expected to sign with Lucha Underground at some point in the near future and be used as the promotion’s top star in the second season.

Rey signing with the promotion is not yet official, and it’s very possible Lucha Underground might be saving him for a big surprise on the show, which is why both sides have been pretty quiet as of late.

In related news, it’s expected that former WWE Tough Enough contestants Matt Casaus will be getting a bigger push on season two of Lucha Underground, and after working dark matches last year former Olympian Jeff Cobb is expected to debut with the promotion.

Another change that is very possible for the show is Vampiro being moved from the announce team to managing Pentagon, Jr.

As noted, Lucha Underground co-executive producer Chris DeJoseph told WZ in an exclusive interview that Alberto El Patron will also be coming to the promotion in season two.

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.
