Dixie Carter Misses Impact Wrestling TV Tapings

According to PWInsider.com, former TNA President Carter was not at the last few Impact Wrestling TV tapings, after missing the previous set of tapings due to being on a two-week vacation in Africa.

As we noted last week, Carter assumed the role of Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer of IMPACT, and will focus on long-term planning, strategic partnerships and global growth.

Is Goldberg in New York City Yet?

As we noted earlier this week, Bill Goldberg is expected to be in New York City this weekend to promote WWE 2k17 during SummerSlam weekend.

Goldberg has yet to arrive in New York, however, as he made a surprise appearance today at Gamescom:

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.
