WWE Officially Releases Jack Swagger

March 13, 2017

WWE has announced the following:

Jack Swagger released

WWE has come to terms on the release of Jack Swagger as of today, March 13, 2017. WWE wishes Swagger the best in all his future endeavors.

As noted, Jack Swagger’s release from WWE will carry a 90 day no-compete clause, which means he will be unable to appear for any televised promotions for a period of 90 days. Consequently, at the WAW event over the weekend, Swagger was replaced by Impact Wrestling star Chris Adonis, fka Chris Masters in WWE. Adonis won the WAW Title during the tapings, but later in the night was defeated by Alberto El Patron, who became the new WAW Champion.

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.
