Orton to Miss 1,000th Raw?

WZ contributor Bob Bamber has noted that due to his 60 day suspension, Randy Orton is likely to miss the 1,000th edition of Raw, which takes place on July 23rd, and emanates from his home town of St. Louis.

There's always a possibility that WWE could claim Orton was officially suspended earlier than today, which could then clear him for Raw on 7/23, but that would mean the suspension would have to have gone into effect as early as May 22.

Top FCW Trainer Released

PWInsider.com is reporting that Dr. Tom Prichard has been released from WWE's developmental facility, FCW. Prichard had been a top FCW trainer since the promotion was created, and had been with WWE since 2007.

Former WWE Tough Enough trainer Bill DeMott is reportedly taking over Prichard's duties in FCW, and is set to begin imminently.

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.
