Indy Star Not Likely Signing with WWE

Indy star Ricochet, who attended the WWE trout camp down at the Performance Center several weeks ago, will be challenging Dragon Gate USA Champion Johnny Gargano during WrestleMania 30 weekend. This is likely sign that Ricochet was not offered a WWE deal following the tryout, despite it being rumored that he was likely to end up signing a developmental deal.

Two Top WWE NXT Stars Injured

Top WWE NXT stars Paige and Sami Zayn are both currently dealing with injuries.

Paige has not wrestled a match in 2 months, and during this past week's WWE NXT TV tapings, Diva Emma noted that Paige is still not 100%, but details regarding the nature of her injury have yet to be revealed.

As for Sami Zayn, he was seen using crutches at the NXT tapings this week, and it seems as if he tweaked his knee at some point. NXT announced that Zayn will have a rematch against Antonio Cesaro at the live NXT special on the WWE Network on 2/27, so it appears as if he will be good enough to go by then.

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.
