Update on Top Indy Star Heading to WWE

As noted, top independent star Lio Rush will be working his final indy date this Saturday for MCW, as he is expected to begin training with WWE imminently.

According to PWInsider.com, Rush has likely already signed a WWE deal, but because he got his start in MCW, he wanted to add a final date with the promotion so he could properly say farewell to the company.

Preview WWE’s New “Flashback Friday” Series

Beginning tomorrow, WWE will be launching a new “Flashback Friday” series, and the first episode, along with next week’s episode, will look back at Degeneration-X. Below is a preview for the premiere episode:

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.
