WMania 26 DVD Sales Low, Update on Ric Flair’s TNA Status

June 13, 2010

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE’s DVD sales for its WrestleMania 26 PPV have been low compared to recent years. After its first two weeks in stores, the DVD set has sold 24,810 units. By comparison, WrestleMania XXV sold 106,427 units within its first two weeks, while previous years were in the 150,000 to 200,000 range.

As we previously reported, Ric Flair has been running through the dates he has on his current TNA deal quite quickly. As a result, TNA is in a position right now where they’ll either have to sign him to a new deal or keep him off TV until his current deal expires. The Wrestling Observer is now reporting that because TNA has expressed interest in bringing Reid Flair into the company, that it might be easier to get Ric to sign a new deal as he will want to stick around in the same company his son is in.

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.
