Report: Why Alberto Del Rio Wrestled On Raw But Not At PPV

June 21, 2012

As rumors continue to circulate concerning the validity of Alberto Del Rio's concussion status, as he did wrestle a match on Raw this week, The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Del Rio did in fact suffer a concussion, but was medically cleared to wrestle by the time No Way Out came around.

The reason why he didn't wrestle as advertised at the PPV is because WWE officials had no way of knowing, at the time Del Rio was diagnosed with the concussion, that he would be cleared to compete in time for the PPV. So they made the decision to replace him in the match with Dolph Ziggler.

It's also being said that WWE is taking concussions very seriously nowadays, and decided to err on the side of caution where Del Rio is concerned.

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.
