More Backstage News on WWE Moving SummerSlam to NYC

wwe summerslam According to F4WOnline.com, there was speculation that WWE wants to move SummerSlam to the New York/New Jersey area because they want more space than the Staples Center can offer in LA, but if next year’s event does take place at either the IZOD Center or the Barclays Center, that’s not the case.

Both the IZOD Center in New Jersey and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn are about the same size as the Staples Center, with the Barclays Center actually holding less people.

Former WCW Star Wants One Last Match

As we reported last week, former WWE and WCW star Konnan is having a hip replacement on Thursday.

Konnan noted on Twitter that after he has his surgery and recovers, he plans to have one last match, most likely for Mexico’s AAA promotion for which he currently works.

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.
