Exclusive: Jim Ross “100% Confirmed” For Wrestlemania

April 3, 2011

WrestleZone has learned exclusively that Good Ol’ JR, Jim Ross is "100 percent confirmed" on the script for tomorrow’s WWE Wrestlemania XXVII.

A key insider who has seen the script for the show informed us "JR’s name has been on the script since at least Thursday’s draft of the show."

Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler are not expected to be part of the announce team for the event, but both Josh Matthews and Booker T are expected to join JR in the announce position during the show.

It is not known yet if WWE Chairman Vince McMahon will elect to have JR call the entire event, or just selected main events.

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.
