Report: WWE Kept Rock’s Return a Big Secret, Details

February 20, 2011

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that WWE went to very great lengths to keep Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson’s return to WWE a secret.

It’s being said that internally, WWE was telling people that Justin Bieber would be announced as the guest host of WrestleMania, in an effort to swerve everyone. In fact, the title of the script for Raw this past Monday was reportedly "Leave it to Bieber," which was yet another attempt to make sure The Rock’s return was not spoiled.

As we saw via Facebook, however, The Rock himself did not go out of his way to keep his return a secret as he teased his return online.

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.
