ROH Star and Brother of WWE Star Injured During a Match

July 25, 2010

Thanks to Alan Pugh for sending in the following:

Just getting word from a friend at the Ring of Honor show that a wrestler performing in a dark match is down. Paramedics attending, show is stopped. He just arrived so he’s not sure of the details just yet.

WrestleZone can now confirm that the injured star was Mike Sydal, who is the brother of WWE star Evan Bourne. Sydal was taken to the hospital following the injury, but from what I was told he regained consciousness shortly after the injury, which was to his neck. More details to follow as they become available.

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.
