Off-Air Rumble Notes: Reaction to Edge, Guests Kept Out

February 1, 2010

Thanks to Van Byous for sending this in: A couple of tidbits I’d like to share with you guys from the Rumble last night. After the cameras turned off, Edge walked behind the screens, and then turned around and came back out to the ring and played with the crowd for about 5 minutes. He went side to side getting everyone to cheer and finally made his way back up the ramp and the announcer thanked us and told us they would see Atlanta again very soon. It was announced today on WWE.com that WrestleMania 27 will be held in Atlanta at the Georgia Dome.

It’s also being reported that guests who were invited to the Royal Rumble PPV were told they could not come backstage, as WWE was doing their best to keep Edge’s return in the main event a secret. Former WZ correspondent Bill Behrens, for example, noted that he was invited to the show, but was then denied entry into the backstage area.

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.
