Top WWE Star Says He’s 2-3 Years Away From Retirement

January 28, 2010

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that during an interview with Esto, a Mexican newspaper, WWE star Rey Mysterio said that he is about 2-3 years away from retirement. He added, however, that his retirement decision will hinge on how well his reconstructive knee surgery goes which he is having in April.

When asked who might replace him as the top Mexican star in the company, Mysterio said that guys like Dos Caras, Jr, Super Nova and Incognito are all very talented guys who are currently in WWE’s developmental program.

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.
