WWE To Begin Shooting a Sitcom Starring Santino Marella

January 26, 2010

InsideTV.aol.com is reporting that WWE will begin shooting a new sitcom project which is going to star Santino Marella. The company plans to shoot the first three episodes of the show in 2 weeks, then take it from there. Santino Marella was quoted as saying the following in the AOL interview: "In two weeks, we’re filming the first three episodes," Santino said. "It will air at first on the dot com, then after that we will get it to a network television."

It appears that USA Network VP Chris McCumber is not aware of WWE’s plans, however, as he said "I’m not aware of it. I need to see it. He’s quite a comedic character, so no doubt he will have a good sitcom."

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.
