Update on Austin to TNA, New Year’s Eve with the Knockouts

December 13, 2009

PWTorch.com has clarified the rumors of Steve Austin possibly working for TNA by noting that Austin is still under contract with WWE. Therefore, he cannot work for TNA at this point even if he wanted to. A few years back, SpikeTV wanted to feature Austin in some sort of a non-wrestling TV project considering he would fit well on their current line-up of programming, however, WWE countered Spike’s attempt at landing Austin by offering him a big money deal not to work for them. The deal also allows WWE to continue selling Austin’s merchandise.

Devin Cutting is reporting that the 12/31 four hour edition of TNA Impact will be a Knockout’s special. The first 2 hour show airing at 7pm EST is called New Year’s Knockout Eve Part 1, and the second 2 hour show airing from 9pm to 11pm is being called New Year’s Knockout Eve Part 2.

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.
