WWE Smackdown Ladder (10/9): Who Went Up and Down?

October 10, 2009

Up a Step: CM Punk

As many of you know, I hated the way Punk was booked in his match against The Undertaker at Hell in a Cell, and I thought it did a great job of burying one of Smackdown’s top talents right now. However, creative did a good job of booking Punk to look like he still is one of the brand’s top heels on Smackdown right now by having him kick off the show with Teddy Long and demand his rematch against The Undertaker. I’m not sure how "rematch clauses" work, but isn’t Punk entitled to a one-on-one rematch against Taker? The fatal four way rematch doesn’t make much sense to me.

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.
