Report: Traci Brooks NOT Appearing in Playboy Magazine

September 1, 2009

Playboy Magazine’s September 2009 Cyber Club VIP Newsletter is reporting that TNA Knockout Traci Brooks, real name Tracy Brookshaw, will not be appearing on the cover of Playboy nor will she appear in the magazine at all. Instead, Playboy has opted to feature her shoot online, and Brooks’ photos will be released for Cyber Club members.

Brooks was initially scheduled to appear in the magazine and on the cover, however, after actress Farrah Fawcett passed away in June, Playboy decided to pull Brooks from the issue and focus the entire magazine on the life of Fawcett.

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.
