Exclusive: More Details On Road Dogg’s New Role With WWE

October 22, 2011

Brian "Road Dogg" James officially starts as an agent/producer with the WWE this weekend, in time for tomorrow's Vengeance pay per view. While recent reports of James' signing have not indicated one way or the other, WrestleZone.com has learned that the initial agreement between the two parties is not a long-term deal. Rather, WWE offered and James agreed to a six-week trial period that will allow WWE time to determine whether Brian should be a permanent agent going forward or not.

The sources we spoke to expect WWE to sign James to a longer contract by the end of the six weeks, but as it stands right now, James is not working under a long-term agreement with the company.

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.
