Update: The Very Latest on Chris Hero’s WWE Status

December 24, 2011

We reported several days ago that former Ring of Honor star Chris Hero recently had his WWE offer retracted when the results of a round of drug testing revealed high testosterone levels.

The Wrestling Observer is now reporting that while the contract offer to Hero was indeed rescinded by WWE, he remains on the company's radar and is waiting to clear up his recent medical testing issue.

It's being said that Hero has another round of medical tests coming up in January, and if all goes well, he will likely be signed by WWE. The last round of medical tests, which showed the high levels of testosterone, were conducted back in September of this year.

Chris Hero appeared on last night's Ring of Honor "Final Battle" card, taking on former ROH Champion Roderick Strong.

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.
