More Details Behind The Delay of Chris Hero’s WWE Signing

February 9, 2012

As we had been reporting over the last several weeks, former Ring of Honor star Chris Hero's WWE signing had been delayed several times as he could not receive medical clearance from the company due to "high testosterone levels."

The Wrestling Observer is now reporting that Hero actually has naturally high levels of testosterone, and that it took many rounds of testing to prove that he was not on steriods, but that the high levels of testosterone were produced by his body naturally. WWE officials are now aware of this, and he has been medically cleared to sign 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.
