Exclusive: What Caused Rey Mysterio’s 60 Day Suspension

April 29, 2012

After speaking with several WWE sources, WZ has learned this evening that Rey Mysterio tested positive for amphetamines, which resulted in his second Wellness Policy violation and a subsequent 60 day suspension.

We were told that Mysterio denied taking any kind of drugs that would result in a positive test result/suspension should he have to be tested, but in the end Rey could not produce a prescription for the amphetamines and was therefore notified that he would have to serve a 60 day suspension.

No word at this time as to whether or not Mysterio will still travel to Japan, as previously planned, for the promotional tour in May.

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.
