JR Blog: Lesnar’s WWE Future, Cole’s Work, Broadcast Partners

May 5, 2012

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has posted a new blog over at JRsBarBQ.com. Below are some highlights:

Lesnar and WWE may be a marriage made in Hell but it's a relationship that I, as a fan, want to follow. When we signed Brock back in the day we knew that he was going to be a handful and he was. However, athletic freaks like him don't grow on trees and, like many coaches, etc, we put in the time necessary to keep Brock headed in the right direction as best that we could. He's stubborn, antisocial, uber talented, and volatile. Time will tell where Lesnar's latest foray into WWE life takes him but as for me, I'm staying tuned.

I've been impressed with Michael Cole's more balanced commentary recently. He's the new voice of WWE without question. Our handshake at WM28 ended any personal issues that I may have had with him. End of story.

Besides the King, my favorite broadcast partner, when looking at antagonists, is @HeymanHustle [Paul Heyman]. He knew what buttons to push to get me to raise my game. I never played the role of an announcer and was always just myself, for better or for worse. Being real.

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.
