Another Network Reportedly Interested in WWE TV Rights

While WWE continues its TV rights negotiation process, one network that is said to be interested in the rights is WGN. Besides the USA Network, which of course secured the rights to Raw, WGN was the only other legitimate bidder for the TV rights back in 2008.

The belief is that WWE TV could help WGN expand its potential audience thus giving them the ability to charge cable systems more for carriage of their channel.

Backstage News on Why Carlos Colon is Being Inducted

WWE making the decision to induct Carlos Colon into the Hall of Fame this year has to do with the launch of the WWE Network, and WWE's plans to expand the Network internationally.

WWE eventually wants to purchase the World Wrestling Council video library from Puerto Rico, and WWC is interested in selling a portion of its library, but inducting Colon into the Hall of Fame is part of the deal.

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.
