WWE Looking To Acquire More Wrestling Tape Libraries

WWE seems to be in the market to acquire more wrestling tape libraries, as they issued a survey asking fans if they would be interested in seeing any of these promotions added to the WWE Network:

-Stampede Wrestling (Calgary, Alberta): 1948-1989
-Grand Prix Wrestling (Montreal, Quebec): 1971-1975
-Border City Wrestling (Windsor, Ontario): 1993-Present
-ASW – All Star Wrestling (Montreal, Quebec): 1967-1975
-Northern Championship Wrestling (Montreal, Quebec): 1986 – Present
-Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling: (Moncton, New Brunswick) 1960s-1986
-NWA All Star Wrestling (Vancouver, British Columbia): 1960s-1989
-ECCW – Elite Canadian Championship Wrestling (Vancouver, BC): 1996-Present
-Maximum Pro Wrestling (Windsor and Toronto, Ontario): 2010-Present

WWE currently owns the Stampede Wrestling library with the exception of any matches featuring Bret Hart as Hart acquired the rights to those a while back.

WWE would have to license that footage from Bret if they wanted to use it.

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.
