Backstage Update on SpikeTV Not Renewing TNA Wrestling; Was Vince Russo’s TNA Involvement an Issue?

July 27, 2014

According to F4WOnline.com, Dixie Carter seemed to give the impression to TNA Wrestling employees sometime last week that the company would be leaving SpikeTV on its own accord due to lack of promotion. However, other sources have claimed that’s not the case, and confirmed reports of SpikeTV telling TNA it would not be renewing its TV deal.

The decision reportedly came a few days after SpikeTV found out that Vince Russo was still working for TNA Wrestling in a consultant capacity, and apparently Spike has had issues with Russo in the past and made it clear to TNA they wanted nothing to do with him.

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.
