Current TNA Champion Undergoes Surgery, Will Be Out of Action for 6-9 Months

February 26, 2016

According to The Wrestling Observer, current TNA Tag Team Champion Davey Richards underwent reconstructive knee surgery last week to repair a torn ACL. Depending on how his rehab goes, Richards will likely be out of action anywhere from 6-9 months, putting his TNA return at August-November.

Richards noted on Twitter that he “hobbled” to math class the day after surgery and aced a test, and he hopes to begin rehab very soon. Richards recently signed a guaranteed deal with TNA so there is no pressure for him to return early from surgery.

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.
