Former WWE World Champion Reportedly Offered Role in Legends Segment at WrestleMania 32

April 7, 2016

According to Ryan Satin of ProWrestlingSheet.com, former WWE World Champion Batista was offered a role in the legends segment which took place at WrestleMania 32, and featured Mick Foley, Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels.

As noted, Vince McMahon and Batista met at the Royal Rumble this year, and that’s when Vince pitched the idea to Batista, which The Animal ended up turning down. Despite previous reports that Vince might have wanted Batista to special guest referee the WrestleMania 32, that was reportedly never in the works.

Batista has instead been busy filming “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” and was just announced as one of the cast members in the upcoming “Blade Runner” sequel.

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.
