More Details on WWE Contacting Former Stars for Brand Split Returns, Several Names Revealed

June 19, 2016

As we noted last night, WWE has reportedly been in talks with several past stars about returns to the company for the WWE brand split.

Forbes is reporting Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio and Goldberg are amongst the names contacted by WWE, and on last night’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio Dave Meltzer noted that MVP, Stevie Richards and Carlito have all been contacted about potential returns.

Meltzer added he didn’t want to reveal anymore names at this time, but noted “everyone that’s available is getting at least inquiries.”

As noted, WWE is also expected to be “raiding” the NXT talent roster for the upcoming brand split.

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.
