WWE Hall of Famer Announces Plans to Run for Mayor in Texas

December 10, 2016

During tonight’s edition of “Heated Conversations”, which airs on Sports Radio 610, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T announced plans to run for Mayor of Houston, Texas, according to CBS Houston.

Booker T plans to run in 2020, and had the following to say on the announcement:

“You heard it, 2020 I’m preparing. I’m preparing myself to run for mayor of the city.”

Booker revealed that he solicited advice from WWE Smackdown star Rhyno, who recently ran for a seat in the House of Representatives in Michigan. Rhyno guested on Booker’s show and had the following to say on Booker potentially being the Mayor of Houston:

“You are over qualified for the job. Wrestling not only prepares you for life but it prepares you for positions like that because you feel the emotion from the people you know what they want, you’ve built yourself from where you were to where you’re at now.”

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.
