Several readers have sent in word that former WCW and WWE star Chris Kanyon has died of an apparent overdose at the age of 40. Early reports are suggesting that it was a suicide, however that has not yet been confirmed. Kanyon was believed to have been found dead in his New York City apartment earlier this morning, with a bottle of prescription medication near him.
WrestleZone would like to offer its deepest condolences to the friends and family of Chris Kanyon at this time.
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.
