The Sun has an article on Gail Kim re-joining World Wrestling Entertainment. They wrote: “FORMER TNA Knockouts champion Gail Kim has sensationally quit the promotion” and is almost certainly heading back to the WWE. Several sources close to the situation claim Vince McMahon will re-hire his former women’s title holder to beef up the groupâs depleted female roster.” You can read the article here.
Former WWE star Damian Demento has resurfaced online. He has a page on MySpace, which you can access at www.myspace.com/dementedbydesign. As of late he’s been on a crusade to stop blading in professional wrestling. He wrote a blog saying he was going to hand out a flier at tonight’s WWE show at Madison Square Garden with the hope of bringing attention to this matter. Demento wrote: “This sick practice has to stop. It can no longer be ignored. When wrestling promoters and writers tell the public that these injuries came the “hard way” (unintentional), they’re lying! Most are blade jobs. They’re just trying to maintain an old industry secret. This has to stop being performed in front of children! It has to stop it 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.
