Apollo Crews Talks Wanting NXT Gold Before Moving the WWE Main Roster

WWE NXT star Apollo Crews was a recent guest on The Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast, and you can listen to the interview in full in the player below.

During the interview, Crews revealed that his ultimate goal in pro wrestling was to one day make it to WWE, and while he definitely has main roster aspirations, he is pleased to be in NXT and wants a run with the NXT title before he makes the jump to Raw and Smackdown. Below is a quote from Crews:

“Triple H said before, ‘no matter where we go from here, we’re going to look back on this moment and it’s probably going to be the greatest time in our life’. I don’t want to look back and be like, ‘NXT, I loved it, but it just went by so fast’. I want to enjoy every [moment]. I have goals that I set and I want to accomplish everything I can here possible. For me, it’s amazing because my tryout was a year ago. Like, day one, I said I was going to come in here and my goal is to be Champion, so for me to be in this spot is an honor.”

First Look at The Rock’s New Disney Character

The following trailer has been released, offering a first look at The Rock’s character of “Maui” in the upcoming Disney movie “Moana” coming out on November 23rd:

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.
