Updated List Of Royal Rumble Match Participants: 26 Names

January 29, 2010

Unless it’s simply a mistake, WWE.com has removed Santino Marella and The Hurricane’s names from the list of wrestlers competing in the royal rumble match this Sunday night. While It is coincidental that Gregory Helms was arrested around the time his name was removed from those participating in the match, there has been no confirmation that either wrestler has officially been removed from the bout or if they’re being punished.

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.
