TOP TEN: Best Announcers in Pro Wrestling History

November 12, 2009

6. Bobby Heenan

Was there anything this guy couldn’t do? He was of course an established and already legendary manager in the business by the time he dawned the headset, but once “The Brain” assumed the role of announcer, he knocked it out of the park with dynamite performances on a weekly basis. Heenan is arguably one of the funniest men to ever work in the wrestling business, and his wit along with his ability to sell, with 100% believability, whatever he was calling, made him one of the greats.

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.
