Exclusive: More WWE Writing Team Shakeups Expected

July 10, 2011

WrestleZone has exclusively learned that there are more shakeups on the WWE writing team expected after Ed Koskey’s promotion to the lead writer of Smackdown.

Stephanie McMahon is said to be revamping the manner in which the TV shows will be pitched to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, and Koskey’s promotion was only the first in several steps.

In a related note, WrestleZone confirmed earlier this evening that although there are widespread reports that Michael Hayes has been moved into a management position, he is still very much a part of the writing team and has even been promoted a little bit to work alongside Brian Gewirtz on the "wrestling" end of the writing team hierarchy.

Hayes will still report to Stephanie McMahon.

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.
