More on The Rock in WWE ’12; TNA Name Rumored For Game

August 7, 2011

Several weeks ago, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson teased that he will be returning to WWE at Survivor Series this year. WZ then exclusively confirmed that The Rock will indeed be at the PPV this year, adding that a major promotional campaign will be centered around him.

In an update to this story, it appears as if one of the promotional tools will be to feature The Rock as a playable character in the upcoming WWE '12 video game. His name has been advertised heavily for pre-orders of the video game, and his character will be an updated, 2011 version of The Rock.

Additionally, The Wrestling Observer is reporting that Mick Foley might be a playable character in the game, as he has hinted at it recently. There has also been discussion of booking Foley for one final match at WrestleMania this year, but of course Foley cannot begin to work with WWE until his TNA contract expires in September.

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.
