The Future of WWE SD!, First Raw of 2012 Announced

The Future of WWE SD!

WWE.com is featuring a new article taking a look at the Smackdown brand, in anticipation of the "Super Smackdown" special which will air live next Tuesday night. While the article of course is a story line piece as it's posted on WWE.com, several sources have noted that internally WWE is looking at this Tuesday night special as a test for a possible new SD! time slot, depending on how well it performs.

The following is an excerpt from the WWE article:

"Even though Raw stands firm as the longest running episodic show on cable television, SmackDown's edgy, often-controversial action has run the table on the latter part of the week for more than a decade – first on Thursdays, then on Fridays. With all it has accomplished, Teddy Long knows as much as anyone that there is no limit to where the show can go."

First Raw of 2012 Announced

Thanks to Eric Cortes for sending this in: WWE announced at last night's Raw live event that the first episode of Monday Night Raw in 2012 will take place at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. The taping will take place on January 2nd.

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.
