Update on El Generico's WWE NXT Gimmick

While many fans were relieved to see El Generico make his WWE NXT debut under the El Generico ring name and gimmick, The Wrestling Observer is reporting that there's no guarantee Generico will continue to use that gimmick if/when he's called up to the main roster.

WWE typically likes to own the names of its superstars, and generally doesn't allow its talent to bring in established names/gimmicks, so Generico could very well get a name/gimmick change at some point.

Jerry Lawler Wants to Return to the Ring

During a recent interview with WMC-TV, in which he discusses his recovery from a hear attack, Jerry "The King" Lawler had the following to say concerning a potential return to the ring:

"The one thing I've not done since the heart attack is get back into the ring and wrestle. And, Lauryn says that I've been, the one thing that's different about me since the heart attack, she says, 'You're depressed. You're going through depression.' Which I don't feel it. I don't think it. But, yeah, I certainly do miss the wrestling and I do want to go back and do it some more."

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.
