Austin Aries Comments on Hogan Leaving TNA

During a recent interview with Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier, TNA star Austin Aries had the following to say regarding Hulk Hogan's possible departure from TNA:

"Hogan is doing whatever's good for Hogan … just like he's done his whole career and just like he should continue to do. And if that means staying with TNA, great. If that means going to some other venture, then I wish him all the luck."

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.
