Backstage News on Why Lawler is Being Moved to SD!

According to F4WOnline.com, WWE has been wanting to pull Jerry Lawler from the Raw announce team “for a long time,” which explains why he is being moved to the Smackdown announce team when the show moves to Thursday nights.

“They wanted to get rid of Lawler on Raw for a long time, but after the heart attack, they figured they couldn’t,” stated Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer on the F4WOnline.com message board Thursday night in a thread about the announce team changes. “This relaunch of Smackdown gave them the chance.”

Jack Swagger Reaches a WWE TV Milestone

John Finnegan of the North American Wrestling Rankings blog, which has been keeping track of wrestlers’ records and ranking them since November of 2006, noted that Jack Swagger earned his 100th televised singles victory when he defeated Titus O’Neil on this week’s episode of WWE Superstars.

Jack Swagger is only the 14th wrestler to get to 100 televised victories since November 2006. He joins CM Punk, John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Kane, Jeff Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Big Show, Mark Henry, Alberto Del Rio, The Miz, Dolph Zigler and Daniel Bryan. He is also only the fourth wrestler to record 100 televised wins and 100 televised losses in that period, joining Dolph Ziggler, The Miz and Kofi Kingston.

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.
