Backstage News on Drew Gulak’s WWE Status and Why the Company Originally Wanted Him

September 27, 2016

As seen on WWE Raw last night, Drew Gulak worked a Cruiserweight match despite not originally being announced for the Cruiserweight division in WWE.

According to F4WOnline.com is remains unknown if WWE has signed Gulak to a WWE deal, but WWE officials originally wanted to hire him as a Performance Center coach. Gulak reportedly impressed many officials with his work in the WWE CWC, and although some felt he could never be a wrestler in WWE, his skills were so good that the company wanted to retain him as a coach. Given his in-ring appearance on Raw last night, however, it appears WWE might be giving him a second look as an in-ring talent.

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.
