Erick Rowan Talks His Recent Injury, Fitness and Diet, the Food Offered By WWE Catering, Who Does He Think is the Strongest Wrestler in WWE?

October 12, 2016

Injured WWE star Erick Rowan recently spoke with FitnessInformant.com, and below are some interview highlights:

On the food offered by WWE catering at live events:

“It’s great the company offers it. They have healthy choices and not so healthy choices, but as much as we are on the road it gets old sometimes.”

On his recent injury and subsequent training regimen:

“Some weeks are dedicated to strength, others for aesthetics. Lately I have been into rehabilitation and flexibility for warmup. The book Becoming a Supple Leopard by Dr. Kelly Starrett is a life changer. Now with my most recent surgery this will become my textbook.”

On Big E being the strongest wrestler on the WWE roster:

“Big E is a beast. I used to think I was strong but this guy has a way of humbling you. Imagine doing reps on bench with three plates on each side and you’re feeling great. Big E asks if you’re finished. You say, ‘sure, want anything off?’ He goes, ‘No leave it,’ then adds another 45 to each side for a warm-up. HUMBLED.”

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.
