Shoots Down Asuka – NXT Takeover Rumors

As noted, there were rumors that WWE initially wanted women other than Mickie James, possibly Trish Stratus, to face Asuka for the NXT Women’s Title at Takeover Toronto, but Stratus was unable to compete at the event. During today’s NXT Takeover media call, Triple H shot down rumors that WWE did not initially want Mickie James:

You can listen to Nash’s comments in question from The Kevin Gill Show this past Monday in the embedded audio player below:

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.
