僕の若手時代、日本に参戦してきたロード・スティーブン・リーガルのレスリング技術に魅せられ試合前の合同練習後にいつも頭を下げ教えを請いにいった僕。そんな僕に嫌な顔ひとつせず指導くれたリーガル先生。そんなリーガル先生が昨日の後楽園に観戦に来てくれた。20年以上振りの再会に感極まった。 pic.twitter.com/lOa01YMqF0

Ric Flair Says He Almost Ran For Governor

Governor Nature Boy? According to Mr. Stylin’ and Profilin’ himself it almost happened, and now Ric Flair is telling TMZ Sports what he saw that made him change his mind about getting into politics … FOREVER:

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.
