Backstage News on Aron Rex’s New TNA Gimmick

As noted, TNA star Aron Rex debuted a new “Liberace-esque” character at this week’s TNA TV tapings, and Rockstar Spud will play Rex’s “manservant”, dressed in a servant outfit complete with a valet hat.

Rex’s character is similar to a character he pitched to WWE several times during his run in the company as Damien Sandow, and it was never used. You can check out photos of Rex’s new TNA gimmick at this link.

Top Knockout Undergoes Back Surgery

TNA Knockout Gail Kim recently underwent back surgery, and it was referenced on last night’s One Night Only PPV that the recovery process is taking longer than expected.

Names Backstage at TNA Tapings

In addition to Jeff Jarrett, his wife Karen Jarrett and Sgt. Chris Melendez were both backstage at this week’s TNA TV tapings.

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.
