Nick’s Picks: The 2009 WWE Slammy Awards

December 10, 2009

Best Finishing Maneuver:

I’ve always been a huge fan of The Razor’s Edge, and I think it’s great that it’s been brought back by Sheamus, who uses the move well. I can’t really, however, give it my pick for the win as Sheamus just hasn’t been around long enough for it to have been the best finisher of the entire year. I realize that a finisher is a finisher, but sometimes it’s how and where the finisher comes from during a match that makes it exciting. I think in that sense, I’m going to have to go with John Morrison’s Starship Pain. That is a great looking move, and always amazes me when he pulls it off. Honorable mentions in this category go to Kingston’s Trouble in Paradise and Bourne’s Shooting Star Press.

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.
