The Cashbox: Top 10 Wrestlers in the Business Right Now

October 27, 2011

#5. CM Punk

A great promo on Raw this week and it's obvious that all the online reports were right. John Cena will move on from the title picture (for now, at least) and CM Punk will take his place challenging Del Rio. Still, the one sour note with Punk for me is that he seems like "just another guy" again. And before you go crazy, I mean that compared ONLY to where HE was a couple of months ago. That said, he's still incredible to watch week in and week out. As the soon-to-be, new number one contender, Punk just makes the top five wrestlers this week.

#4. Alberto Del Rio

I only put him above Punk because he at least won his match at Vengeance (against Cena, no less), he now gets to work with CM Punk (BIG step up), and even simpler…he's still the WWE Champion.

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.
