#2. TNA's "Jersey Shore" Fetish

Dixie must be a HUGE fan of that show.

If not, I have no idea why TNA feels the need to exploit that show and its stars anymore. I'm not sure they have any course to run, but if they do, they've run it by now. What does TNA gain by continuing that relationship?

I understand that celebrity involvement can help get your brand in front of a new audience at times. And TNA needs all the help they can get in that department, I get it. However, that MTV well has surely run dry by now. It's time to be a bit more creative and start thinking of other avenues you can use to expand your reach.

If TNA's use of "Jersey Shore" cast members was actually helping the product in any way, shape, or form, it would be a different story. They aren't, so it's time to move on.

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.
