James Storm’s Promo
One Redneck Step Up

There’s something real about James Storm.

His promo on Impact this past Thursday was very good and it positioned him well as he heads into tonight’s pay per view against Kurt Angle. Having Angle to work with certainly doesn’t hurt, but credit has to be given to Storm right now for delivering so well.

When Storm gets personal and brings up his gut-wrenching past, it allows fans to connect. It works. Add to the fact that Storm is a “TNA homegrown” talent and has been there since the beginning, it’s easy to understand why he’s so over.

I was worried that when Beer Money split, it wouldn’t be long for Storm to wind up lost in the shuffle again. I believe I may have been wrong. And I’m perfectly okay with that.

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.
