Update on Rey Mysterio’s WWE Contract Negotiations

November 29, 2008

Jason Powell of Prowrestling.net is reporting that Rey Mysterio and WWE are still in somewhat of a stalemate regarding contract negotiations. Rey’s deal is set to expire in the Spring of 2009, and up until a few weeks ago it appeared that a new deal would be signed rather quickly. However, due to issues like merchandising and contract length, there appears to be a delay in what would otherwise be an immediate re-signing. WWE wants Rey to sign a 5 year deal with the company, whereas Rey only wants to sign a 3 year deal. More on this story as it unfolds.

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.
