lucha underground news According to The Wrestling Observer, Lucha Underground will hold another round of TV tapings on January 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles. There is talk of the company then holding TV tapings every other weekend until April of this year.

With regards to new talent being brought in for future tapings, Lucha Underground is said to be in talks with quite a few familiar names. As we reported last week, The Young Bucks revealed on Twitter they received an “insulting” offer from Lucha Underground which they turned down, and while Lucha officials were not happy with the Tweet, they are still working to strike a deal with The Bucks.

Other names negotiating with Lucha Underground include former TNA Knockout Sarita, aka Sarah Stock, and Guam Olympic wrestler Jeff Cobb, who attended a WWE tryout camp last year.

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.
