Update on Eva Marie and Kane at WrestleMania 33

According to PWInsider.com, Kane is scheduled to be in Orlando for WrestleMania 33 week, despite not being on the PPV card. Absent WWE star Eva Marie is not scheduled to be in Orlando for WrestleMania week, which might indicate her standing with WWE going forward might not be firm.

As seen below, Marie continues to promote projects outside of WWE, and interestingly, she has removed any and all references to WWE on her social media accounts, which might further that a return to wrestling is not in the cards:

Excellent series of meetings today with our partners at #WME and #TheGarciaCompanies! It’s beyond motivating to work along side some of the planets greatest minds in entertainment. Ironing out the details on some very exciting future projects and partnerships! And as always, planning and innovating for the future. #WomenInBuisness #Entrepreneur #BossBabes #WME #Thegarciacompanies #womenempowerment #NEMFashion #teamworkmakesthedreamwork – @jonathan_coyle

Ricky Steamboat Talks Still Receiving Fan Mail

WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat recently spoke with Sports Illustrated to discuss inducting Rick Rude into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Below is what Steamboat had to say on continuing to receive fan mail:

“I’ve been out of the ring since ’94, so that is going on 23 years. Last November, I celebrated 41 years of being affiliated in the business. In all that time, there is one thing I never, ever forgot—and that is my fans. I get about 100–120 pieces of fan mail delivered to my house every month, and I answer every single one of them. Some people send me questionnaires asking me my favorite match and my toughest opponents. People always say thank you to me, but no, this is my thank you to people for being fans.”

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.
