Matt Burns, better known by his ring name Nick Mondo is a retired American professional wrestler. Mondo is best known for his appearances with Combat Zone Wrestling. He retired in 2003 after suffering several injuries during his career, the last of which was a severely punctured back which he got during his match against John Zandig at Tournament of Death 2, which he was wrestling with an already broken hand. He was known throughout his career for his willingness to take extremely dangerous bumps, such as being hit with a weed wacker, getting slammed off of 40 ft onto lightubes and concrete, and among other potentially deadly spots.
In addition to his ring work, Nick has been featured as a playable character in Backyard Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood along with Zandig. [1]. He is now a Blockbuster sales clerk. He's also studying to become a director and has an upcoming movie that will debut in the very near future.
