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 (CZW). He was known throughout his career for his willingness to take extremely dangerous bumps, such as being hit with a weed wacker, getting thrown into a table covered with barbwire, slammed from a distance of 40 feet onto lightubes and concrete and other potentially deadly spots. He was recently added to CZW's Hall of Fame.

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, a match in where he was already wrestling with 3 broken bones in his right wrist.

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 also is studying film making and has an upcoming movie, Fighting the Still Life, that will debut in the very near future.[citation needed] The film will star Nick himself and WWE Superstar Mr. Kennedy. Trailer: [2]
