Career Outline: It all began in 1998. Nick Diamante was a 25 year old fan of the Pro Wrestling business who was studying Web Design and other computer-related courses in college. Nick played Football in high school and college and was generally known as a very big and physically powerful person. At the same time, his 2 best friends Vince Di Nardo and Tom Albanese were out to rock the world of Wrestling by creating the Extreme Wrestling Association.
Nick was constantly encouraged by his 2 friends to take part in the adventure soon to be known as the EWA, but passed up the offers to focus on his studies. However, that didn't last forever. Diamante eventually gave in and accepted the offer of Tom and Vince to join the EWA months later.
Tom Stone and Vince Black, as they would later be known as, negotiated a deal with Nick Diamante where he would be brought into the EWA as a character known as Commissioner Justice - a super heel with unlimited power and stroke. That deal was later struck down as Nick decided to enter the EWA as a behind-the-scenes manager.
Diamante's first piece of talent was the courageous X-Pac. X-Pac had left D-Generation X, a group managed by Vince Di Nardo. Nick built a stable of men consisting of Razor Ramon, X-Pac, James Hawk Bradshaw, Sycho Sid and the Godfather who would be known as ReVoLuTiOn~X©. Diamante and Di Nardo had a plan in the works to have their 2 monstrous groups feud for 6 months, and then merge before everyone's eyes.
Solely under Diamante's control, RX ran over the EWA with so much force and impact that everyone took notice! The acquired the EWA International, Lightweight and Tag Team titles in a matter of weeks.
At an EWA pay-per-view named "The Full Revolution" Nick's group of ReVoLuTiOn~X© was scheduled to face Vince Di Nardo's stable, D-Generation X. The 2 powerhouse groups merged together to form the largest stable in the history of the EWA! With the later additions of such stars as T-N-T and Deuce, RX had officially become half of the EWA's roster!
RX began to reek even more havoc on the EWA! Their evil ways forced the return of Team Ballz to the Extreme Wrestling Association as the 2 groups would later do battle with Team Ballz coming out on top.
The days of ReVoLuTiOn~X© began to fade. Backstage, there were many complaints that RX was too big and too powerful and that their strength-in-numbers allowed them to acquire and match or title shot they wanted, whenever they wanted. Because of this, Diamante, Di Nardo and Stone decided to pull the plug on RX with Diamante and Di Nardo leaving the EWA.
Nick Diamante and Vince Di Nardo decided to start their own wrestling company, the DEAD or ALIVE Pro Wrestling organization! They based this promotion out of Detroit, Michigan reaching some great success of their own. The D.O.A.-Pro was home to such talent as Deuce, Jack "Backstreet" Suede, "The Cornerstone" Dino Delsante, T-N-T, The Hustler, Extreme Velocity and Genocide (Vince Di Nardo under a mask).
However, the D.O.A.-Pro wasn't meant to be. It was at D.O.A.-Pro Wrestlepalooza during a challenge to TBL where "The Diamond Stud" Nick Diamante was born. Nick realized during a the challenge that he didn't want to be a manager or the owner of a wrestling group. He wanted to be a wrestling star!
Nick re-negotiated a deal with Tom Stone to join the EWA once again, this time as an in-ring athlete. His intentions were to take out Clayton Chandler who had bad-mouthed Nick and called him a sell-out at an EWA pay-per-view titled Beyond The Line '99. The EWA was taking a break for a few months, and when it was back on the go, Chandler was gone.
Nick has spent the last 10 months of his career in the EWA having become a historic figure within the company. He is best known for such incidents as the Hamric/NHBWF incident, the 3DWA and his historic feud with Chandler which culminated at EWA No Fear in an "I RESPECT YOU!" Match where he lost to Chandler.
As of the moment, Nick is retired and working behind-the-scenes of the EWA in the creative/booking department.

Comments: Being inducted into the Extreme Wrestling Association's Hall of Fame is a great honour that I take very seriously. For the better part of the last 2 years of my life the letters E-W-A have stood for many things. They've symbolized many people's passion for pro wrestling, their will to be creative and to succeed, and most importantly... to have fun doing something we all enjoy. The Extreme Wrestling Association has become something I never would have thought it would become. 2 years ago when Tom Albanese and Vince Di Nardo set out to create their own E-Fed, never would I have expected that I would be sitting at a computer 2 years later still having fun with that same E-Fed. Instead of thanking individual people, I'd like to thank everyone who was ever involved with the EWA at any point in time, because without you the EWA's history would not be the same. Together, we've done it... we've made the EWA one of the best (if not the best) E-Fed's in the history of E-Wrestling.
