Nicholas Massie’s Tuesday morning provided a glimpse into the struggles of superstardom.
The alarm hit 6 a.m., and Massie—still hours away from stepping into a metaphorical phone booth and transforming into the Young Bucks’ Nick Jackson—had only one thought on his mind.
He was not consumed with the story line development of “Hangman” Adam Page’s frustrations with the Elite, whether it was the right time to take the women’s title off Riho, or even the subtleties and nuances of the Cody Rhodes–MJF program. Massie’s only concern was making sure he found time to feed breakfast to his children before leaving for the airport.
