Who Is The Anonymous Raw GM???
Featured Nugget: Who Is The Anonymous Raw GM???
Inspired by some of the search keywords that have led traffic to the Wrestling Nuggets blog i'm gonna write a little something, throwing out a few possible identities of the mysterious General Manager of Monday Night Raw.
Not much is known for certain about the individual running the show, other than the fact that he or she is a fast typer and that Michael Cole has probably e-mailed indecent photos of himself back to them, or maybe not, he's probably saving all those pics for the Miz.
As a tease to the audience the general manager has ended e-mails with former superstars catchphrases, Stone Cold's "And that's the bottome line..." has been used as has D-Generation X's "if you're not down with that, i've got 2 words for ya..." While this in no way guarantees the identify be that of Steve Austin or a member of DX i kinda wish they teased lines like that every week using different superstars famous lines. "Oh Yeah!" "Whatcha Gonna Do!"
One thing said by the GM which very possibly may be of no significance and never heard about again, was the GM mentioned in an e-mail that "they never liked Bret Hart". Even though this could quite easily turn out to be a red herring i used it as part of the criteria for some of the potential people on my shortlist.
Another aspect of the anonymous GM is a heel like nature and not pandering to the babyfaces. I think if the WWE had wanted to unveil the GM as some huge returning babyface one day then they would have curbed the annoying e-mail alert sound and distracting flickering of the lights.
These antics might suggest that whoever is the GM, doesn't care about being well liked. This heelish side also fits in with the way that the GM has favored The Nexus somewhat in decisions and stipulations over the last few months, maybe the GM is also the mastermind behind the Nexus, and when they are unveiled so to will "the bigger picture" Wade Barrett once mentioned was the Nexus' goal.
The biggest opponents of the anonymous GM, so far, have been: Chris Jericho & Edge. Is that a coincidence or is there a unmentioned history with these superstars and the GM.
I may be giving the WWE too much credit by thinking the whole angle of mysterious general manager has been thought out and having clues to the GM's identity being dropped along the way. Then again, it could just all be meaningless and WWE might not have even decided on who they want to play the role yet.
One thing i like about the whole storyline is that if or when the WWE do reveal the person behind all these e-mails they haven't restricted themselves to using someone who has been under contract the whole time.
The anonymity could be used if they resign former talent or even bring in someone new and just say it was them all along.
Okay lets get onto the list:

There's no two ways about it, Ari Gold, the slick talking super agent from HBO's Entourage would make a great character in professional wrestling.
I gotta warn you if you keep reading this post it does contain some videos that feature Ari Gold's signature profanity and vulgarity, if you've got little 'uns around might be a good time to 'earmuff' them.

Check out this weeks top 10 ranking of wrestlers thanks to Wrestlespective.com and down bottom, check out my ballot for this weeks voting along with my take on the top 10 pound for pound fighters in MMA at the moment.
This weeks 'Power Poll':
10) Big Show (2) a big fall for the giant, if you didn;t catch his movies 'Knucklehead' in theaters don't worry it'll be hitting dvd stores real soon. Spoiler Alert: It sucks.
9) Dolph Ziggler (NR) A new entry on the list. He has his great matches with Daniel Bryan to thank for that and not his lovely lady friend Vickie Guerrero.
8) Jeff Hardy (8) He's still on the list even though he hasn't done anything since becoming TNA champion. Aw well.
7) The Miz (5) Team Raw didn't win at Bragging Rights but he's still the Miz and therefore still AWESOME!
6) Edge (4) He drops down but i don't know why, won the Bragging Rights trophy for Smackdown and is on a big time roll since returning to the blue brand.

Featured Nugget: Best. Survivor Series. Ever! - Dream Matches
With WWE's Survivor Series 2010 just a few weeks away and the main event already announced for the event, it got me thinking about what else might end up on the card...
A potential Survivor Series 2010 card may look like:
These possible match ups got me thinking about dream matches that could be made, using any WWF/WWE superstars since the Survivor Series began. I limited myself to picking only wrestlers who have worked in the WWF/WWE and tried to limit each wrestler to 1 match each (apart from with the ultimate 'Good Guys' vs. Bad Guys' at the end. I've tried to give each team a name as well, like they used to have in the good old days but unfortunately my team names aren't as cool as the classics.
That's enough talk about that, here's my matches:

As well as trying to guess her first wrestling winner at the WWE Survivor Series.

Lizard's Licking Likelihoods - Fight Predictions
Featured Nugget - PPV Predictions & Results - Bragging Rights & UFC 121 Lesnar vs. Velasquez
so today i was all set to get yet another glimpse into the future by having my pet Bearded Dragon predict the winner of an upcoming match up.
But when i told her, i wanted her to pick the winner of the Undertaker vs. Kane World Heavyweight Title Buried Alive match she lost all interest. Obviously, she's sick of the never ending feud between the 'Brothers of Destruction' and couldn't care less about who wins at 'Bragging Rights' this Sunday. Not even the temptation of live crickets or a frozen mouse would have her decide.
So instead of Lizzy Steamboat's amazing predictions i'm gonna go ahead and post my own thoughts on whats gonna go down in what is a busy weekend of fighting...

The Future of Wrestling...Part 1
Nugget Commentary: The Future Of Wrestling - Tomorrows Superstars Today! Part 1
If you read certain websites and blogs you'll think that the WWE is days away from going out of business, tv ratings are down, buy rates are in the toilet and the product sucks. Well that's what some people think and that's what some people will always think. The truth is UFC ppv numbers are bigger, but WWE tv ratings crush UFCs. WWE gets tv money merchandise, live shows and huge international tours. On the other hand, some wrestling companies should worry, not only about MMA stealing their potential income but about a lack of profits all together. In particular, TNA should worry more. TNA needs to sort itself out and figure a new business model, maybe it should get away from so many ppv's and try to get more tv money for monthly specials instead. Also it could run more events in the UK and Australia, areas where its popular, can attract a big crowds and sell alot of merchandise, plus air those shows for free to the USA. A move to Wednesday or Tuesday may also be better for it's TV ratings. One other thing people always talk about are a promotions top talent.
The current top level superstars may seem stale to fans, but the WWE is trying to produce new contenders and superstars and sure, its been better with some than others, but alot of potential is there.
This post is meant to highlight the cream of the crop of the the up and coming talent i think there is in WWE & TNA. And just for the heck of it i'll even talk about a few of my favorites MMA fighters. First up, Part 1 the WWE...
