Power Poll

Featured Nugget: Power Poll - The Weekly Top 10 Ranking of Wrestlers 11/24/10

It's that time to see who was voted the top superstar of this past week in wrestling...hmmm, i wonder who it could be???
Anyone know if a new 'Era of Awesomeness' has begun???


This week's 'Power Poll' (last weeks rankings in brackets)...

The Era Of Awesomeness Has Begun!

Nugget Commentary: The Era Of Awesomeness Has Begun!

Great news! I saw a dog today!!! Wait, wait, wait, that is great news but not the best thing that happened recently...

No, the really great news is that The Miz cashed in his 'Money in the Bank' title shot on Raw and pinned Randy Orton to become the new WWE Champion.

I think that is awesome. But not quite as awesome as this...

Wrestling At The Movies!

Featured Nugget - Wrestling At The Movies #2

comparing wrestlers to movies (just because...)

With this week seeing the release of the potential Oscar nominee 'Knucklehead' featuring the Big Show what better time to bring back Wrestling Nugget's 'Wrestling At The Movies' series???
This series is not a look back at all the films produced by the WWE or featuring wrestlers, as classic as all those films turned out to be. 
Instead this is a comparison between a wrestler and a particular film or series of films. 
If you haven't seen the first entry in the series featuring Mick Foley, The Ultimate Warrior, Brock Lesnar and more, click here and go see: 'Wrestling At The Movies #1'
With that 'Upcoming Attractions' like intro out of the way here's entry #2 of...

Power Poll

Featured Nugget - Power Poll - The Weekly Top 10 Ranking Of Wrestlers - 11/10/10


Last week the World Heavyweight Champion was sitting pretty atop the league. Will Kane be able to hang on to his spot this week, or will any of TNA's stars have done enough at 'Turning Point' to earn a place in the rankings???
Maybe a certain Tea Party hosting Italian funnyman will will make a big splash in this weeks listings...

Lizard's Licking Likelihoods - UFC 122 Predictions

Featured Nugget: Lizard's Licking Likelihoods - UFC 122 Predictions

She's back! Lizzy 'The Bearded Dragon' Steamboat aka the Psychic Lizard is back to make her pick for this weekend, (Saturday November 13th), UFC 122 Main Event between Nate 'The Great''The Grape' Marquardt and Yushin Okami 'Zucchini' (she eats Grape & Zucchini you see, haha hilarious i know...)
Anyway, if you're not familiar with how the amazing Lizard makes her choice, its pretty simple:
two pieces of  food are placed in her enclosure, (each piece represents a different fighter)
The food that she chooses to eat first will be the winner! 
Easy. 
Previously 'Lizzy' took a stab at guessing the winner of the UFC 121 Main Event between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez and correctly predicted a new heavyweight champion would be crowned. Click here to see for yourself!
So with her 100% correct UFC predictions on the line, here she goes again, picking the next number one contender for the UFC Middleweight championship...

Wrestling's Top Tweeters!

Featured Nugget: Wrestling's Top Tweeters!

Since i'm a big fan of wrestling and also of the social networking site, Twitter, i wanted to find a way to combine the two. How about a list of the best wrestlers on Twitter? Boom! Great idea!
So here we have a rundown of my favorite Tweeters that also happen to be wrestling personalities before naming the very first 'Wrestling Nugget's Champion of the Tweets'! (for which if i was to ever design a title you could bet that id would be better looking than TNA's new belt!!!)
Since there are a whole bunch of wrestlers, commentators, bookers, fans on the Twitter, i'm focussing the list on those that are working for or have worked for the WWE and TNA Wrestling, so, sorry to all the indie wrestlers out there who are pretty good with 140 characters or less.


Onto the list...

Featured Nugget: Best Themes Ever! Worst Themes Ever! - The Top 10 Most Horrible Entrance Themes In Wrestling History!

Okay, so i was gonna be back with the Top 10 'Best Themes Ever' but i decided to break it up a little and throw out some of my least favorite entrance themes ever instead. 
Go take a look, hope you enjoy, or not enjoy, they are meant to be bad...

Best Themes Ever!

Featured Nugget: Best Themes Ever: The Top 25 Entrance Themes In Wrestling.

There have been few musical masterpieces coming from the wrestling world over the years but one place that song and wrestling can really combine to maximum effect is during a wrestlers entrance. The right choice of song can add something extra to a character, help create a mood or force an emotional response, music can psych you up or freak you out, tunes can become iconic. Entrance themes play a really important part in wrestling. 
I used all the above criteria when compiling my list of favorite themes, each one i felt offered that little something special...
either that or i just like the lyrics...

Here is my list of what i consider the Top 25 Entrance Themes In Wrestling...The Best Themes Ever. 
And yeah, there is more than 25 songs linked (i linked other remixes, or songs influenced by or similar to those on the list) but i don't care it's my list, deal with it, and with the amount i added i guess i shoulda just gone and made the top 50! Oh well! :)


Numbers 25 - 11
