The Return of The Undertaker...and His Wig!

Well The Undertaker has come back to our TV screens just in time to build up a huge WrestleMania rematch with his old buddy Trips...
Obviously the wrestling world was pretty excited about the Deadman's most recent return but something else also seems to be drawing a great deal of attention...


Was the Dead Man wearing a wig???...

no doubt it kinda looks like it, and with all the talk of 'Taker chopping off his locks while on his hiatus from the ring last year, i just think him going and getting standard extensions is just a bit of a missed opportunity...
If i could have had anything to do with it here's a few other hair style options i woulda tried to get 'Taker to consider for his big return...

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:

Who Is The Anonymous Raw GM???

Best. Survivor Series. Ever!

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:

WWE Championship Match: 

Randy Orton vs. Wade Barrett with John Cena as Special Referee

World Championship Match: 

Kane vs. Edge

United States Championship Match: 

Daniel Bryan vs. CM Punk

Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Matches:

The Nexus (David Otunga, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater, Husky Harris & Michael McGillicutty) vs. Team WWE (???)

Team Miz (The Miz, Alex Riley, Ezekial Jackson, Alberto Del Rio...) vs. Team Mysterio (Rey Mysterio, R-Truth, John Morrison...)

Team Sheamus (Sheamus...) vs. Team Big Show (Big Show, Santino...)

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:

Shoulda Been A Superstar...

Featured Nugget: Shoulda Been A Superstar #1


Ever seen someone in another profession and thought they'd make a great wrestler?...
No, okay, well thats fine 'cause i have.
There are a bunch of celebrities, in many different fields (sports, acting, music) that possess some of the necessary qualities needed to be successful in wrestling. Whether that persons strengths lie in their personality or energy, i've picked out some that i think have what it takes to fit in with the characters and antics of professional wrestling.
So here goes with the first installment of a new feature for this blog, 'Shoulda Been A Superstar' (oh and i know some of these guys are already Superstars in their own right, but i'm using the term in the way Vince McMahon intended it...as a wrestling, whoops i mean, 'Sports Entertainment Superstar!')


The first person i say could've made a huge impact in the world of wrestling is...

Halloween Heroes!

Featured Nugget: Halloween Heroes - Great Wrestling Costume Ideas


With Halloween right around the corner what better reason can you have to dress up all awesome and go out acting the fool?! Being the big wrestling fan i am, most of my costume ideas seem to revolve around my favorite wrestlers.
At Halloween costume parties around the world you might see multiple Hulk Hogans, Ultimate Warriors, Stings & Undertakers running wild, as classic as these characters are, they've been done too many times, i wanna see more effort when choosing which wrestler to go dressed as. 

(I'm not gonna deny the brilliance of these costumes, its just that they've been done so many times...credit to you if you actually do go out rocking some yellow Speedos though!)

 While there are multiple other wrestling superstars whose characters are even more fitting of Halloween,such as The Boogeyman, Papa Shango, Kamala and even Doink the Clown, they haven't made the list either...

some more Halloweeny characters...

 (Okay, if you go as Doink AND have 3 midgets dressed as Dink, Wink & Pink then you are awesome and your costume rules!)

If you smell what the Juice is cooking!

Juventud Guerrera becomes The Juice.

Video: Hulkamania is still running wild!!!

on last nights Eastbound & Down, Kenny Powers made his debut in the Mexican baseball league and what better way to introduce himself to all his new fans then by having 'Real American' as his entrance theme??? Hilarity! :)


Video does contain some adult language though, so get them earmuffs ready if you're watching with little 'uns.


The second season of Eastbound & Down is currently on Sunday nights on HBO, it is brilliant.
