So let us hop aboard the awards bandwagon and prepare for the first ever, Wrestling Nuggets' Chicken Dinner Year End Awards....

(As most of my viewing has been of the WWE & TNA's shows this year, those are where the majority of nominations come from. So if you're a big fan of indies? Sorry, tis my awards though, and i'll give 'em to who i want!!!)

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...

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...

Power Poll

Featured Nugget: Wrestlespective's Power Poll (10/27/10)

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.

Random Wrestler Of The Day

Featured Nugget - Random Wrestler Of The Day #1


Here we go with another new feature on Wrestling Nuggets: 'Random Wrestler Of The Day'! This feature is pretty much just what the title says, a look at a random wrestler that i think is deserving of being profiled.
The very first wrestler to be featured is one of my favorite ECW originals and a popular former WWF/WWE superstar: 'The Japanese Buzz Saw' Yoshihiro Tajiri.

The Best Of... #badwrestlingnames

Featured Nugget - The Best Of...#badwrestlingnames


Oh, that old Twitter website. What a wonderful time waster it can turn out to be, especially with its, mostly, pointless Trending Topics. Usually the TT's are full of stupid and embarrassing things but every once in a while someone makes up a hashtag that can only be described as genius. 
The latest Twitter trend to tickle me was #badwrestlingnames. 
I tried to come up with a few of my own:

Andre The Average Height Guy,  'Sexual Infection' Mark Henry,  HBK The Heart Burn Kid  and   

Buff Bags-Groceries-Well...

but i just couldn't match the quality coming from other Tweeters around the world. 
So, here are my top 10 (or however many i wanna add) favorite #badwrestlingnames...
