Each week on n8itude.com I will scrub the dirtsheets, twitter and all over the net for the latest interesting tidbits in ye old rasslin “universe”. WWE, TNA and whoever else is relevant to me right now.
Quickie notes: Next Week is “WWE Week” on USA. Monday - Raw featuring the Slammy Awards. Tuesday - Live Commerical Free Smackdown. Wednesday - Tribute To the Troops. Thursday - Big Show on Burn Notice *yawn*. Friday - CM Punks hosts a Dwayne Johnson movie .. *double yawn* I’ll wait for the clips with Punk witty subtle disses towards the Rock to inevitably come online.
TNA had it’s Final Resolution PPV and it was … ok. I rate it a big … meh. Bully Ray vs Austin Aries was the match of the night with Aries taking awesome bumps, and Bully Ray doing a bunch of innovative stuff (for him) including a double front faced missile dropkick from the top rope, that had Austin bouncing all the way across the ring, ala Mr. 316’s stunners to the Rock year ago.
Don’t look for either Macho Man or Sting in next years HOF class, as both have been cut off the list. Vince is never going to backtrack and induct the entire Poffo family and the TNA lawsuit makes mentioning Sting in WWE a no-no.
Above: Raven is the new Commish for Hardcore RoadTrip one of three Hardcore (ECW-lite) promotions he’s involved in. RoadTrip is making it’s way to London Ont. in January … I might just be there.
Below: Velvet Sky made her return to TNA on Impact, here are some backstage comments direct from her Impact return. Why? Because it’s Velvet Sky, idiot.
Just some full-length tribute shows to these fallen “Superstars”. I wanted to add Benoit too but apparently even YouTube has erased this show from existence!
Owen Hart:
Wrestling with Rosenberg: Daniel Bryan
HOT 97’s resident rasslin’ nerd sat down with #GoatFace 1 on 1.
My sit down with one of the best pro wrestlers of the last decade. We discuss his early days in wrestling, his influences, how much he does not meet Vince’s traditional standards, and so much more.

When dude debuted on NXT/Nexus I knew he was going to be a star. I wanted him to win NXT. He is that diamond in the rough, he has “it”.
I’m excited for the next generation of WWE. Seriously.
The Rotunda bros, Dean Ambrose, Kings of Wrestling, Damien Sandow and possibly Alex Shelley?
Push Tyson Kidd & The Usos and Reks/Hawks and gawdamn I wanna watch THAT.
I’ve decide to make my own PPV lineup of some of my favorite wrestling moments and matches at wrestlings biggest and rare events. Any where any time period.
10 Card Lineup with various segments. It may or may not become a weekly thing.
The card is subject to my current desire to watch in full-length and availability on YouTube.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to Sunnnnday Night Scrrraaammmmbllle.
WWE Hall of Famer Edge getting ready to throw out the first pitch at a Toronto Blue Jays game.

Little too late to be jobbing to the famous hot chick from the 90s.
I wonder what Melina had to say.
Occupy Delusion Town: Pop 1.
Apparently The Dean thinks this non-existent moment elicited a response from 20, 000 people. While in truth not one person knew or gave a damn.
Only us wrestling nerds knew about it, because a huge wrestling nerd pointed it out and the cut and paste army that is the IWC sheeped it to all of us other wrestling nerds.
Shane and the height of your relevance … you were irrelevant to Vince and the entire history of pro wrestling.
If Jim Cornette wasn’t involved in ROH would he be trying to resurrect Smoky Mountain… with the same old ass talent.
You want ECW to live? How about get NEW YOUNG guys involved. Nobody wants to see old barely moveable broke desperate shadows of their former selves blading in a bingo hall’s lobby.
