Ed’s Perspective: Lita Is A Great Choice

image

I want to dedicate this post to my good friends and fellow DTRT Wrestling News contributors Trevor and Vanessa – who both have loved Lita and her abilities for many years.

When I think of the name Lita, one simple thing comes to mind – Professional Wrestler. Notice what I didn’t say. I didn’t say women’s wrestler; I didn’t say Diva, and I didn’t say sports entertainer.

Lita was just a flat out professional wrestler. Man or woman she could hold her own with anyone in the ring, and she epitomizes what Hall of Fame members should be – a total professional.

Check out this tribute that was posted here on our site:

You can also see Vanessa’s reaction to the announcement here:

And finally the WWE official announcement video here:
LITA TO BE INDUCTED INTO WWE HALL OF FAME

The 2014 Hall of Fame inductions have turned in to a huge winner for the WWE. As great as The Ultimate Warrior and Jake “The Snake” Roberts were, there couldn’t be a better choice than Lita.

I started off with what came to mind when I think of Lita, and I’m gonna finish with the other thing that comes to mind. Class act!

Coverage changes

He guys. It pains me to report this but at the moment my phone is at 53% and my charger is no longer working. I may be getting a new one in the next couple of days but if I don’t once my phone dies I will be MIA meaning I won’t be able to do live tweeting during Raw or live coverage during UFC170. I’m truly sorry guys. I wanted to give you all a heads up. Hopefully I’ll get a charger soon and I will be able to do the coverage. Thanks guys.

Best Lita tribute on YouTube

This tribute video was made when Lita first left the WWE. Nearly 9 years later and it’s still my favorite. Admittedly every time I watch it I tear up a little. Enjoy

This news is a little late but I figure better late then never. Tonight on CMT a show called tattoo titans will air. It’s a completion tattoo show, and one of the judges is none other then 2014 hall of fame inductee “Lita”
The show will start at 8PM PST/ 10PM OR 11PM EST depending if you’re 3 or two hours ahead of west cost time.

So who will be tuning in tonight? I for one am stoked because not only am I fan of tattoos but I mean come on I get to see Amy Dumas on my tv again

Update On Sting Signing With WWE

sting1-1766278

According to Wrestling Observer Newsletter the reason Sting has not signed a deal yet with WWE is because WWE is dragging their feet. WWE officials are in no hurry to get Sting signed for a match at WrestleMania XXX, but word is that Sting was hoping for a match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX.

Sting lives in the Dallas area & he is willing to work out a match in private at Taker’s gym, over & over to get it right, which is what Taker’s opponents have done for the past several years. That is a big reason the matches have gone over so well. There is some concern that if Brock Lesnar gets the match against Taker at WrestleMania XXX, Lesnar may not be willing to spend the several extra days working with Taker to get the entire match worked out because of he makes big money for a limited amount of work & only has a certain amount of dates on his contract.

Phil Brooks vs Paul Levesque The Forgotten Shoot Promo

Since CM Punk walked out on the WWE many people feel a large part of the reason was due to Triple H and CM Punk legitimately not liking each other. This reminded me of this shoot promo where at one point punk said this wasn’t about Triple H it was about “Phil Brooks vs Paul Levesque”. How much of this promo was real feelings?

Pre-Raw Live Feed Features Announcers Mocking Fans Monday Night

A video clip released from a live feed to USA Network features Micheal Cole, JBL and Jerry Lawler mocking a CM Punk chant by fans before Raw went on the air this week. The feed which is used to test video and audio before a live broadcast is sent to the network and also used for the promo that airs ten minutes before Raw during NCIS.

Interestingly enough this clip was recorded and even sent out over the WWE app. Rumor is that was done by orders of Triple H.

Here’s the video

Here’s exclusive footage of Daniel Bryan showing my girls some love last night which will air Friday night on Smackdown. I really hope they don’t edit this out.

Big thank you to Layzie “the savage” for allowing me to share the videos on our site.
