After a way too lengthy hiatus, the wrestling drive returns to look at all things WWE with the big news that Smackdown Live appears to be moving to Fox! Check out the wrestling drive below as we talk about all the speculation surrounding WWE’s apparent move back to network television
At This point you probably know about the Wrestling Drive, my daily wrestling car vlog looking at the biggest news stories in pro wrestling as they happen as well as reaction vlogs to the biggest shows in the world professional wrestling. Well, this week I decided to take that same concept and extend that out to football. Introducing the Football Drive! Each week I’m going to bring you 2 different NFL Football Car Vlogs looking at both top picks against the spread as well as NFL Survivor/ Knockout Pool advice. I’d love to get you feedback on both pieces and so I’m going to attach both pieces right here!
First up take a look at my top NFL Picks Against The Spread, looking at my top 6 picks against the spread. I was 5-2 against the spread to start the season last week so we are off and running
Next take a look at my picks for NFL Survivor/ Knockout Pools for Week 2. I give you two obvious choices, your smartest “Big Picture” choice of the week and 3 games to stay away from this week!
Check out the videos here and be sure to hit subscribe so that you get these videos as soon as they upload to the site!
Thanks and enjoy Week 2!

I’ve done my best to denote all of the different free events taking place throughout the week including some meet and greets. My suggestion would be that if you’re going to attend any of the free events, arrive early! Free events are few and far between so you know people with be out in droves for these.
I’d also like to point out that I did not include ring Of Honor. They’re having a very big pay per view tomorrow night that should be great. You can check out Death Before Dishonor 14 live from Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow night at 9:00PM EST and also on pay per view. For more information, check them out right here http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/jay-lethal-defend-world-title-against-adam-cole-dbd
It’s the premier edition of Travel Tuesdays here on thedailyspotlight.com and the official daily spotlight youtube page. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Weekends, Tommy On The spot will present another video from his expansive library of travel videos that he’s taken over the last 3 years or so. Whether it be a local restaurant here in New York or a trip around the world, you never know where TOTS (and Eri) will end up next. Make sure to subscribe to the daily spotlight youtube page so that you can get these videos, along with the wrestling drive vlog delivered to your email address as soon as they are uploaded.
This video took place just last Friday, August 12th, 2016 and spotlights Long Island City. After finishing up a great meal at Shi, Eri and Tom take a walk on the boardwalk and take in the New York Skyline right before sundown. There’s not much like a Summer evening in LIC. Check it out and let us know what you think!
I return today for the second episode of the Wrestling Drive and this time we’re looking at the conclusion of Shinsuke Nakamura vs Finn Balor and what this could be for Finn Balor moving forward. Be sure to be on the lookout for my money guarantee to the spotlight faithful. Then I looks back on last night’s Espys and the job that John Cena did hosting the event. Finally I give my thoughts on the Wrestlemania match that may come out of it involving the Big Show and Shaquille O’Neal.
