The Scoop

Posted: Feb 23rd 2010 By: mikeiles

NEWS
It was announced at the Supreme Pro Wrestling show in Sacramento, CA on February 21st that Adam Thornstowe was not in attendance as originally annnounced because he was on his way to Louisville, KY to Ohio Valley Wrestling for a WWE tryout.

"Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his sons Ted and Brett. "For those curios... Myself and younger brother will be inducting my father," wrote the younger Ted on his Twitter account. The "Million Dollar Man" and Antonio Inoki are the only two announced so far for this year's ceremony.

Brett DiBiase, son of "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, will eventually be a part of the WWE NXT roster according to Pro Wrestling Insider. He was not announced as one of the 1st eight rookies of NXT.

Wendi Richter was announced as the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010. She will be inducted by ?Rowdy? Roddy Piper.

Jim Ross twittered about wanting to call the Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker match at WrestleMania XXVI.

Bret Hart wrote on his Facebook page that the missing piece of the puzzle from his current program is Jim Ross calling the action. He wrote: "As far as the WWE goes, all I can say is where the heck is Jim Ross? With everything that has transpired in my three appearances on Raw, it's too bad he hasn't been there to call it. There's nobody that calls it the way Jim Ross calls it and that's the bottom line because I say so."

Bret Hart posted a message on his website playing up to last week's storyline twist. He wrote: "It was really great seeing so many of the WWE wrestlers backstage in the last couple of months. I would've loved to have spent more time with many of them. I won't be at Raw in Indianapolis but it would've been great to have gone back there another great city where I've had many great matches. One of the greatest matches of my career was against Roddy Piper at WrestleMania VIII. I can think of a lot of guys that loved wrestling there. It was a good wrestling town and it would've been nice to say ''Hi' to them after all these years. It's been hard getting around with my leg but, all things considered, the weather's been really nice and, with the Olympics on, it's worth propping your leg up and getting lost in the excitement of it all. I simply don't have anything to say about Canada's loss in Olympic hockey against the feisty Americans. Canadians fight best when their backs are pressed against the wall. I still believe! Go Canada Go!"

Mattel's first series of WWE Legends action figures will be released in August and will include Ricky Steamboat, Sgt. Slaughter, Steve Austin, Road Warrior Hawk, Road Warrior Animal, and Dusty Rhodes. The Rhodes figure will be wearing the polka dots that he wore during his WWF run from 1989 to 1991. WWE Legends 2 will be released in October and will include Terry Funk, Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, The Iron Sheik, and Jimmy Snuka.

Mae Young's appearance on Raw on February 15th marked her seventh decade as a performer in the business. She turns 87 next month.

The March 8th "TNA iMPACT!", the first show in the new Monday night timeslot will be loaded by a main event that will feature the return to the ring of two WWE Hall of Famers. In an effort to bring in some viewers from "WWE Monday Night RAW" on their first night live head-to-head, Hulk Hogan will be teaming with Abyss to take on Ric Flair & TNA World Champion A. J. Styles. This will be Hogan's and Flair's first time in the ring since their November Hulkamania Tour matches in Australia.

The new TNA commercial hyping up the return of the Monday night wars urges fans to "be there when TNA takes over Monday nights." Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, D'Angelo Dinero, Samoa Joe, A. J. Styles and other top TNA Superstars are all in this nicely-produced commercial. The spot first takes a look at the monumental January 4th "iMPACT!" when Hogan made his debut and then shifts on the March 8th Monday night show. You can see it by clicking here.

The TNA house show in Norfolk, VA on February 12th with Ric Flair drew 2,100 fans, reports the Wrestling Globe Newsletter.

Jacqueline Beems, the wife of Ric Flair was arrested Sunday night in an apparent domestic assault case. Beems was charged with misdemeanor assault, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police. Beems and Flair were married about three months ago. Beems was released from custody early Monday.

Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, LLC, which represents Ric Flair, made this statement regarding the incident: "Ric and his wife had an unfortunate disagreement late last night, which led to his wife being arrested and charged with assault. Ric has done nothing wrong. The important thing to remember here is that we have some very exciting professional announcements in the near future. Ric finds this incident unsettling and is committed to correcting any issues in his personal life."

TNA has a huge billboard in St. Louis, MO on the expressway near the Scottrade Center promoting it's Lockdown PPV with Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, A. J. Styles and Kurt Angle all pictured.

Jakks Pacific recently announced their upcoming TNA line of action figures:

-Deluxe iMPACT! series 1 (May): Jeff Jarrett, Suicide, A. J. Styles, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, and Sting
-Cross the Line two packs series 1 (May): Scott Steiner & Kevin Nash, Mick Foley & Samoa Joe, and Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm & Robert Roode)
-Deluxe IMPACT! series 2 (August): Sting, Eric Young, Raven, Hulk Hogan, Amazing Red, and Abyss

-Bash 'N Smash (October): Kevin Nash, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, & Sting
-Deluxe iMPACT! series 3 (November): Bobby Lashley, Jay Lethal, Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, Daniels, and Matt Morgan

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that comments made by Scott Steiner about Ric Flair in the past cost him, as TNA decided not to renew his deal.

Eric Bischoff is taking fan feedback and answering questions on his Facebook page. He said there is no chance of Dallas Page returning to TNA but said he spoke to Bill Goldberg recently. "The subject of TNA did not come up," he wrote. "I sincerely doubt that Bill has any interest in getting back into the wrestling business." When asked about Vince Russo and writing wrestling shows in general, he said: "I've said before that professional wrestling is a bit like a buffet. You have to have a little bit of everything because not everyone in our audience likes the exact same thing, although the most vocal minority [internet fans] would lead you to believe otherwise."

Bill Goldberg wrote the following on his Twitter page last week: "Let's get the record straight. From my lips. TNA has not contacted me. Period. No B.S."

The latest NBC teaser for Celebrity Apprentice features clips of Maria and Bill Goldberg. NBC has also launched a new website for the show at NBC.com/The-Apprentice.

There is a story about high school wrestler Colton Bigelow, son of the late Bam Bam Bigelow, talking about his life has been shaped by childhood tragedy. It talks about his father's death among over things. To read the entire story, click here.

The Ultimate Warrior has a new website in the works and wants to increase his online presence this year.

The Honky Tonk Man posted two comments on his Facebook page last Wednesday. The first one was at 5:55pm Eastern said the following:

"The Greatest WWE Intercontinental Champion of all time has signed a brand new contract with WWE & Mattel!"

He followed up that comment with the following at 6:04pm Eastern:

"In a nutshell - Jeff Jarrett contacted HTM to sign a deal with TNA. Bubba ripped into HTM and said he'd quit if HTM was signed. HTM calls Jarrett. Jarrett didn't call back. WWE picked up the ball. HTM resigns with WWE as of today."

Vader is planning to form a tag team with his son Jesse White in Japan this summer. Vader has dropped a lot of weight during the past several months having made some lifestyles changes and becoming a born-again Christian. Jesse played football with the University of Oklahoma and was touted for the NFL, but was taken out last year with a back injury. He graduates in May and spent last summer training with Harley Race at his school in Eldon, MO.

During Thursday afternoon's United States vs. Norway Olympic hockey game, a Norwegian player gave a US player the equivalent of a lariat. Play by play announcer Mike Emrick commented that it resembled a professional wrestling move. Analyst Ed Olczyk made a reference to Ox Baker while analyst Pierre McGuire mentioned Killer Kowalski.
