The Scoop

Posted: Jun 15th 2010 By: mikeiles

NEWS
The first "WWE Friday Night SmackDown!" on SyFy on October 1st will be airing live from the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, OK. WWE originally scheduled a house show in July in the same place however due to a scheduling conflict they had to make changes. Superstars from both brands will be at this live SmackDown television tapings as the show airs on cable television for the first time since it made its debut in 1999. SmackDown will resume to its usual Tuesday TV tapings the following week and airings will continue in its usual time slot on Fridays.

Ted DiBiase's (Million Dollar Man) neck surgery last Monday went great and he was due to fly out to France last Friday for a personal appearance.

Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Greg Valentine, Val Venis, Raven, Snitsky, Lilian Garcia, Bushwhacker Luke, Tara, and Virgil were at the Philadelphia Comic Con over the weekend. Ted DiBiase, Sr. was also advertised but not there. He had neck surgery last week

Ricky Steamboat started in developmental for a stint as a trainer this past week. WWE is still searching for another trainer to join the team. Dennis Condrey of Midnight Express fame was brought in for a tryout in March but things didn't work out.

Su Young, an early 20s Asian-American wrestler was offered a WWE developmental deal. She was trained in Memphis by Bill Dundee and Kevin White after moving there from Seattle a few years ago.

This past Sunday afternoon, TNA launched their new JAKKS action figures at a press conference from the Doubletree Hotel in Orlando, FL. JAKKS signed on to do the TNA figures soon after they lost their license for WWE toys a couple of years ago. The Deluxe iMPACT! Series 1 action figures were unveiled at this live press conference and were available for purchase. Sting, A. J. Styles, Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Suicide, and Jeff Jarrett were there to sign the toys and all figures are limited.

When ordering Slammiversary on at least one Time Warner system, the description was: King of the Mountain match, the Naturals vs. Team Canada, Christopher Daniels vs. Michael Shane vs. Chris Sabin, Lance Hoyt vs Bobby Roode, Ron Killings vs. The Outlaw, and America's Most Wanted vs. B.G. James & Konnan. Wonder where the miscommunication came for that?

TNA will be having these festivities in conjunction with the Victory Road PPV show. On Saturday night at 8pm at the Doubletree Hotel will be a private party with Ric Flair. There will also be a preshow meal and VIP seating at the PPV, a post PPV bonus match just for people getting the VIP package, plus you get a surprise gift from Don West. It's available on the TNA website.

Ric Flair did an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper. When asked about MMA and their fans, he said: "MMA doesn?t affect wrestling at all. I?m not saying wrestling fans don?t watch MMA, but it is two different audiences. My take on MMA is that those guys are phenomenal athletes and extraordinarily tough and committed but the people that are crazy about them got nothing going on themselves. I actually think most of the male public that is crazy for that are living vicariously for something they can never be. Wrestling is more entertainment-based. MMA is what it is, those guys are out there trying to kill each other. And the guys that are sitting at home going ?Wow? could never find that within themselves on the first day of their life. When Lesnar fights, I like watching Brock? and I recognize a lot of names ? you?ve got to have so much respect for what those guys put themselves through but it is a limited time frame [they?ve got]. It?s hard to develop a star in that business that?s going to have any longevity. In wrestling a guy that develops a name for himself can do it fifteen years." He also talked about what a great boss Dixie Carter was and predicted that Desmond Wolfe would be a world champion one day.

Despite what Ric Flair has said publicly during recent media interviews, Reid, his 22-year-old son, has not yet signed a TNA contract. There could be a verbal agreement, but nothing is on paper. They do want him though because they want Flair to renew. Flair signed a guaranteed money deal for around 60 appearances over 52 weeks back in January. Reid was an accomplished wrestler in high school. He attended Blair Academy in 2005, the top high school wrestling program in the country, but got kicked off the team for assaulting another competitor, and with it the chance of gaining a Division I scholarship. After graduation he went to the University of Tennessee but dropped out. He also didn't last very long in the WWE developmental program. Aside from the obvious of being the son of a legend he's completed some training camps with George South in Charlotte and did a couple of week's with Harley Race in Missouri. At one point last summer he was slated to start with Ring of Honor but it was around that time he was busted for a DWI and possession of heroin--that coupled with the fact Flair walked out on ROH in an attempt to return to WWE. Last year we heard several stories that Reid would no show agreed indy dates citing issues with his girlfriend, but most promoters kept this quiet out of respect to Flair. He worked his first indy show in several months last Sunday.

Ric Flair's youngest daughter Ashley got married to her long term boyfriend Riki Johnson on May 22nd. Riki was the guy who got involved in a real-life brawl with Flair a couple of years ago during which Ashley was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Flair was in attendance and shed some tears during the ceremony. A few hours later he flew out to London to promote TNA's United Kingdom tour in January. He did interviews with over 25 outlets--far more than WWE typical does when they send wrestlers for promotional tours. There is a strange story regarding one magazine interview. The reporter, who was a knowledgeable wrestling fan, asked why TNA would give A. J. Styles the Nature Boy character, when that character is an extension of the real Flair, as opposed to an extension the real A. J., who's a family-man and devout Christian. Flair didn't like that question. The reporter then asked about the people that Flair looked up to, like Wahoo McDaniel and Johnny Valentine, and what they would do in TNA if they were given characters in the same way. Flair responded that if someone would have told McDaniel what to do, he would likely have walked out. The reporter then said that it was a shame that wrestling would then have missed out on a great talent, since the writers would have inevitably saddled him with a gimmick. Flair wasn't happy about that question either, and when asked if he missed how wrestling used to be covered by the media in magazines like Pro Wrestling Illustrated, as opposed to modern day, he reacted strongly, questioned where the reporter was going with the questions, and then commented that he gets paid a lot of money for live Q&As, and that his questions were like a Q&A. The interview then ended abruptly.

Jeremy Borash during a recent radio interview told a disturbing story about Gary Coleman--the late "Diff'rent Strokes" actor who passed away last month after suffering a brain hemorrhage. Borash said he was given the task of chaperoning Coleman for a cameo at the "WCW Fall Brawl"' pay-per-view in 2000. Coleman was booked to take a guitar shot at the end of a match between Jeff Jarrett and Mike Awesome. He noted that Coleman enroute from the hotel to the arena decided he wanted to visit a toy train store and was threatening to go back to the hotel unless Borash took him to the toy store. Coleman also reportedly held the company up for an extra $2,000 and pretty much drove everyone nuts backstage with strange demands. Borash then joked that he paid off Jarrett to stiff him with the guitar shot, but quickly said the shot probably had nothing to do with Coleman's death in later life.

Tuesday night on "Hannity" they had a commercial bumper saying something to the effect of, "Coming up next, President Obama tries to become Rowdy Roddy Piper on the Today Show." They then showed a clip of Piper from "They Live" giving his famous "I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum" line. They were comparing it to Obama's "Who's ass to kick" line in regards to the BP oil spill. The visual of the bumper was hilarious because Obama was clearly uncomfortable and rehearsed in giving the line.

Both Diamond Dallas Page and Lanny Poffo are tying to get fans to vote for them to host a show that Oprah Winfrey is putting together.

Major DeBeers announced he is going to retire at the end of this year.
