The Scoop

Posted: Nov 18th 2014 By: Oklafan Staff

NEWS
WWE?s Scooby-Doo sequel is confirmed for spring 2016 and will feature Hulk Hogan with other WWE Superstars. Dusty Rhodes is also rumored to be animated for the movie.

The Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes Rivals show on the WWE Network is good, although the idea that their 1986 Great American Bash match couldn't be followed and that was the reason Jim Crockett Promotions went out of business is completely false. They did great business well after that match. The cost of TV time and dwindling attendance more than a year later hastened the demise.

WWE cameras filmed Jerry Lawler as he sang with Tom Nunnery at the Blue Note Bar and Grill on Beale Street in Memphis, TN. This might have been for the Lawler project that WWE has been working on, which could be a DVD or a WWE Network special.

The Blu-Ray bonus disc on the 1966-68 complete "Batman" TV series collection includes the 1976 clip from Memphis TV with Adam West as Batman having a confrontation with "Super King" Jerry Lawler in a classic clip from that era.

WWE.com recently interviewed Beth Phoenix, who currently lives in Asheville, NC with her husband, WWE Hall of Famer Edge, and their baby. When asked about a possible return, she said ?Hey, I would say there?s always a chance. Never say never. I can?t tell you what tomorrow brings, let alone next year. But I?m physically capable and it?s always possible.? To read the entire story, click here.

While Hulk Hogan may be training for an in-ring return at WrestleMania 31, the decision will largely depend on whether or not Hogan can pass a physical. This applies to everyone over the age of around 45 that is under consideration for the big event, including Sting. WWE has had strict physicals for older talents ever since Jerry Lawler?s heart attack on RAW, which is why Hogan?s physical activity has been very limited so far.

Mick Foley noted that his November 23rd show in Brooklyn, NY is not being taped for the WWE Network. It had been reported as such, and that was the plan, but plans change. He's still supposed to have one of his shows taped.

Larry Gallagher of ThisIsFamous.com recently spoke with Mick Foley and it was revealed that WWE Network will be airing a Foley project soon. Foley said ?Well you know what? There was a last minute brokering and it appears like the show will be done instead for the WWE Network. Yeah it is awesome. I guess I kind of jumped the gun with the post. It really was like an 11th hour agreement where we both realized we were better off doing this thing together.? You can read the entire interview by clicking here.

Dallas Page and Mick Foley were hanging out at The Accountability Crib in Atlanta, GA this past weekend. Foley did a DDP Yoga session while he was in the house. DDP and Jake Roberts later joined Foley on stage at his one-man show in Atlanta.

Mick Foley did a DDP Yoga session at The Accountability Crib in Atlanta this past weekend. Diamond Dallas Page posted a comment and photo on Twitter "I made a custom workout for my brother, @realmickfoley He did awesome! Keep on him guys to keep him accountable!!!!"

Jake ?The Snake? Roberts talked about beating cancer for a second time while on stage with Dallas Page at Mick Foley?s one-man show in Atlanta, GA this past weekend. During the Q&A, Jake said he would face Bray Wyatt if he could have one more match with anyone in this era. DDP named Randy Orton, and Foley named CM Punk.

E! Thursday night did a feature on Jonny Fairplay on "True Hollywood Story: Life After Reality 2". It included shots of him doing the movie "Toxic Tutu" which Doc Young is producing and Jake Roberts is also in.

Keith Elliot Greenberg of BleacherReport.com wrote a story entitled "Kevin Nash, Diamond Dallas Page, More Reminisce on Sting's Career as a WCW Icon" which you can read by clicking here.

Knoxville County in Tennessee recognized Sunday as Jim Cornette Day. Knoxville County Mayor Tim Burchett made the announcement at a TV taping of Southeastern Championship Wrestling on channel 43. SECW Wrestling posted on Twitter "Special presentation today as Mayor @timburchett declares @TheJimCornette Day in Knox Co. Congrats JC! #RT".

Oklafan congratulates Danny Powers on his recent engagement to his fiancee Beth.

Oklafan extends condolences to Ray Martinez on the passing of his aunt Palmira.
