The Scoop

Posted: Sep 27th 2016 By: Oklafan Staff

NEWS
There is a rumor circulating that WWE is considering putting Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, & Jack Swagger together to form a "Shooters Stable" when Benjamin returns to WWE next year.

Austin Aries, The Godfather, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Kerry Von Erich, Mojo Rawley, Papa Shango, Tye Dillinger, and Eddie Guerrero were announced as playable DLC characters for WWE 2K17.

Bill Goldberg returned to "Submission Radio" to celebrate episode 100, and to discuss some of the hot topics in the world of MMA. While discussing his thoughts on the cross-promotion between the WWE/UFC, Bill shared his thoughts on McGregor trashing the WWE Roster. “I thought the funniest thing I’ve ever seen was (Randy) Orton calling him ‘Conor McDonald’. I think that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Hey man, you have to embrace it. It’s the same crowd. One grows up and feeds into the other. You can’t tell me, and I said this before, that 75% of the guys wouldn’t die to be professional wrestlers that are fighting, and vice versa. We have a lot respect for each other, a lot of us train in martial arts and a lot of them walk around and act like they’re us. So the cross-promotion – Dana White is Vince McMahon in training. “ With his previous WWE opponent Brock Lesnar failing drug tests after his return at UFC 200, Goldberg explained why he'd still like to see him return for another fight to the UFC. “Absolutely, man (I want to see Brock fight in the UFC again). And I don’t even know what that thing is he took. I never broached anything along those subject matters with Brock. That’s his business. And like I said, what you just said is the second time I’ve ever heard of whatever that was, and the first time is when I read it. I don’t even know what the hell it does. But obviously, you know, if you’re cheating, then you should be reprimanded. Period. End of story. And do I think that he deserves an opportunity to go back? Absolutely.”

Eric E. Jenkins of TheSportster.com wrote a story entitled "8 Wrestlers Who Don’t Belong In The WWE Hall Of Fame And 8 Who Do" and coming in at #1 Should Not Be In was Bill Watts. Others on the list include Should Be In: Kamala at #14. Should Not Be In: Koko B. Ware at #13, Should Not Be In: Big Bossman at #11, and Should Be In: Jim Cornette at #2.
