The Scoop

Posted: Oct 27th 2009 By: mikeiles

NEWS
Cole Crittenden and Pete Maguire are opening the Oklahoma Pro Wrestling School in April 2010. According to their website (OklahomaProWrestling.org), the training will be conducted by Crittenden along with Susan Starr, Red Eagle, Bull Schmitt, and Treach Phillips, Jr. Registration is $50 and that also covers your first lesson. Each additional lesson is $15 each, with no contract. Classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at their new facility in Sand Springs. For more info, call their 24 hour hotline at (918) 856-9638.

In an interview with PowerSlam magazine when asked about potential break out stars, Triple H listed Jack Swagger, Sheamus, Evan Bourne, and Kofi Kingston as one's to watch. He said: "They are all moving up, but slowly, which is the right way. The closest to me is probably Sheamus, because we always train together on the road. But I try to watch all the young guys' matches and give them advice, if they want to hear it. If they take advice to heart and really want to improve, them I am wanting to help. As for seeing some of myself in someone? That's tough. Sheamus just the other day showed up at a show he didn't have to be at. He does whatever he's asked to do without complaining, he goes to every show and is always wanting to work: he does it all, goes above and beyond. That's what I was like."

Jim Ross is doing better after suffering an attack of Bell's Palsy last Monday night. He saw a neurologist on Wednesday. No word on a timetable of his return to the announce table. From speaking to someone who spoke to him personally, they said his voice sounds perfect, so from that standpoint this setback wasn't as bad as his prior two setbacks.

Roddy Piper is in negotiations to guest host an upcoming "WWE RAW".

The episode of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" with guest star Roddy Piper airs this Thursday on FX. Check local listings.

Mick Foley on his MySpace page talks about the roast for Terry Funk held on Saturday night. He talked about meeting Billy Robinson for the first time at the convention, and said it was the first time he'd been at a roast but may also be the last time, as he wasn't happy with some of the meanness involved. He said he didn't find jokes about Jim Ross' Bell's Palsy, Magnum T. A.'s paralysis, or the death of Patrick Swayze all that funny, plus felt the mean spirited nature of the jokes about Missy Hyatt ended up as overkill.
