The Scoop

Posted: Jul 31st 2012 By: mikeiles

NEWS
Brian Breaker is now using the name Brandon Traven in Florida Championship Wrestling, the developmental fed for WWE in Tampa, FL.

Terry Taylor has been training intermediate students in Tampa, FL at Florida Championship Wrestling.

Ashley Fliehr Johnson, the daughter of Ric Flair, made her first official appearance for Florida Championship Wrestling at an event a few days ago according to women's wrestling website Diva-Dirt.com.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the legendary Harley Race was also backstage and not used at the "WWE Monday Night RAW 1000" in St. Louis, MO. Race has trouble getting around and passed being shown backstage sitting in a chair talking to guys or waving to the fans, there isn?t much they could have done with him.

In a recent blog, Jim Ross commented on Steve Austin not appearing at the 1000th episode of "WWE Monday Night RAW". He said ?We all missed Steve Austin not being there but with Steve under going major knee surgery just a few weeks ago and still hobbling around on crutches, it just wasn?t in the cards. I can assure you from talking to him on numerous occasions that he wanted to attend but it simply wasn?t physically feasible. Steve?s knee was in deplorable shape from the years of wear and tear on the football field and in the ring. Flying in an airplane for a few hours isn?t the smartest thing a guy can do in that condition especially so soon after surgery and before rehab has commenced. Most fans understand while a handful of jackasses who go into business for themselves don?t.?

WWE.com has some backstage interviews which were conducted after RAW 1000 last Monday night. The official WWE website caught up with Trish Stratus, Lita, Dude Love and Brodus Clay, Shawn Michaels, The APA (John Layfield Bradshaw & Ron Simmons), and The New Age Outlaws (Jesse James & Billy Gunn), to talk about their experience and thoughts on being back for the historic broadcast.

"Road Dogg" Jesse James is being groomed to be a top agent because of his loyalty to Triple H. Road Dogg is the brother of Brad Armstrong.

Rumors abound about the possibility of other WWE stars appearing on the show. While I can?t confirm the rumors, I can tell you that I have spoken with WWE several times about letting WWE talent Superstars and Divas appear on the show.

Oklafan congratulates Chris Kuhn on the birth of his daughter Fayth on July 25th.

Oklafan extends its condolences to Lynx on the death of her uncle last Thursday.

Oklafan was saddened to hear of the death of Rita Cortez, who passed away July 27th at the age of 73. Cortez was the widow of professional wrestler and promoter Buddy Lee and together the two created Buddy Lee Attractions. Cortez was trained by The Fabulous Moolah and is one of the few people who can claim a victory over Moolah during her heyday of power as she beat Moolah for the Big Time Wrestling Women?s Title in 1963. She also won Ring Wrestling magazine?s beauty contest in 1964 and decades later was voted the 36th best woman wrestler of all time by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. Cortez competed in one documented match in Oklahoma, teaming with Al Galento and losing to Judy Grable & Treacherous Philips in a Mixed Tag Team match on December 19, 1960. Oklafan extends its condolences to Cortez?s family and friends
