The Scoop

Posted: Dec 15th 2015 By: Oklafan Staff

NEWS
You can now relive more than 150 hours of archival footage from Mid-South Wrestling, Global Wrestling Federation, Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Stampede Wrestling, NWA World Championship Wrestling and AWA on the award-winning WWE Network. Watch the early days of legendary Superstars such as Sting, Steve Austin, The Ultimate Warrior, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho and others anytime, anywhere on demand on WWE Network.

The main reason WWE is hiring Mick Foley?s son Dewey appears to be because of his creative writings and ideas, which a number of people in the company liked, including Triple H. Mick?s only involvement was reaching out to WWE and telling them his son was interested in a job, and asking who Dewey should e-mail his samples to or who Dewey should contact. Word is that Dewey did most of this on his own. There were some people in WWE shocked to hear that fans would think Mick used his Facebook blog to write negatively about WWE just to help his son. With that said, it?s likely that Mick didn?t do Dewey any favors by writing about his son going to work for the company and it was said by a source that Dewey could be coming in with a little bit of heat. As noted, Dewey is coming in as a creative writer?s assistant in January. He wont have any real power at first but this is a foot in the door and the first step to becoming a writer.

Ric Flair was critical of Mick Foley?s recent WWE creative rants on his ?Whoo! Nation? podcast and Foley says he?s planning on responding tomorrow. Foley posted on Twitter "I'll address the recent criticism from Ric Flair on Tuesday on my Facebook page."

Sting was a guest on Ric Flair?s ?Whoo! Nation? podcast last week and revealed that he needs neck surgery after facing Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Title at "Night of Champions" a few months ago. Sting suffered a career-threatening spinal injury during that match and Ric asked Sting if he?s feeling better. ?Well yes and no,? Sting responds with a certain candid honesty. ?Obviously that night I had some problems. It wasn?t Seth?s fault, completely mine. I have no idea what I did but my neck whiplashed on both buckle bombs. And on the second one, I?m having a casual conversation in my own mind thinking: ?Okay Steve tuck your chin. Do what you know how to do'?. Sting said he could barely walk following the second buckle bomb, but knew the stakes were too high to quit. He somehow mustered the wherewithal to perform another two minutes before finally opting to ?go home?. Sting is set to undergo surgery at the hands of Dr. Joseph C. Maroon, and is hopeful that he won?t have to have anything fused. He says he?ll have the same procedure done that John Cena required a few years back, and is confident he?ll return to the ring for ?one more match.? He also said "Yeah, MRI's and neurologists have been looking at it, Dr. Maroon out of Pittsburgh, he's looked at it. He's telling me that I'll have to have a surgery. The dust only in the last couple weeks has kind of started to settle a little bit for me, just trying to get so much done in life but now it's time to go get this thing taken care of. No, I'm hoping [they don't have to do a fusion surgery]. I know that's one of the techniques that they use and I'm not sure if Dr. Maroon will have to do that or not. I've got two spots in my neck that are troublesome. I guess it's called cervical spinal stenosis. That's what it is. I have two areas in my neck where the spinal canal, which holds the spinal cord, it's kind of choked off in two different locations. Lucky that a catastrophe didn't happen that night, long story short. I've gotta go get it fixed. I guess John Cena had something very similar, he had his fixed, and Dr. Maroon has done several of the WWE guys up there and all with great success." To listen to the podcast, click here.
