The Scoop

Posted: Jun 30th 2019 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
The Hannibal TV's full career interview is now up with WWE Hall of Famer Paul Orndorff who unfortunately is now suffering from memory issues due to his battles with cancer and numerous concussion. Orndorff is joined by Brian Blair for the last 20 minutes to discuss their days as travel partners. You see the interview here

The next WWE DVDs set for release include a Roddy Piper unreleased matches set and a DVD featuring The Miz.

The WWE Performance Center’s YouTube account posted a video of Joaquin Wilde (DJZ) discussing his life-threatening injury from 2017. You can watch the video here

The Terry Funk ECW Award Banquet from the night before ECW Barely Legal 1997 was uploaded to the WWE Network as part of this week’s Hidden Gems additions. The WWE Network version of the video is an hour and 46 minutes long.

While talking about depression and the times he’s dealt with it on the latest episode of his podcast, Tommy Dreamer opened up about wanting to hop the rail at WrestleMania X-7 and murder Paul Heyman and kill himself following the end of ECW and plans for Dreamer at WrestleMania not coming to fruition. Dreamer said he was helped by getting a call from Jim Ross that said WWE was still thinking about him and was going to get a deal done to bring him in.

Triple H returned to the ring Friday as he teamed up with The Club in Japan during a non-televised live event. The Sumo Hall in Tokyo welcomed fan favorites AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows, the popular trio who were part of The Club during their stint in Japan. Triple H, who last wrestled in Saudi Arabia earlier this month, laced up his wrestling boots again to join them for an eight-man tag team match as they took on Samoa Joe, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Baron Corbin. As you probably expected, the faces came out on top with Triple H hitting the Pedigree on Baron Corbin and pinning him for the win. He wrote on Twitter that it was an amazing night in a city where he performed countless times with an incredible roster of WWE Superstars. "And if this was one of my last times to perform in Tokyo.... it was #TooSweet!" The show was main evented by Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Universal title.

Compact King’s granddaughter Rylie Grace was born June 25th.

Former WWE champion Jinder Mahal will be on the sidelines for the next four to six months after he underwent surgery for a ruptured patella tendon. In a post on Instagram, Mahal wrote that he suffered the injury on June 15 during a live event against Ali in Denver, Colorado. He underwent surgery at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center under the care of Dr. Jeffrey Dugas, the surgeon who performs most of the surgeries on WWE Superstars. "Happy to say surgery went well, and my knee was better than expected. This comeback is going to be legendary," Mahal wrote in the social media post. Mahal recently signed a new, five-year contract with WWE. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.

Brock Baker was recently diagnosed with a torn labrum. He has surgery scheduled for July 19th and is expected to be out of action for the remainder of 2019. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.
