The Scoop

Posted: Oct 4th 2020 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
Ric Flair and Christian returned at "Clash of Champions" last Sunday night to haunt Randy Orton. Christian showed up first, attacking Orton during the Ambulance Match against Drew McIntyre. Christian and Orton brawled for a bit and Christian laid the smackdown on Orton before exiting. Shawn Michaels also briefly appeared, delivering Sweet Chin Music to Orton on the top of the ambulance before pushing him over the top as payback for his attack weeks earlier. And then finally, Flair was revealed to be the one driving the ambulance back. After McIntyre locked Orton in and replays aired, the referee signaled for the ambulance to leave. As the camera panned, it showed Flair behind the wheel. "I promise not to break the speed limit! Wooooo," said Flair as he drove out. Both Christian and Flair were victims of Orton's attacks several weeks before.

WWE’s YouTube channel uploaded a Fatal 5-Way Elimination Match featuring A. J. Styles vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Ricochet vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Robert Roode from the September 23, 2019 episode of RAW, and John Morrison vs. The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan in a Submissions Count Anywhere Match from "Hell In a Cell" in 2010.

Season four of "WWE Story Time" kicks off on the WWE Network on Friday, October 9th with a new episode available on demand every week. Jerry “The King” Lawler will lend his voice as the show’s new narrator. He picks up the mantle left by incomparable “Mean” Gene Okerlund, who hosted the first three seasons before his passing in 2019. “I feel honored that they called on me take ‘Mean’ Gene’s place as the host,” Lawler told “Stone Cold” Steve Austin during his recent appearance on "The Broken Skull Sessions".

Arn Anderson, who now works for All Elite Wrestling, has applied to trademark the term "The Four Horsemen" according to an application dated September 27th with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The attorney on record is Michael Dockins, the man who has been helping a lot of AEW - and some WWE - stars file for their trademarks. The application of The Four Horsemen term is under Goods & Services: Entertainment, which includes live appearances in professional wrestling etc. It's noted in the application that the first use was in November 1985. The Four Horsemen is the iconic group which included Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Ole Anderson, although during the years it had different members with Flair remaining the only constant throughout. AEW has been hinting at a formation of some sort of The Four Horsemen with Shawn Spears and FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) involved. The application will surely receive objections from a few individuals, namely WWE, which has the ownership of the majority of the footage of the group.

Arcadian Vanguard has purchased the assets of Pro Wrestling Enterprises from Brian Bukantis and Arena Publishing. This includes the rights to the old magazines Wrestling Revue, Wrestling News Ring Wrestling and all Norman Keitzer published magazines and programs which would include AWA, Mid South, WWF, Michigan and Los Angeles.

Joey Ryan has filed a second lawsuit against another woman who lives in California after she accused him of inappropriate behavior this past June during the height of the #SpeakingOut movement. The lawsuit was filed in the Los Angeles Central Judicial District. The lawsuit states that the woman used social media to publish defamatory remarks against him including sexually assaulting her, engaging in sexual acts without her consent and forcing her to engage in sexual acts through fear and intimidation. The indie wrestler also added that the defendant published all these statements fully aware that he lives in Los Angeles and that he was a promoter in the state of California, running shows in the area, so her statements caused a negative effect on his career and income. Ryan is denying all the accusations against him from this particular woman and said that the defendant was fully aware that the defamatory statements were not true. He is requesting $25,000 in economic damages, $25,000 in non-economic damages, and an injunction to retract all statements leveled against him.

Joey Ryan has filed a third lawsuit against a woman from Canada who made allegations against him.

According to The Blue Meanie, Tracy Smothers, who was diagnosed with cancer late last year, has been hospitalized once again. Meanie wrote on Instagram: “My mind and heart are with Tracy Smothers tonight as I’m hearing of his battle with cancer and other complications have him hospitalized. This hurts my heart. I am who I am in wrestling because he helped mold me and countless others. I love you man! Keep fighting!”
