Oklahoma Scoop

Posted: Nov 24th 2008 By: mikeiles

NEWS
During the Jack Swagger vs. Tommy Dreamer Amateur Wrestling Challenge on "ECW on SciFi" that aired last week, announcer Todd Grisham referred to Swagger's wrestling head gear as "Rick Steiner head gear".

WWE.com joked about "The History of the Intercontinental Title. Somehow the person putting the original booklet that comes with the DVD, put a photo of Buddy Roberts, from the 70's. The photo is from when he was Dale Valentine, Johnny Valentine's brother and managed by Johnny while in San Antonio. The person who put it together thought it was a photo of Pat Patterson, the first IC champion.

The "WWE Legends of Wrestling" DVD will be a 3 disc set of some of the 24/7 channel Legends of Wrestling roundtable segments. Lex Luger actually gets buried with Michael Hayes putting it over as a travesty that Ric Flair had to put him over.

On the new Eddie Guerrero DVD there is an error where Jerry Lawler said Hector Guerrero is Eddie's uncle. Hector is the brother of Eddie, not his uncle.

WWE released its pay-per-view schedule with locations listed as well. All the pay-per-views are listed except for "Armageddon". The list does not include any city in Oklahoma.

According to reports the new name for Mick Foley's propsed quasi-reality show is "Have a Nice Day". Christy Canyon, Foley's favorite old-school porn star, has also signed on as a cast member.

Matches on the TNA Kurt Angle DVD coming out on Tuesday are five matches with Samoa Joe, two with Sting, one with Yuji Nagata from last year's Tokyo Dome, and Jay Lethal, as well as the 2007 King of the Mountain match

On November 14th, at an independent show in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a wrestling fan jumped the guard rail during Al Snow's match against Randy Myers and stole Head. After taking Head, the fan booked towards the door and left the building. The fan tripped two blocks away and Head was ultimately recovered.

Arash Markazi on the Sports Illustrated web site compared Brock Lesnar's UFC Title win over Randy Couture to Hulk Hogan losing to Ultimate Warrior.
