Oklahoma Scoop

Posted: Mar 26th 2007 By: mikeiles

News:
David Sahadi read some of the negative feedback regarding last month's TNA pay-per-view, "Against All Odds" where it was calling the show one of the worst PPV events of all time. Jim Cornette said "Why are we listening to this" then Mike Tenay said "Because the New York Times doesn't cover out PPV's". Then Don West got really mad and the discussion and it ended with everyone agreeing that the comments were made by those on the WWE payroll trying to make TNA look bad. As for the fan chants they simply put it off as marks who are trying to get themself over.

There was a match on "TNA Xplosion" with Jay Lethal & Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin where they were going super fast and doing zero selling. Konnan and Jim Cornette told them to slow it down but they said they were told to do that by Jeff Jarrett who said the X Division is like a video game.

TNA has started a subsite for the soon to be released "Best of A. J. Styles Volume 2" and can be viewed at www.TNAwrestling.com/phenomenal/index.html

Brand new Sting t-shirts and TNA logo t-shirts are now up for purchase at ShopTNA.com.

Mick Foley has pitched ideas for after Wrestlemania, but never specifically offered ideas for this year's Wrestlemania. In fact, Foley wants to work with Johnny Nitro following Wrestlemania.

Speaking of Foley, he was a guest this week on the Opie and Anthony radio show. Foley said he has a big announcement to make after Wrestlemania. You can listen to the show at http://www.foundrymusic.com/video.cfm?id=14411

AM 1130 in WDFN in Detroit has posted a two part interview with soon to be WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler. The interview is on the podcast page. You can download it at http://www.wdfn.com/cc-common/podcast.html

Speaking of Lawler and the WWE Hall of Fame, WWE announced in a mobile alert message last week that Lawler will be inducted by former "Star Trek" star and current "Boston Legal" star William Shatner on March 31st.

This week's Maniac Internet show with New Jack has been posted online. Warning, explicit language. The Masked Maniac and New Jack go back and forth ripping everyone apart and then hear New Jack destroy Missy Hyatt only to have the Maniac defend her honor. New Jack goes into his long story about both himself and Justin Credible popping pills on a California beach and meeting marks in the process and some WSX, WWE and ECW bashing. New Jack talks about his new wrestling school and more.


Magnum T. A. was recently honored in his hometown of Chesapeake, VA and received a plaque from the mayor. A tribute show was held with a local wrestling federation and was also attended by Baby Doll and Ronnie Garvin.
