The Scoop

Posted: Nov 24th 2019 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
The movie "Peanut Butter Falcon," which is very good and had a wrestling plot to it, including an appearance by Jake Roberts and Mick Foley, was released this past week on DVD.

Ariel Helwani had Mick Foley on his MMA show today right after Ben Askren retired. He talked some about MMA, including his friendship with Leslie Smith, who was at his show in San Jose, as well as "Peanut Butter Falcon" and his touring shows.

WWE has uploaded the entire match between AJ Styles and Brock Lesnar from Survivor Series 2017. You can watch the match here

Here is the latest episode of Sammy Guevara’s vlog.

Joey Ryan appears in the second season of the Netflix series Magic for Humans.

Prior to it being announced that Jim Cornette had resigned from the NWA, Nick Aldis posted a statement about Cornette’s offensive comment that aired on Power last night: “This is in no way speaking on behalf of the NWA, I am absolutely just speaking for myself: I thought the comment was in poor taste and unnecessary. I totally understand why it caused many to be upset. It was a lack of judgment or sensitivity. I have worked really hard along with many others on this team to make this brand mean something again and this is not how I want the NWA to be trending.”

A few quick updates regarding the Jim Cornette situation. Cornette gave his explanation of the issues in place regarding the line on the NWA show that aired Tuesday here on his podcast. The gist is that he meant nothing racial, noted that nobody said a word about it when he said it at first or in the period since he said it. He did apologize to those offended but felt many were out to get him and he wouldn't apologize to them. He explained how this led to his departure for the NWA and did admit to hanging the phone up on David Lagana when Lagana asked him to apologize publicly. He did try and blame the issue on AEW fans who were mad that he insulted their cosplay wrestlers, which, while correct in some instances as far as his enemies list goes, that was a real bad take on the subject. To label this as AEW fans out to get him misses the entire point. While he didn't say this, what went down is that the NWA did want to keep him, although it was tough. They had edited lines out he said before, and were mad that a different line on last week's show got through after the fact, but that didn't end up causing serious controversy. They had edited out others as well, but perhaps only one other person. They did want him to take a temporary hiatus from the product, and with that suggestion, he quit. They wanted him to apologize and he wanted to address it on his podcast instead today, or even on the 12/14 PPV show with the idea of bringing attention to that show. They felt the apology had to be immediate. When he wouldn't do that, it led to Cornette quitting. There were other issues involved as well but that was the key part of things.

AWOL tore his left pectoral muscle Wednesday. Oklafan wishes him a speedy recovery.
