The Scoop

Posted: Oct 26th 2010 By: CMBurnham

NEWS
Michael Barry was a guest on "MWA Radio" with host Scott James last Thursday. He talked about his start in wrestling, that his top priority is to rid the wrestling world of all McGuirks, that he misses being the MWA Heavyweight Champion and he feels that the title is "on loan" to his fellow Excellence Personified member Jack Legacy, and so much more.

WWE announced their tentative pay-per-view schedule for 2011. Neither Oklahoma City nor Tulsa are currently scheduled to host an event.

TMZ recently spoke with Jerry Lawler. He said that during the shooting of the movie "Man on the Moon", the biographic film about Andy Kaufman, star Jim Carrey was so intense about his portrayal of Kaufman, that he actually spat in Lawler's face on set. Lawler saidthat Carrey's method acting technique led to a serious confrontation on set. According to Lawler, Carrey desperately wanted "The King" to put him in a piledriver for a stunt in the movie ... but when "King" refused, Carrey (refusing to break character) flipped out and launched a loogie right in his face. The spit-shot caused a firestorm on set, says Lawler, and the former wrestling champ explained that he was sure the outburst meant he'd be axed from the flick. Fortunately, he wasn't. No word if Carrey ever apologized once he allowed himself to snap back to reality. To watch the Lawler video or to see Kaufman's original smack talk video from 1982, click here.
