The Scoop

Posted: Feb 14th 2012 By: mikeiles

NEWS
The update on WWE Hall of Fame plans are for Alberto Del Rio to induct his uncle Mil Mascaras, Steve Austin to induct Mike Tyson, Christian to induct Edge, John Bradshaw Layfield to induct Ron Simmons, The Rock to induct Yokozuna, and Triple H and Shawn Michaels to induct The Four Horsemen (Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham, & James J. Dillon).

While speaking to WrestlingVoiceRadio.com, Jake Roberts discussed his chances of going into the WWE Hall of Fame. He said, "I know I belong in there, a lot more than others that are in there, but I don?t care about
that. The WWE was very good to me. I didn?t understand a lot of things. I was not a good business man. Vince would call me say we need an idea for this and I?d give him an idea and we?d just rock and roll with it. I didn?t know I?d to go in there and fight for my money and my place and the bottom line is the squeaky wheel gets the grease and I should of recognized that. I should of done the right thing and been squeaky."

Last Monday night?s episode of RAW from Oklahoma City scored a 3.25 cable rating (down from 3.55 the previous week) with 4.62 million viewers.

Jim Ross posted on Twitter that the attendance for the "WWE Monday Night RAW" live telecast in Oklahoma City on February 6th was approximately 7000.

Jim Ross was backstage at RAW during the afternoon on February 6th working with THQ on "WWE 13", the next WWE video game. Ross and Jerry Lawler will be providing commentary for the game which is already well into development.

R-Truth did a flip dive out of the ring on "WWE Monday Night RAW" on February 6th in Oklahoma City. The Miz was supposed to catch him but didn?t make it there in time. Truth landed back first on the floor and had to be assisted to the back. Reports have surfaced that The Miz is now in the WWE dog house, and he received a verbal chewing out by Triple H backstage after the show. R-Truth is on the current Abu Dhabi tour, and remarkably doing fine.

Daniel Bryan's clip yelling at The Big Show from "WWE Monday Night RAW" in Oklahoma City made Clip of the Week on "The Soup" on E! which aired Wednesday. Host Joel McHale made fun of Bryan angrily proclaiming himself a vegan. After the clip, they made jokes about vegans and how he pushed being a vegan as this heel point of his interview

The idea was that they were going to re-do the Brodus Clay/Drew McIntyre angle that got cut from SmackDown two weeks ago at the tapings in Tulsa last Tuesday. Obviously that didn?t happen.

The phone interview with John Laurenitis was obviously not broadcast to the live audience at the SmackDown taping in Tulsa as the WWE tour of Abu Dhabi had not begun when SmackDown was taped.

After February 13th's "WWE Monday Night RAW" went off the air which showed Zack Ryder being wheeled off the platform on a wheelchair by Kane, Mick Foley posted the following on Twitter: "Yeah, @Joeystyles I?m legit concerned for @zackryder. There?s just way too much risk there. That fall off the ramp might not be something you can get through with fortitude and ice packs. Zack has such a bright future; I hate to see his knees, ankles and spine at such risk. That?s the type of thing that could cost him weeks or months at the most vital time of his career."

WWE is developing a ?Best of the Clash of the Champions? DVD set. The presentation will be hosted by Dusty Rhodes, who created the event. The DVD set is expected to be released on May 22nd.

"The Jerry Lawler Show" returns to Memphis television on Sundays at 6am on Fox 13.

Former WWE developmental wrestler Wes Brisco, son of Jerry Brisco, and J. D. Maverick, husband of April Hunter, were cast by Alexa Modeling Agency looking for two good looking bodybuilders to lead in a commercial for a financial institution shooting February 13th and 14th.

Vince Russo is no longer the head writer in TNA. Despite rumors, former SmackDown writer Dave Lagana is not replacing Russo, but largely brought in to focus on TNA?s Ring Ka King project. He will be helping out with "Impact Wrestling". Russo was not at the "Against All Odds" pay-per-view on Sunday, and rumors are circulating that Russo may be finished with the company, but no announcement has been by made by TNA. The creative team also consists of former WWE agent Bruce Prichard and Matt Conway. Eric Bischoff is not involved in the day to day creative process, but does offer his feedback.

What precipitated the creative shake up TNA last week? Apparently, Vince Russo being removed from as head writer had been in the works for some time, but what clearly didn?t help Russo?s status was the lower than expected ratings from the February 2nd and February 9th "Impact Wrestling" shows that were pre-taped in London, England. There was a feeling that the bigger building would make the product look more major league and hopefully boost the rating. The feeling is that Russo was gradually losing power with Bruce Prichard added to the creative team, however, Dixie Carter had always been enamored with Russo. The belief is that if Russo is officially gone from the company, it was Russo?s decision and not forced out by Carter.

So Cal Val interviewed A. J. Styles before TNA's "Against All Odds" pay-per-view. The video was posted on You Tube and you can see the video by clicking here.

TNA posted a video to You Tube called "A Chronicle Of Sting's Experience In England". You can see the 11+ minute video by clicking here.

TNA posted on Twitter last week "Congrats to @Sting for trending worldwide earlier today for his #StingInTheUK cricket bat giveaway!"

The Sun has a huge audio interview with Hulk Hogan. He said the company in terms of talent are lacking complete package guys such as a Rock or Cena persona who can not only turn in great
performances but can cope with everything else that comes with being a mainstream star. ?There aren?t a lot of home run hitters. And when I say a home run hitter that?s a guy that crosses the media barriers. You know, the John Cenas, the Andre the Giants, the Rocks, the Hulk Hogans, the Steve Austins. There are a lot of guys that can go out and have that
?five-star match? and they can do all the flips and all this crazy stuff but that?s just a very small part of this business. That?s maybe 10 percent, you know. They don?t have the other 90 percent of the business
which whether it?s talking to the media or doing a national commercial or whether it?s what they actually do on their time off which means a
lot.? He named Abyss as an example. ?It?s not his work in the ring and it?s not his look ? Abyss? problem is how the promotion has used him and
it?s not his fault. There are certain problems and certain tweaks that need to made with certain guys. Everybody?s got a different story, you know. Everything is fixable. Some guys you kind of need to re-educate ? some of the guys that have been there from day one, the ?TNA originals? who are having the ?five-star matches?. Their mindset is so screwed up
that they?re going to have ?five-star matches? 10 years from now and they?re still not going to draw any money. That?s the thing. If we can get to these guys and save them. Whether they think they?re great and
their stuff doesn?t have any holes ? it still isn?t working. They?re all just second base players, midcard players, even if you put them in the
main events they still do the same thing.? On where he would like to see TNA a year from now: ?I really hope they?re still working with Spike TV because Spike understands the product. I?m not sure how long the contract is for or what?s in the future? I just hope the guys like Bobby Roode, A. J. Styles and all these guys keep getting it, keep figuring out not only do we have this type of talent in the ring but I want them to take all those skills and start using them outside the ring to try to make themselves bigger stars? I think a year from now TNA is going to be much, much, much more competitive not only in the wrestling genre but in the whole entertainment area because Dixie Carter?s on track. She?s got the right feel for where this company should go. She really does. I had no idea a good-looking lady like Dixie would have a good feel for wrestling but she really does.?
