The Scoop

Posted: Jan 4th 2017 By: Oklafan Staff

NEWS
All charges were dropped against Jimmy Snuka today at an unscheduled hearing in Allentown, PA by Judge Kelly L. Banach, according to WFMZ-TV. The judge ruled that Snuka’s mental health will not improve enough to stand trial. Snuka was facing third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino at a motel in Whitehall Township, PA. Snuka’s lawyers have argued that he has dementia and is not fit to stand trial. Both the prosecution and the defense asked the judge to drop the case back in August if she believed Snuka’s health would not improve. The judge needed more time to evaluate Snuka’s condition and made her ruling today.

Bill Goldberg tweeted the following in response to a fan who wants to see WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens put a hurting on Goldberg: "Yeah I'm looking forward to that. RT @Carmella_Alexa: @FightOwensFight Can you plz teach @Goldberg a lesson and kick his ass?"

Bill Goldberg, Braun Stroman, Chris Jericho, The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Big E, & Xavier Woods), and Brock Lesnar are confirmed for the Royal Rumble Match at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX on January 29th.

WWE Monday Night RAW General Manager Mick Foley really did have Tampa written on his hand so he wouldn’t forget which city RAW was in on Monday.

During a recent episode of his podcast, "Something to Wrestle With", Bruce Prichard revealed that Vince McMahon wasn’t a fan of the "King of the Ring" tournament because the pay-per-view didn’t so well in terms of sales. He said "Vince McMahon didn’t like it simply same guys wrestling in one night and it was probably our lowest sales pay per view of the year, which is crazy because in the territorial days, the summer months were money months and for WWF the summer months were slower months. The Pay Per Views during the summer didn’t do all that well, and 'King of the Ring' wasn’t a large grossing pay per view, so Vince wasn’t really excited about it, and decided to change it up. The pay-per-view stopped being an annual event after 2002, but it was later revived in 2006, 2008 and 2010. The last time that WWE held the King of the Ring tournament was in 2015, and the finals of the tournament aired on the WWE Network."

Killista injured her knee in her match against Skylar Slice on Saturday at ComPro. Initial diagnosis was a torn ACL which would require surgery. She is awaiting an MRI for confirmation. Oklafan wishes her a speedy recovery.
