Oklahoma Scoop

Posted: Aug 28th 2007 By: mikeiles

NEWS
Jeff Jarrett celebrated Hulk Hogan's 54th birthday with the Bollea family the night before the Hard Justice PPV. The celebration occurred at a Linkin Park concert in Tampa, FL. Jarrett left the party early, and according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jarrett appeared to have a lot on his mind.

The Hard Justice PPV promo that Adam "Pacman" Jones cut was scripted by Jeff Jarrett.

The idea for TNA to sign suspended NFL player Adam "Pacman" Jones came from Jeff Jarrett, but public relations guy Ross Foreman suggested it a few months back.

Speaking of Jarrett, he is slated to return to face Kurt Angle at Bound for Glory.

WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes is feeling the affects of being on the road five days per week, and has requested a lighter work schedule.

Mick Foley was a guest on Opie & Anthony last Friday.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts tried to get a job with WWE, but at this point, it appears doubtful he'll be brought back.

Former wrestler Angel of Death did a radio interview on July 31st. He said he personally witnessed Rick Steiner injecting steroids in his rear.

United Wrestling Federation is auctioning the chance of managing a wrestler at their September 21st event in Richmond, VA. The wrestlers that are up for auction are Sgt. Slaughter, Ricky Steamboat, John Bradshaw Leyfield, Ron Simmons, D-Lo Brown, Road Warrior Animal, Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner, Dustin Rhodes, Steve Corino, C. W. Anderson, David Young, Elix Skipper, Hernandez, Homicide, A. J. Styles, Abyss, Senshi, Ruckus, Joey Matthews, Kirby Mack, T. J. Mack, Gail Kim, Earl Hebner, and Brian Hebner. They are also auctioning a spot to guest ring announce a match. For more details go to UWFusa.com.

Barry Darsow and Bill Eadie have reunited as Demolition in the independent circuit. This go around, Darsow is wrestling as Slayer, not Smash.

Mae Young & the Fabulous Moolah did not attend the Ballpark Brawl event in Buffalo last Thursday. No explanation was given as to why they cancelled, although the cancellation was announced ahead of time.

"Cowboy" Bill Watts of Mid South wrestling fame just started doing sports radio in Tulsa, OK on 97.1 FM and 1550 AM on the Sports Animal show, which can be heard daily from 11am to 1pm.

There was a wake for Dewey "Missing Link" Robertson last Monday at The Joshua Centre in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at 7 p.m. It was a gathering of friends, family, fans and media to tell stories about the Link.

Oklafan was remiss last week in not acknowledging the passing of Brian Adams, aka Crush. Adams began his career in the Pacific Northwest before debuting for the WWF the week after WrestleMania VI. He was made 1/2 (or 1/3 depending on which way you look at it) of the WWF World Tag Team Champions as part of Demolition. After losing the titles to the Hart Foundation, Crush engaged in a memorable feud with Randy Savage. He left the WWF for a couple of years, during which time he served some jail time for purchasing steroids and owning an illegal stun gun. He returned to WWF in 1995, although he never achieved the heights that he had in his first run. He was a member of the Nation of Domination, then formed his own rival faction, the Disciples of Apocalypse. After he left the WWF, he turned up in WCW where he used his real name and eventually joined the nWo. He was originally slated for the KISS Demon character and made one appearance as the character, but the gimmick did not work for Adams so the gimmick went to Dale Torborg. Adams then formed a tag team with Bryan Clarke known as Kronik. The duo held the WCW World Tag Team Titles twice before WCW shut down. Adams was briefly part of the WWF again during the Invasion angle, mostly due to a favor from his friend the Undertaker, but he was let go after on a few months as his performances were considered under par. Adams has 2 documented Oklahoma appearances. The first was in Oklahoma City in 1997, where he lost to Rocky Maivia (aka The Rock). The other was for WCW as he & Bryan Clarke defeated Kory Williams & Brian McNeil in the opening match of the last WCW card ever held in Oklahoma. Following his retirement from wrestling, Adams served as a bodyguard for wrestler-turned-rapper Randy Savage. At the time, the cause of his death was unknown, although Adams has had issues surrounding drugs and weapons in his past. Oklafan offers its sympathy to Brian Adams' family and friends.
