The Scoop
Posted: Jun 2nd 2019 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff
NEWS
Flex Zerba, Niles Plonk, Skylar Slice, Erica, Prince Mahalli, Violet Payne, Urn Stokes, Michael Wolf & The Iceman were all featured in the cookout segment on the Memorial Day edition of RAW.
Jordynne Grace, Petey Williams and Scott Steiner have been announced as a team for the upcoming CHIKARA King of Trios event this October.
WWE Network News reported that three matches from Texas in the 1950s will be added to the Network’s Hidden Gems section tomorrow morning. They are: The Sheik vs. Juan Humberto (1954), Danny Savich vs. Wild Bill Curry (1955), Maurice Vachon vs. The Amazing Zuma (1957).
Following a night in which Raw had its second lowest non-holiday audience in history, SmackDown, which emanated from Tulsa, was actually up five percent this week, averaging 2.072 million viewers for Tuesday's show. This matched the April 23 episode for SmackDown's highest number since April's Superstar Shake-up. The main reason for this week's increase would be the lack of competition, as both the NBA and NHL playoffs had the night off. SmackDown finished seventh overall for the night on cable, trailing only news programming, and topped the 18-49 demo with a 0.69 rating. In fact, in that demo, SmackDown beat everything on television with the exception of NBC, which was the only network to have first-run shows on Tuesday night. SmackDown retained 95 percent of Raw's audience from the night before, which is much higher than usual and one of the highest percentages since the 2016 brand split. The only other times the retention number has been this high has been if it was a special episode of SmackDown, a big return had been announced, or if Raw fell on a bad night. Raw did take place on Memorial Day, but that has historically not hurt Raw that badly. Last year's SmackDown following Memorial Day did 88 percent of the Raw audience. In 2017, the number was 89 percent. Year-over-year, SmackDown was only down six percent, the second straight week the year-over-year decline was in the single digits. In fact, it was the best retention from the previous year that SmackDown has done since going back to October 30 of last year, when the decline was 0.4 percent.
Mick Foley has been announced for Starrcast III.
At Thursday night’s Bar Wrestling show, Joey Ryan announced that he’s staying in independent wrestling and isn’t signing with a major company. Ryan said that as he got offers and negotiated with promotions, he came to the realization that the current iteration of himself would go away forever if he signed an exclusive deal.
Ric Flair posted part one and part two of a “Back in Action” video, with Flair cutting a promo about his hospital stay from earlier this month.
Roman Reigns, AJ Styles, Randy Orton and Seth Rollins all cut localized promos for Super Showdown. Unlike other advertising, most of the promos mentioned Saudi Arabia.
Oklafan congratulates Dean Lambert, whose nephew Avery was born May 26th.
Damon Windsor & AnnaLynn’s child was born May 30th. Oklafan extends congratulations to their family and friends.
