The Scoop

Posted: Nov 29th 2020 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS
WWE’s YouTube channel uploaded John Morrison vs. Sheamus from Survivor Series 2010 and AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Roderick Strong from the 2019 Survivor Series

The Bone Street Krew, the group which ran with The Undertaker during the Attitude Era, all reunited in Orlando in anticipation of Sunday's final farewell to The Undertaker at the Survivor Series. Rikishi posted a photo with himself, The Godfather, Savio Vega, Mideon, Henry Godwinn, and Undertaker in Orlando. All of them, along with the departed Yokozuna, Crush, Mr. Fuji, and Paul Bearer, were part of the BSK. Also pictured with them were former referee Tim White and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. Mideon, real name Dennis Knight, posted a photo saying the BSK tested all negative and "it's beginning," probably referring to all the shenanigans that would take place among them leading up to the event.

Past and present WWE Superstars paid tribute to The Undertaker last Sunday night after Taker's 30-year WWE in-ring career came to an end at the Survivor Series. Social media was buzzing with tributes as the likes of The Rock, John Cena, Vince McMahon, Triple H, Shane McMahon, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Trish Stratus, Bray Wyatt, Karrion Kross, and many, many others saluted The Phenom, and some even posted a personal story about him. Their tributes joined hundreds of thousands of others from wrestling fans who helped get the Dead Man trending during his final farewell. "30 yrs ago today, he made his iconic #SurvivorSeries debut," wrote The Rock in a post on his social media. "Like EVERYONE - I was in awe as a rookie in the @WWE when his first words pierced my soul as he walked in the dressing room and said, 'Muthafucka' True story! Honored to share the ring w you, my brother." John Cena said that after three decades of The Undertaker committing wholeheartedly to the WWE, tonight we witnessed the end of an extraordinary body of work. "For all the in ring moments and as a member of the @WWEUniverse, I say #ThankYouTaker," Cena wrote. Triple H, who says he shared the greatest moment in his wrestling career with Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker after the Hell In A Cell match at WrestleMania, wrote, "For being loyal.... no matter what! For every second of every day, every mile, every tour, every shot, every ounce of wisdom, every drop of sweat, pint of blood, for times we were 'social' or just having a 'sandwich,' for every ride I’ll never forget, #ThankYouTaker." Vince McMahon called The Undertaker the measuring stick and the locker room leader. "The Phenom. Three decades ago today, @Undertaker changed the landscape of sports-entertainment. His legacy is incomparable, his impact immeasurable," McMahon wrote. Ric Flair congratulated The Undertaker said he cannot express how much he meant to him personally. "With a career so extraordinary, you deserve the greatest farewell of all! WOOOOO!" Members of the All Elite Wrestling roster also joined in with the tributes, many of whom worked with The Undertaker during their WWE days. Those included Matt Hardy, Miro, Lance Archer, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho, and others. Jericho even filmed a video and uploaded it on his YouTube channel, congratulating the man behind the gimmick for the amazing accomplishments, calling him the greatest character and performer in WWE history.

Sammy Guevara is the guest on this past week’s edition of A Shot of Brandi.

The Offshoots Network announced last week that Tim Storm is the 2020 recipient of the Killer Tim Brooks Lifetime Achievement Award. Brooks said some time ago that Storm is one of the most deserving individuals who should be considered for an award named after him. Storm joins past winners Rob Moore, James Beard, Rod Price, and Brooks himself.

Friends and former co-workers paid tribute to Bob Ryder, the long-time Impact Wrestling employee and pioneer for wrestling websites after it was reported that he passed away last week. Ryder worked for WCW and Impact Wrestling and also headed the ECW website back in the day apart from running 1wrestling.com before he sold his business. "There are people that can enter your life and completely change everything. Bob Ryder was that person for me," said Jeremy Borash, who hosted WCW Live with him. "His courageous, long fight with cancer never kept his spirits down. He was the kind of best friend that comes along once in a lifetime. I will miss him terribly." Former Impact Wrestling President Dixie Carter said that she was beyond devastated to hear about the passing of Ryder. "He was the kindest, most selfless person you could imagine. He always did for others. He meant the world to me. We had just talked & I was worried he would be alone for Thanksgiving. Cannot tell u how much I will miss," Carter wrote. Christopher Parks, who used the name of Abyss while at Impact Wrestling, said he was crushed with the news. "He was one of a kind. He loved the business, the talent and everyone around him. He wore countless hats and was a big part of the success I had during my career. I love you Bob. Rest In Peace my friend," Parks commented. Matt Hardy also chimed in and talked about how Bob took great care of him and his family during his time with Impact Wrestling, noting that even after he left, Ryder was incredibly supportive of his family and career. "Godspeed, my friend, you’ll be missed," Hardy wrote. Taz, who knew Ryder from the ECW days, said he was very sad to hear the news and Ryder was always awesome to him. Former fellow ECW star Tommy Dreamer added that he had just spoken to him three days ago. The NWA champion Nick Aldis said that the wrestling business is a tough, harsh and often cold business and you don't forget the people that were in your corner. "Bob Ryder was in my corner," Aldis said. "Farewell Bob. I hope you know how much I appreciate what you did for me and my family. No more pain. RIP my friend." Eric Bischoff gave Ryder his WCW job and kept it short, saying that Ryder was a good man. All Elite Wrestling released a short statement writing, "AEW and the wrestling world mourn the passing of Bob Ryder, our thoughts are with his family, and his friends" but WWE did not acknowledge his passing yet. Dave Scherer, who now runs PWInsider.com and started with Ryder over at 1wrestling.com before branching out wrote, "So sad to hear about the passing of my old friend Bob Ryder. He was a pioneer in wrestling reporting and without him TNA never would have happened. Bob lived HIS life HIS way and the wrestling business is better for his contributions. Rest in peace my friend."
