The Scoop

Posted: Mar 20th 2021 By: Compiled by Oklafan Staff

NEWS

Lane Johnson of the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles is the latest sports star who wants to be a pro wrestler. He said that Jim Ross talked to him about it when Ross would be on the sidelines at his college football games at the University of Oklahoma. Speaking to the "Half-Forgotten History" podcast he said, “Jim Ross, J.R., was an announcer for the WWE. He was always at our games and he would just whisper in my ear every now and then…Hey, if football don’t work out, I got you a spot. So I feel like in my heart I want to be a wrestler but we’ll see what happens when this football’s done but I would love to. It’s something you never have to grow up in, just seems like a lot of fun.”

During a recent episode of "Grilling JR", Jim Ross spoke on the WWE hiring back John Laurinaitis. Here’s what he had to say: “Good for him. Everybody deserves the right to feed their family. I was a little surprised, to be honest with you. I was surprised that he came back in that role. I don’t understand what their exact management chart looks like…..I don’t know if Laurinaitis has the autonomy to hire talent or fire talent, more likely probably not, but I don’t know that. I did talent relations differently than Laurinaitis is gonna do it because I’m a different person, and I was doing it in a different time. I was just reminded I got replaced in 2004 – 17 years ago – and I’m kind of over it. I was surprised, and I hope he does well.”

A Twitter war of words has broken out between AEW star Miro and Jim Cornette, over comments that Cornette made about Miro’s TV stablemate Penelope Ford.

On the debut episode of “No BS with the Bull”, Manny Fernandez talked about his upbringing, his very close relationship with Dick Murdoch, and heat he has with Jim Cornette over comments Cornette made about him faking his military background. On the rumors of Dick Murdoch being racist: “I had nothing but positive experience with (Murdoch). I didn’t have a problem with Dicky, he and I were very close. That’s the hard part. One day he was there…next thing I know I heard he passed. He had a heart attack…I never experienced (racism) with Dickie.” On Jim Cornette accusing him of faking his military experience: “Jim Cornette is about as manly as a cup of tapioca pudding… You’ve got to look where it’s coming from. And I did something very stupid when he posted out there about stolen valor – which really hurt me, really really hurt me; destroyed me. I gave up my (college) football career when I could have played at UCLA, went and wrestled there and played football there, USC, all the PAC 10 schools back then – Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State – I had scholarships to small offense from all of them… (When Cornette posted that) I got so angry that I went and posted my DD214 and my Service Connection (showing) my service in (Vietnam)…(My girlfriend) was so angry that I went and posted my private life on Facebook that she didn’t want to talk to me for months.”

Mick Foley has dropped his grey beard and went back to his natural color. Foley revealed on Twitter that he just wrapped filming for his A&E Biography documentary, noting that it should air in June some time. He wrote, “THE BIG SHAVE! After finishing up my filming with A&E @Biography it seemed like a good time to lose the epic beard…and go back to my natural jet-black color. My bio should be airing in June. Who’ll be watching?” Foley has sported a version of the long beard for several years now, which has helped when working on Christmas projects and portraying Santa Claus. Foley noted in a follow-up tweet that his future Santa portrayals will be done with a theatrical beard. “I’m thinking that my future Santa portrayals will be done with a really good theatrical beard – at least for the next few years,” he wrote.
