The Scoop

Posted: Feb 13th 2013 By: mikeiles

NEWS
Dutch Mantell returned to WWE television on "WWE Monday Night RAW" under the name of Zeb Colter following an absence of ten years. The man formerly known as Uncle Zebekiah accompanied Jack Swagger to the ring for his match against Zack Ryder and then cut a promo on how patriototic he is. The 63 year old Carolina native has a long wrestling career dating back to 1973 and worked for WCW and TNA as well. Mantell started with WCW in 1990 and then moved to Smoky Mountain Wrestling a year later where he stayed until 1994 before making his debut with the then WWF. In 2003, he started working for TNA as a writer and producer and left the company in 2009.

The final two - or actually three - members for the Elimination Chamber match to determine the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania were chosen this past Monday night on RAW. The first one to qualify for the Chamber match was the returning Chris Jericho who defeated WWE World Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan to earn his spot. The other one to go through was Bryan's tag team partner Kane, who defeated Dolph Ziggler. Rey Mysterio, who was previously in the match but pulled out after Mark Henry's attack, was replaced by Jack Swagger. With the new three entrants, the match now has Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Daniel Bryan, Chris Jericho, Kane, and Swagger, all competing for a spot in one of the main events of WrestleMania.

Jack Swagger qualified for Elimination Chamber Match after he defeated Zack Ryder. Swagger came out with his new manager, Zeb Colter, who was supporting him from ringside. Swagger and Colter cut a controversial promo about being patriots. Colter talked about looking around and seeing a country he no longer recognizes and hearing people talk that he can?t understand.

John Bradshaw Layfield posted the following on Twitter about Dutch Mantell, as Zeb Colter, joining Jack Swagger on this past Monday's RAW "Zeb is huge addition to @wwe @RealJackSwagger he is one of best talkers in the biz and he and Swagger will be a great team. Glad he's back!"

After his match with Jack Swagger, Zack Ryder posted on Twitter "Still coughing up blood. Thanks @RealJackSwagger. I owe ya a fist pump?to your face!"

A tweet that The Rock sent to Jeff Jarrett after RAW was over was deleted from The Rock's timeline however the actual tweet still comes up if you search for it. "@JeffJarrettTNA Had to tell a few of our USWA stories tonight on #RAW my friend. From 40 bucks a night to @WWE Champ. #NashvilleDreams," Rock wrote to Jarrett, a message which was retweeted 164 times. "Congrats on all your success! #DowntownBruno," Jarrett replied, adding the hashtag of Downtown Bruno, who WWE fans might know better as Harvey Wippleman. The Rock name-checked him during the promo which closed RAW yesterday. The current WWE Champion mentioned the former TNA Champion on the broadcast while he was recounting stories from when he started wrestling in Nashville when he was 25 years old. Jeff Jarrett was fired in a TNA storyline at the end of 2011 following a Steel Cage Match against Jeff Hardy at TNA's "Final Resolution" pay-per-view. Jarrett also wrote that after The Rock mentioned him on RAW, people made sure he knew about it. He posted on Twitter "Phone blowing up... Twitter blowing up... @TheRock #theRocksays#40bucks."
