The Scoop

Posted: May 15th 2013 By: mikeiles

NEWS
Attention all Oklafan readers. The Scoop will move back to its original day of Tuesday effective next week.

WWE Saturday Morning Slam ends its seasonal run at the end of this month. Mick Foley had noted that the show was originally scheduled to be seasonal, and the hope is that it'll start up again in the fall.

Even though Raw was from Tulsa, Jim Ross was not a part of the show. He had a commitment to tape an episode of Shawn Michaels' hunting show which started Monday. He was somewhere in Texas filming for a couple of days. He's hunting hogs with bows and arrows and Michael Cole is training to climb Mt. Whitney.

There is a Sgt. Slaughter interview on FOX Sports Radio. You can hear the interview by clicking here.

An article about Jerry Lawler's return to the ring can be read by clicking here.

Jerry Wiseman of Examiner.com posted on Twitter "I spoke with Diamond Dallas Page this morning about rumors started by Honkytonk Man that Jake Roberts was back to 'being Jake.' DDP has assured me that those rumors are unfounded and Jake is still clean and sober?"

The Honky Tonk Man posted on Twitter "Rumors saying HTM knows something about Jake?s well being have no merit. Jake is doing very well from reports HTM has heard. Case closed."

The Australian TV show "At the Movies" saw the country's leading film critic, David Stratton, give "Spring Breakers," which Jeff Jarrett has a role in, a 3 star rating. Co-host Margaret Pomeranz gave it 3 1/2 stars.

The episode of ABC?s "Celebrity Wife Swap" that features Ric Flair and Roddy Piper will air on June 23rd at 7pm Central. Check local listing for times in your area.

An article about the circumstances surrounding Nancy Argentino?s death and Jimmy Snuka?s possible involvement can be read by clicking here.

There will be a Lucha Libre Fan Fest on June 1st in Tlalnepantla, Mexico featuring names like Mil Mascaras, Dos Caras, Ultimo Guerrero, Rush, Lizmark Sr., El Terrible, El Sicodelico, Averno, Kendo, Stuka Jr., Cuchillo, Soberano Jr., Rambo, Kahoz, Ephesto, Rocky Santana, Audaz, Brazo de Plata, Pantera, Jaque Mate and many others.

At Saturday's Kenta Kobashi retirement show, they held the retirement ceremony after the third match. Among those there were Takeshi Rikio, Toshiaki Kawada (a surprise), Sen. Hiroshi Hase, former Prime Minster Yoshihiko Noda, Masahiro Chono, Masa Fuchi, Akira Taue, Mitsuo Momota and a member of Japanese superstar rock band AKB48. They also had a statement from John Laurinaitis (who was Kobashi's tag team partner in the 90s on-and-off for years) and Stan Hansen. Lots of people were crying during the ceremony and after the show. The reports on the show were great to fantastic, saying it was exactly what everyone wanted it to be, a legend looking great in his final match. Everyone was in particular raving about exchanges with Kensuke Sasaki and Go Shiozaki in the main event. As for the show, the undercard matches were there to not outshine the main event, which came off excellent in the building. As noted earlier every location (Budokan Hall and movie theaters around the city) in Tokyo was sold out and people who decided to go to the theaters that day were out of luck as no tickets were available in the entire city.

Cheerleader Melissa posted on Twitter "Dear Friends, I?m starting early for @aidswalksf event! I dedicate this to my loved ones Ive lost to this epidemic. http://awsf2013.kintera.org/melissaanderson".

Tracy Smothers posted on Facebook "Ok,a PROMOTER,RASSLER,not telling the truth?This has never happened in our business??I was suppoed to be in Davenport ,Iowa this past fri. night.To make a long story short,the promoter Big Daddy told me that his dad had a heart attack at the at the age of 90..WPPF is the name of the promotion..He canceled me Wed. night,told the people my WATER PUMP went out..If his dad is alive??Will u please BEAT HIS DUMBASS before I FIND HIM..Everybody wonders why our business is in the toilet..Nobody is real anymore,always working,conning,stealing,etc?Does anybody get that,understand,where Im coming from here??DUH"
