Foley on Spike, Jericho acting like a TNA Diva, Mooney back and more...
Columbus Pro Wrestling Examiner
- Mick Foley will have a cameo on an episode of "Super Dave" that is set to air on Spike.
- Edge is in Australia promoting an upcoming WWE tour. Wonder if anyone will try and correlate with the Hulkamania tour?
- Chris Jericho was feeling the love from fans at London's O2 arena. He was pelted with DX glow sticks and one actually struck him in the face. Jericho would Twitter later "what a way for a grown man to make a living." Well, you are a heel, you are supposed to get heat and you are living a dream a million other people would love to be doing so stop acting like Kevin Nash.
- Sean Mooney has been seen at Titan Towers so either the WWE is looking for a new accountant or he may be coming back as a "broadcaster."
- Jody "The Assassin" Hamilton and his defunct Deep South Wrestling, a promotion the WWE was going to use in conjunction with OVW but was dropped almost immediately by WWE, is still trying to have the breach of contract dispute adjudicated. WWE was given until November 16 to respond to the suit. While WWE felt they were within their contractual rights to shut DSW down, at dispute is whether they followed the guidelines laid out by the contract with Hamilton to do so.
- The TNA Wrestling video game will live on through Southpeak Interactive which purchased the license from THQ. My kids are big wrestling marks and love their wrestling video games but hated the TNA Impact. Hopefully Southpeak will be able to come up with something worth playing.
- A couple of interesting trivia notes and where are they now treats...
- The Sheik made his debut in 1952
- In November 1988 Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Promotions and WCW was born.
- Ten years later in November of 1998, Jesse Ventura was elected Governor of Minnesota
- Bob Armstrong, 70 and still going strong, living in Georgia and still wrestling from time to time.
- "Hangman" Bobby Jaggers works for the highway department in Kansas
- Former strongman Ted Arcidi runs a gym and shills health supplements in New Hampshire
- Spike Huber, former WWA tag team champion for Dick the Bruiser and twice married to Bruiser's daughter Michelle runs a gym and shills supplements in Tennessee. He also competes in bodybuilding competitions in the over (age) 50 class.
- And finally, I had an enlightening and entertaining talk with Ivan Koloff. Let us just say that for all he was in the ring and all he was known for, Ivan is a very humble, personable and polite man and it was an honor to speak to him. I will be posting the article and interview possibly Sunday or Monday, I need a couple of days to put everything together solidly and due justice to Ivan.
- And as always, please help support your local independent wrestling scene, they are the heart and soul of the wrestling business.

When I am finished with my Ivan Koloff column/interview I will enlighten all concerned about why Kevin Nash has heat with me.
Funny how you didn't seem to get that Jericho was joking with his "What a way to make a living" comment.
