Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we give you the scoop on what's happening in and out of the wrestling ring. As the kids would say, "the dilly-o."

Snake on the Run
Jake "The Snake" Roberts is in trouble again and it surprisingly has nothing to do with drugs. Roberts was arrested today in Niles, Ohio following an auto accident earlier in the day. He was charged with drunk driving, hit and run (leaving the scene of the accident), and reckless operation of a vehicle. The accident occurred on private property. No snakes were harmed during the making of the accident.
Breaking the Walls Down
Chris Jericho announced in his latest online commentary that this Monday will be the debut of his new entrance video and music. Jericho has used his current theme and video for over a year. My sources tell me his new entrance music will be Bruce Hornsby's Mandolin Rain. My sources totally rule!
Chyna in a Non-porn Movie
Entertainment Tonight reported Wednesday that Chyna has a role in Touchstone Pictures' upcoming comedy, 'Frank McKlusky C.I.'. The movie also stars Randy Quaid, Dolly Parton and Kevin Pollak. She will be playing a character named "Freeda". ET describes her character as a "menacing gatekeeper of the company's classified files with a very unique fashion sense." I describe her character as a "chick in a cat suit." There is an interview with her here.
More WCW Names
As time slowly passes, the new WCW is beginning to take shape. As I mentioned on Wednesday, the WWF is in talks with Diamond Dallas Page. I'm also hearing that Billy Kidman and Torrie Wilson are expected to sign contracts soon. This pleases me. Everything about Torrie Wilson pleases me. As for WCW itself, the WWF has yet to secure a prime television spot for the WCW show. It's looking more and more like the WWF will have to sacrifice Smackdown or Raw to the new WCW show.
Mick Foley Interview
1wrestling has an exclusive interview up with Mick Foley that's a pretty good read. In it he discusses his new book (duh), his future with WCW and his anger towards The Rock.
Quick Thought: The WWF is promising that the identity of the man stalking the Undertaker's wife's will not be a let down. Here is a short list of people that would actually surprise me.
Shawn Michaels - He was sent home prior to Wrestlemania for misconduct, so it's unlikely to be Shawn. However this is the best choice for the WWF. Shawn is a big name wrestler and he and the Undertaker have a long history to play off of (Hell in the Cell 1.)
Raven - The stalker angle fits in to Raven's character, but isn't he with Tori? Anyway, the Undertaker and Raven could have some good matches and the WWF gets the added bonus of raising Raven to a higher spot on the card. He's getting lost in the shuffle right now fighting for the hardcore title.
Vince Russo - No Chance In Hell as the saying goes, but it would defiantly surprise me. Then again, do I really want this loser on my T.V. again? I think not.
Undertaker - The Undertaker is stalking his own wife! Either he has a split personality or it's a sick role playing thing they do to spice up the sex life. Maybe it's an Undertaker clone that's been hiding for years under the name Ben Reilly. NO!!!!!!!!! I'm tapped. See you fanboys Monday.
