The following are highlights from a recent VOC Wrestling Nation interview with DDP Yoga intern Dylan Frymer:
On the progress of Jake “The Snake” Roberts: “I want to make it clear that Jake is a year clean off of cocaine. However, he recently had a problem with alcohol that we documented on YouTube. Since then, I’ve been going on the road with Jake as an accountability partner. I keep him accountable to himself. We’re a tag team on addiction. Food is my addiction, and (Jake and I) help each other.”
On getting involved with DDP Yoga: “In 2008 I was going to meet DDP at a convention in NJ. I was 290 lbs at the time, and I was one of the first people to sign up for the YRG program (the former name of DDP Yoga, “Yoga for Regular Guys”) My mom sent an email to Dallas and he actually responded back to me personally. I was one of the first 10 people to do YRG and I lost 110lbs.”
On moving into DDP’s “Accountability Crib”: “I fell off the wagon after a bout with depression and gained most of the weight back. Depression is real. I was originally approached to come and live here with Jake, but I was in a funk (and said no). Then I saw that Scott Hall moved in and it really impacted my life; I reached out to DDP on facebook and let him know that Scott Hall inspired me to (overcome depression) and that I lost 20lbs. DDP called me and asked me to move into the Accountability Crib and work with him as an intern, and the rest is history.”

As seen Monday night on Raw, Eva Marie made her televised wrestling debut as she and fellow Total Divas JoJo and Natalya defeated Alicia Fox, Aksana and Rosa Mendes in a Six-Diva Tag Team Match. The 29-year-old’s performance drew negative reviews online, as her inexperience was put on display before millions of viewers (prior to the match, she had only wrestled before a live crowd once, a non-televised tag team bout at SummerSlam Axxess in August). It has since come out that this reaction was sought within WWE as she was purposely set up to fail by members of management.
Dave Meltzer claimed on F4WOnline.com’s Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials wanted to knock the confident Californian down a few pegs, since they feel she has an undeserved ego and doesn’t realize how much she has to learn as a performer. Therefore, they had her sink on national television in hopes of making her humble.
This is not the first time in which Eva Marie, who F4WOnline.com reported in August as being “passionately hated” by some of her co-workers, was pranked in an inside manner.
In a segment filmed backstage at a spring Raw show for the August 4 episode of E! Total Divas, she was led to believe by company personnel that she had committed a wrongful act and that an infuriated Stephanie McMahon wanted to confront her over the matter (on the episode, the meeting was depicted as stemming from Eva Marie lying about her background in order to audition to be Fandango’s dancer, which was a fabricated storyline). During the blurred reality segment, McMahon threatened to fire her if she embarrassed the company again with her conduct. Eva Marie legitimately cried during the meeting, as she was not aware that the situation was orchestrated and that McMahon was fooling around with her through her character persona.
The following are results from the WWE live event in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. The event was held on Friday, October 11, 2013.
-Kofi Kingston def. Fandango in the opening match.
-Santino Marella def. NXT Champion Bo Dallas in a non-title match.
-Sami Zayn def. RAW General Manager Brad Maddox in singles action.
-Ryback def. Justin Gabriel. Gabriel got in a decent amount of offense, considering his spot on the roster compared to Ryback’s. Not the squash you’d imagine.
-Daniel Bryan, The Miz & Dolph Ziggler def. Randy Orton, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns. The match featured WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T serving as the special guest referee.
-The front page of the Tampa Tribune featured a piece by Paul Guzzo on the history of pro wrestling in the Tampa market. The story includes quotes from current WWE personalities Dusty Rhodes and Roman Reigns, as well as other pro wrestling figures, such as photographer Josie Ritter, Eric Solie (the son of the late Gordon Solie) and Tonga Fifita (aka Haku/Meng). Fans interested in checking out that article out can do so online at TBO.com.
-The horror film, “Self Storage,” which features former WWE Superstar and ECW original Tommy Dreamer, has been added to the “Instant Viewing” section of the Netflix website. “Self Storage” is a horror film that was released this year, which is set at a self storage business. Fans who are subscribed to Netflix that are interested in checking that out can do so online at Netflix.com.

As seen Monday night on Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino was honored by the sports-entertainment organization as Jerry “The King” Lawler led Pittsburgh fans in singing “Happy Birthday” to the legendary wrestler (he celebrated his 78th birthday the previous day). Following his live appearance, Sammartino met with various WWE personnel and wrestlers backstage including Vince McMahon and Triple H. The Brooklyn Brawler, who works for WWE in a backstage capacity, tweeted a photo of his backstage encounter with Sammartino, and in a near ‘oops’ moment, almost inadvertently revealed a phone number belonging to the WWE Chairman and CEO.
As Brawler posed for his photo opportunity with “The Living Legend,” he stood in front of piece of paper (labeled “Vince’s Phone Number”) that had been posted on a wall disclosing all but the last three digits of McMahon’s phone number (which were not captured in the digital image, or were cropped out).
It should be noted that the first three digits of McMahon’s phone number, 412, serves as an area code in Pennsylvania, and was likely his office phone number for the night.
Brawler said of his meeting with Sammartino, “It was great to see @SammartinoBruno at #RAW this week, A true #living Legend #WWE.”

– NXT Diva Bayley is the profiled in the latest edition of the NXT 10-Count on WWE.com, where the California native answers 10 questions submitted by fans.
Bayley’s wrestling fandom inspired her to become a wrestler herself. She says of her path to WWE, “I’ve been wrestling for a little more than five years now. I went to my first live wrestling show when I was 12 years old for this independent promotion called Big Time Wrestling in Northern California. Since that night, I never missed a show of theirs. I knew once I was of age and my mom allowed it, I wanted to begin training with them. Once I did, I was wrestling there twice a week for more than four years before I got to come to NXT.”
The article features a picture of a young Bayley wearing a Team Xtreme T-Shirt. She says The Hardy Boyz and Lita, as well as “Macho Man” Randy Savage, The Rock, Lita, Eddie Guerrero, Ivory, Victoria and Triple H, are her wrestling inspirations.
Bayley says she would like to face former WWE Women’s Champion Ivory (when asked which past or present Diva she would like to face). “She was amazing in the ring,” said Bayley. “She would be a huge challenge and I could learn a lot from her. She was also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met – very happy and energetic.”
Bayley also talks hobbies, headbands and whether she would attempt to hug The Undertaker. To read the full interview, click here.

SESCOOPS.COM reader Marc Kruskol from MJK Public Relations sent along the following:
Christopher Daniels just wrapped filming for Susan G. Komen Orange County, California.
Chris will be appearing in Komen Orange County’s second holiday
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month and TNA Impact Wrestling superstar Christopher Daniels just wrapped filming for Susan G. Komen Orange County. Chris will be appearing in Komen Orange County’s second holiday jingle video campaign, which is scheduled to debut just before Thanksgiving. Chris, along with several others, was asked to lend his singing voice to help raise funds for mammograms for underserved and underinsured women and men in Orange County. Chris spent an afternoon belting out new lyrics to the tune of “Jingle Bells” about raising money for breast health. Pro wrestling star Brian Kendrick generously lent himself and his school, Brian Kendrick’s School of Pro Wrestling, for filming. The result, of course, was anything but ordinary. Look for the video on YouTube and all over social media, launching in mid-November.

WWE Hall of Famer Tammy “Sunny” Sytch appeared on The Undisputed Wrestling Show on Thursday, where she discussed the start of her career in the professional wrestling industry, Chris Candido, Paul Heyman swindling her, her upcoming autobiography, and more.
Earlier this week, former WWE creative writer Court Bauer revealed on the MLW Radio podcast that senior producer Michael Hayes was unofficially suspended by WWE for being spotted consuming alcoholic beverages with Rosa Mendes shortly after the Diva performer returned to work following her completion of a rehabilitation program for issues with substance abuse—Mendes returned to the road in August after being sent home in April from a European tour for what was cited by WWE to multiple wrestling news outlets as “personal reasons.” Yesterday, WWE appeared to confirm the report by issuing the following statement to wrestling news outlets: “Michael is taking a leave of absence for personal reasons.”
Sytch, who too addressed her longstanding issues with substance issue in the past year, weighed in on the situation with the following: “I think he is way out of line. As a recovering alcoholic myself, the last thing you want is for somebody to offer you drinks when you are trying to stay sober. If he did that then shame on him.”
Sytch spoke for approximately 75-minutes (listen here). To visit their Facebook page, click here.
Baurer said of Hayes in his podcast, “Because of this lapse in judgment, he was told he’d be basically suspended from school for a few weeks. He’s not going anywhere; he’s still in the company. He’s still very much involved, so it’s not the end of Michael Hayes.”
The co-owner and CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Lorenzo Fertitta, admitted during a recent interview with Fighters Only Magazine that the UFC originally modeled their product on the live event and business structure used by WWE. Fertitta noted, however, that UFC will be changing to be modeled after The Discovery Channel.
“You’re going to see a transformation in our business going historically from where we’ve been operating like an events company. We’re going to transform into a true global media company in the sense that we are really the only entity out there who produces and controls the content,” said Fertitta.
