Son Of Sweet Georgia Brown Refutes Fabulous Moolah Pimp Allegations

sweet georgia brown fabulous moolah pimp allegations refute not true

Fabulous Moolah‘s name was removed from an upcoming match at WrestleMania 34 partly due to online backlash over an article on Sweet Georgia Brown that claimed the WWE Hall of Famer forced her into sex work — but Brown’s son is now saying the allegations are bs.

Michael McCoy was interviewed for a Change.org petition attempting to “preserve the correct legacy of The Fabulous Moolah” and he’s adamant she didn’t pimp out his now deceased mother.

For those unaware, an article came out in 2006 on McCoy’s attempt to find his father — who he believes is Buddy Lee, Moolah’s ex-husband/business partner — and Michael’s sister told the publication her mother once revealed she was drugged/raped under their watch and badly beaten if she refused to have sex with men sent to her hotel room.

However … her son says, “I come to say today, that’s not true. That’s not true at all. Especially knowing the Moolah that I had grew to know.”

Adding, “I’m not a fake. I’m not a phony and I’m not fronting today. And nobody is coercing me to say what I’m saying. Moolah did the right thing and she helped my mother.”

McCoy also says his sister didn’t like Moolah and implies that she had an agenda.

Below is video of “Road Dogg” Brian James talking to Renee Young at last night’s SmackDown, discussing how he will induct Jeff Jarrett into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 34 weekend in New Orleans.

Dogg does tease a potential performance at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Referee Hits Superkick And Makes Pin In WWE Tapings Dark Main Event, Rusev Impersonates Hulk Hogan

The dark main event after last night’s  WWE 205 Live in Pittsburgh saw WWE Champion AJ Styles and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos defeat Baron Corbin, Rusev and Aiden English in six-man action. Corbin did not appear on this week’s SmackDown broadcast but the others did.

Like dark matches often do, the match featured shenanigans from the start as Rusev came out impersonating WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, air guitar and all. The finish saw WWE referee Danilo Anfibio superkick English while Styles counted the pin.

Below are fan photos and videos from the match:

Road Dogg To Induct Jeff Jarrett Into WWE Hall of Fame

Image result for Road Dogg to induct Jeff Jarrett into WWE Hall of Fame

WWE just announced that “Road Dogg” Brian James will be inducting Jeff Jarrett into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 34 Weekend in New Orleans.

Road Dogg was at ringside for some of Jeff Jarrett’s biggest triumphs inside the squared circle, so it’s only right that he be the person to induct Double J into the WWE Hall of Fame during the 2018 Induction Ceremony on Friday, April 6, during WrestleMania 34 Week.

Road Dogg arrived in WWE in 1994, then known as The Roadie, acting as Jarrett’s gofer as he tried to use WWE to springboard to country music superstardom. In addition to taking care of Double J’s musical endeavors, Road Dogg wasn’t afraid to meddle in Jarrett’s affairs in the ring, either. That led to the beginning of Road Dogg’s in-ring career with WWE, which saw him go on to become a six-time tag team champion and an Intercontinental Champion.

Of course, there’s also musical controversy between the two, as it was also revealed that Road Dogg provided the vocals for Jarrett’s debut single, “With My Baby Tonight.”

What will Road Dogg say when he introduces the six-time Intercontinental Champion and four-time WCW Champion for enshrinement into the WWE Hall of Fame? Find out during the 2018 Induction Ceremony, streaming live on WWE Network Friday, April 6, at 8 ET/5 PT!

Tickets for the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans are available now.

WWE Announced that Shane McMahon suffered an infection due to acute diverticulitis while on vacation with his family in Antigua.

Shane McMahon is currently recovering from acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia in a New York-area medical facility, WWE.com has learned.

Two weeks ago on SmackDown LIVE, McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as the blue brand’s Commissioner. Following that announcement, McMahon was brutally attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. WWE medical staff initially diagnosed him with a laryngeal contusion and trapezius and rhomboid strains as a result of the beating.

Following the vicious assault, McMahon went to the Caribbean with his family to rest and recuperate.  While there, Shane developed a massive infection due to acute diverticulitis and was hospitalized for several days in Antigua before being flown back to a New York-area hospital, where he is currently being treated with heavy doses of antibiotics. The doctors in New York have also discovered that Shane suffered an umbilical hernia during the attack, which will require surgery once the infection has been eradicated.

Stick with WWE.com for further updates on Shane McMahon’s status as they become available.

Shane posted the following update on Instagram:

Thank you everyone for the get well wishes. It truly helps. Im healing up, and I have the best medicine in the world with me.
