3. P.N. News On Being Accussed Of Stealing Money In WCW
During a recent appearance on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, former WCW Superstar P.N. News talked about the incident when he was accused of stealing money of other wrestlers. Below is what he said:
“There was an issue where some money went missing in the dressing rooms over in London and actually I was one of the guys that lost my money as well but I got smeared with being the guy who took the money. About six months later they caught the guy, it was a referee that was stealing all the money but they put it on me and after we got back from the British tour which was actually the first tour WCW had ever done in Europe me and Rick Rude had a little bit of a scuffle over nothing. He just said to me be careful what you say to the office.”

P.N. News also talked about his WCW run coming to an end after he was so over with the crowd:
“In those days you filmed the TV’s for a month and did something like 24 matches. I had only been used once that day and Dustin (Rhodes) had been on twice already and I was in the eighth match. The thing was that the people were quiet all night and when my music started playing the people went nuts and were dancing and going crazy. When I came back to the dressing room the only guy waiting for me was Ricky Morton and he started telling me a story and said ‘to watch my back’ because basically you just out-shined the Booker’s kid and after that things really started changing for me. I didn’t want to believe it but that’s the politics of wrestling.”
