I decided given that it's a slow news week, to give you some news that happened in the world of pro wrestling (three WWE news is not the equivalent of that but okay though). So, technically it's the 3 news week which doesn't have the same ring to it as the 5 news week.
WWE The Bump? What Is That!?
Honestly, I've asked myself the same question like a few days ago after looking a headline that says "WWE The Bump Is Coming" or something like that. To give you the full story, WWE has filed a trademark on Sept 16th called "WWE's The Bump" with a description that was given to the United States Patent And Trademark Office:
"A show about professional wrestling; the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing wrestling news and information through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing information in the fields of professional wrestling through broadcast media including television and distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; providing a website in the field of professional wrestling"
After the old school way of putting a bunch of words on autocorrect was revealed, the WWE Bump's twitter account posted 4 audition blooper videos from 4 different personalities which you can click here to check them out. I later found out that this program is kinda different? Here's how PWInsider and Mike Johnson describe this show:
"PWInsider.com is told that The Bump will be a morning talk-show style series that will debut on Wednesday morning 10/2 featuring discussion of WWE-centric topics."
WWE's The Bump will air this coming Wednesday on WWE's various social media platforms. So, there you go. Now you know what the show is all about and if your wrestling buddy doesn't then share this article.
I'm going to check it out because based on reading PWInsider's description, the show sounds like a wrestling equivalent of AMC Movie Talk or something.
Whose Idea Was On Giving Vic Joseph And Dio Maddin The RAW Commentary Team Spots?
We all read the news that the commentary teams for the red and blue brand got a complete reboot but we don't know who suggested this makeover until now at least for the RAW commentary team.
From Jerry Lawler and his interview with Commercial appeal, the idea of bringing on Vic Joseph And Dio Maddin was Paul Heyman's idea. I'll let the king tell you everything:
"It was (Raw's executive director) Paul (Heyman's) idea to put Vic and Dio on Raw, Apparently, what I was told, Vince (McMahon) said, 'You can't throw these two new, young guys on our flagship show. Call King.' That's how it happened."
Adam Cole Suffered An Injury!?
The final news from a very slow news week comes from an injury report coming to you by Dave Meltzer in his Daily News Update and not on the Observer.
Meltzer said that the leader of Undisputed Era was pulled out of the NXT Midwest live tour due to a coast in his right wrist.
We don't know the severity of his injury but according to a medical site called "Coastal Orthopedics", depending on the severity, the recovery time is anywhere from 6 to 24 weeks but keep in mind that we don't know what type of wrist injury Cole has.
With that being said, Adam Cole is scheduled to face Matt Riddle for the NXT Championship this coming Wednesday so we will probably see the updates to this story sooner rather than later.
What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.
