Some News I Guess: Who's Idea Was On Bringing Vic Joseph And Dio Maddin On Commentary?

Image result for raw
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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes.  Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega.  Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense?  Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade.  Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
