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.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
