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: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
