what is up guys welcome back to the roundup keeping you up-to-date on all
the latest news in pro wrestling and there is a lot to talk about because I'm
a complete jobber and we haven't done a roundup in four days mostly due to the
fact that there was a lot of WWE 2k 20 content which I got to play and record
early so the last day we had to get a lot of videos uploaded for the game but
the point is right now we're back covering all the latest news and there
is a lot to go over with the WWE Draft just officially being over and feeling
like it was one of the worst draft in recent memory
we got massive report on big backstage news that we ended up getting of Eric
Bischoff being fired from the WWE already lots of interesting reports
regarding that WWE were poorly changing and canceling big plans for one of the
top superstars a crown jewel all of the free agents officially traded to a brand
and WWE making an extra tray which hardly makes any sense we're also
talking the rating droppings WWE lack of plans and much more before we get into
it though you guys already know make sure to elbow drop it and hit those
notification if you haven't just yet to not miss any of the coverage anyways
let's get into it and let's start off with some of the latest news regarding
the WWE draft as during WWE backstage show we ended up learning via Triple H
that the blockbuster trade between Smackdown and Raw with none other than
Alexa bliss and Nikki crossing team going to the blue brown on Friday nights
this was build up by saying quote unquote trade even though Monday and I
wrote didn't really get anybody for the Trey and it is a KO made by Bruce
preacher who just replace Eric Bischoff as the executive director or Smackdown
life and we'll talk about that for sure but keeping up with the draft
specifically with this blockbuster trade it was a bit upsetting how WWE ended up
advertising this for it to just be stars that were already drafted on the first
night so first they drafted these two woman's as actual single drop picks on
the first night so that is a complete waste of two spots already if you knew
you were trade them to begin way it is WWE just
making the drop even more useless because you know and I after it's over
you end up making a drive to revert a decision I live for the day that WWE
doesn't make logical decisions like this on top of everything then you ended up
drafting them as an actual team when they each took is part of the original
roster again it just it hardly makes any sense the way the WWE go from Friday to
Monday and into Tuesday reverting the decision back and forth that drop pick
could have been used for someone like Cesaro who definitely deserves better
than being left out meanwhile you got guys like Jinder Mahal who hasn't
competed WWE and forever getting traded before certain superstars who are in the
roster on a weekly basis real talk this Drive was a complete mess sticking with
Cesaro as I said he was one of the free agents and on this week's edition of the
bump WWE revealed where other other superstars are gonna be headed to so it
Smackdown one's gonna be getting Cesaro look Harper Mandy rose and Sonia De Vil
Dana Brooke and Drake maverick meanwhile Monday Night Raw it's gonna be getting
the iconic Sarah Logan mojo Rowley Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins ain't no way Jose
looking forward to see if they do anything with Cesaro and Luke Harper on
the blue brand but we could only hope right it's also worth mentioning that
Luke Harper was split from ever growing as ever growing is going to Monday Night
Raw now this is hardly a fan of this
decision because now we're back to look Harper of course probably not doing
anything since we know Vince McMahon is apparently not the biggest fan of him so
that is extremely unfortunate what we need to some other news every Bischoff
it's no longer with the WWE this of course came as a shocker and hey he's
already selling t-shirts that says fired which CM Punk ended up replying to this
tweet asking if he was fired on the wedding day or now because of course
that was when CM Punk got his termination paper from the WWE so that
was a nice shot that he took at them right there back to the big report
though WWE announced early Tuesday morning that Eric Bischoff has been
replaced by Bruce sure as the smackdown executive director
WWE issue a statement on it announcing the change and then later on in the
afternoon ended up confirming to the media that Eric Bischoff is no longer
with the company and has been replaced there was no recent giving up to why he
was fired but again it does come as a surprise considering the fact that he
was hired just late in June along with the new raw executive
director Paul Heyman to always see both of WWE star brand Bischoff even move his
family from Wyoming to Connecticut to be more closer to the WWE headquarters so
that's a lot of things that don't add up but let's go ahead and talk about some
of the backstage news and reports are going around right now according to
several reports Eric Bischoff getting draft from the WWE has come as a
surprise to very few people as it was widely known that a Bischoff was not
performing to the expected standards when Eric Bischoff was hire just a few
months ago it was reported that Bruce pitcher will
be the person helping him settle in the role but that doesn't seem to have
happen at all and clearly it didn't go well according to Bryan Alvarez on the
Wrestling Observer live several people expect their every Bishop departure as
Morell backstage was quote-unquote very low and that the quote-unquote boom
period that was predicted to come with Smackdown moved to Fox never happened
wrestling or several I've noted that he was aware that a lot of people didn't
like working on their Eric Bischoff and that a number of them were close to
quitting because of him reports added that Eric Bischoff early did anything
and was often spotted in catering at least one source indicated that there
were zero good things to say about Eric Bischoff and that there was always a lot
of negative talk it is widely speculated that Eric
Bischoff was simply hired as a scapegoats by WWE so that they will have
someone to fire if something went wrong it was also thought that this could be
the first of a number of firings due to a backstage shake-up all of this
is actually crazy it is of course a developing story and my initial and
simple thoughts on it is this I highly doubt that anything that Eric Bischoff
was doing backstage was actually M practing WWE negatively to begin with
because at the end of the day everything runs through Vince McMahon so they
trying to use the excuse that something been but poorly as of late it's just
hard to blame Eric Bischoff there's also reports indicating that he didn't know
anything about the product which to be fair he actually indicated that he
didn't know anything about the product so he had to learn it all over again
Bishop probably just got some heat backstage with the wrong person once
again and had to get fired again guys I will keep you posted on all of this but
now I'm moving on to some other news it looks like WWE's changing big plans for
Seth Rollins coming up so as we saw this week during Monday and I wrote the
universal Champion Seth Rollins was conferred to be pulling double-duty a
crown jewel he defends his title against the fiend Bray Wyatt in a Falls Count
Anywhere match but also will serve as the team captain for Team Hogan in the
10-man match against team Flair and in an update all of this and according to
multiple reports which is kind of expected WWE will be pulling Seth
Rollins from the team player vs. team Hogan match soon enough as they only
have plans for him to wrestle one match a crown yo and that is the match with
the fiend Bray Wyatt which as I said is he falls
count anywhere match but I can't wait for WWE to somehow make it end in a
double count match hey it's a WWE that can make anything happen so don't even
think about it regardless of whatever stipulation it is don't put it past WWE
to make a screw finish just like that and once again have a Hell in a Cell
main event moment that makes us rage left and right there's no word yet on
who will replace Seth Rollins as team captain for Team Hogan but of course
heading into the event we're gonna find out all about it all the matches
announce of the avantage WWE title match came Belasco versus Brock Lesnar the
world cup tag team turmoil match with the winner becoming the quote-unquote
greatest tag team in the world and join up Shane McMahon in that elite club
clearly Brostrom and versus Tyson Fury Cesaro versus masseur and Roman reigns
versus an opponent that is yet to be announced
moving it some other news a recent Wrestling Observer radio it was
indicated that body Murphy getting drafted to Monday nitro was an absolute
peg by Paul Heyman who've been trying to get him on the red bran and of course he
is an amazing advocate to have backstage Paul Heyman also got alistair black so
expect these two guys to get pushed in the near future
they're finally getting used on television once again so that is a big
plus on to some other news it was also discussed
WWE current strategy especially when it comes to some of the storylines that
they're running we're ratings and so on continuing to drop it doesn't seem like
that even matters and they all once again goes back to the money wrestling
or sever indicated that a lot of crazy stuff every week are set to happen on
Monday Night Raw and SmackDown live because it is almost like we're in this
period where they're gonna throw a whole bunch against the wall and went on to
indicate that there's really no quote-unquote great pressure in the WWE
right now because the money is off the roof they're doing great financially and
this is something that I absolutely hate hearing I see fan of the WWE and just
Pro Wrestling in general I want the company to be doing goods by giving us
actually good show I don't even care how well financially they're doing because I
just know that they're doing well to begin with and none of that money is
coming to me I just want to be able to have good shows and unfortunately with
this rap that we just got it was none of that it felt like it was one of the
worst draft ever and the rating demonstrates because I just smacked down
bro so Monday Night Raw significantly dry which is not good at all because
it's supposed to be a special event it's supposed to be the draft it usually does
great rating for the WWE and yet it did decent on Smackdown but for Monday nitro
is suddenly there now regardless though apparently we are expected to get the
critical crazy storylines on - finally something hits you Salina and Bobby
Lashley story for example where they're just mouthing at what every backstage
segment that they get until hopefully something just finally clicks it was
also indicated that even though the rating for Smackdown live it's down it
was expected to be that way and Fox's squatted Co fine with it
and what's indicated that before phox start panicking those ratings are
gonna have to start dropping a lot much more then a two-point eight which in
technicality is actually fairly good for the WWE or most television in this day
and age so looks like Fox is not worrying but
the way that we're going and the way that this last couple of weeks shows has
been booked WWE certainly needs to be improving and changing up and it's
incredible of me even saying this after we just got a draft that was next to
useless because 90% of the roster wasn't even really changed the good thing is
that the wild card is over right on to some other news WWE 205 live and Monday
nitro Superstar my Canales took to Twitter this week and announced that he
has requested his release from the WWE to keep it in simple turns he talked
about how he resigned with the company back in June because it was what was
best for his family financially and he really thought that things were gonna
change for him but it hasn't he continued to only be wrestling one night
a week sometimes even less when WWE doesn't use him and that he doesn't want
to continue away to his pro wrestling year when he know that he could go out
there and give us more so because he want to continue wrestling and he won a
race or more all over the world while he is currently in his prime he has asked
for his release from the WWE to go do everything that he wants outside of it
because that's what really makes him happy and he doesn't want to continue
going home to his daughter and wife and being angry and upset just because of
work so we can add my Canales to the list of unhappy Superstars that has
requested their release unfortunately much like Luke Harper and
so on and more than likely not going to be granted as for Maria Kanellis it's
worth mentioning that she hasn't asked for her release but she indicated that
she does support her husband on his decision anyways guys that is what I got
