Homecoming: Surprise Return Kicks Off WWE Royal Rumble

Welcome back! Commentary is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show as they are there to guide you through the show. The team, or occasionally solo broadcaster, will explain what you are seeing and what you should be noticing. Having the right commentary team is a tricky ordeal to pull off but now WWE has one of its more popular commentators back behind the mic. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not For Her: Update On Why Ronda Rousey Is Not Working The WWE Royal Rumble Pat McAfee made his surprise return to the WWE commentary team this weekend at the Royal Rumble. McAfee was brought out before the first match began and joined Michael Cole and Corey Graves on commentary.

Stick Around: WWE Announces Long Term Contract Extension For Popular Broadcaster

Stick around for a bit. Commentary is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show. The broadcasting team is tasked with telling the fans what they are seeing and why it is important. They help guide the fans in the right direction and give them the stories that the promotion wants to present. Having the correct voices out there is very important, and now WWE has locked up one of its more prominent voices for a good while. WWE has announced that SmackDown broadcaster Pat McAfee has signed a multi-year extension with WWE that will keep him with the company for the forseeable future. There is no word on how long the extension will last. McAfee has been broadcasting SmackDown since April 2021 and has also wrestled, defeating Theory at WrestleMania 38. He is scheduled to face Happy Corbin at Summerslam. Opinion: This is the kind of thing that makes all the sense in the world for WWE as you would want to keep someone as good as McAfee around. Ignoring McAfee’s following from his ..

Lineup Change: AEW Switching Up Broadcasting Team

Change of call. Commentary is one of the most important parts of any wrestling show as the commentary team is your guide for the night. They are there to tell you what is going on, why you should care and what matters with everything you are watching. That can be easier said than done in a lot of cases, so finding the right lineup matters. AEW seems to be shaking things up a bit. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW will be changing the commentary lineup around. Jim Ross will now be calling Rampage, which also calling the second hour of Dynamite. That was the case this week, as Ross will be calling Rampage while also calling the Blood & Guts match, which took up the second half of Dynamite this week. There is no word on why AEW made the change. Opinion: This is something that makes a bit of sense, as Ross is in a place where he can be more effective in spurts rather than calling the whole show. Maybe the break in between for him helps as well, though it is still the same amount..

More Former WWE Stars Added To Upcoming Independent Event

It’s one of the important parts. Commentary is one of the most critical aspects of any wrestling promotion. The commentary team is there to tell the fans the story that the company wants to present and guide them on the way. The right team can do all kinds of good things for a promotion and now one of the newest ones has picked up a veteran commentary team of its own. Wrestling Entertainment Series, a new promotion based in the United Kingdom, has announced that former WWE broadcasters Jonathan Coachman and Matthew Rehwoldt, also known as Aiden English, will be the company’s new commentary team. This marks Coachman’s first wrestling appearance since 2018, when he was part of the Monday Night Raw commentary team.

Welcome back. Commentary is one of the most important parts of a wrestling show. The commentary team is there to tell you what is going on but also to guide fans in the direction the company is wanting. That is easier said than done and the right team is hard to put together. Next week is going to feature someone very familiar who is not around all that often anymore. WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler has announced via his Instagram Stories that he will be back on commentary next week on Monday Night Raw. This will be the second straight week on commentary for Lawler, who is replacing Corey Graves as he is on his honeymoon with Carmella. Lawler has done commentary for WWE on and off for about thirty years but has only made occasional appearances on Monday Night Raw in recent years. Opinion: Lawler is kind of perfect for a spot like this as he is both familiar but also someone who is not around very often and still feels special. I’m not sure how long he is going to be around but at leas..

He found a new home. Commentary is one of the most important parts of a wrestling show and it can make all the difference in the world if done right.

That can be tricky to get right, but now you will be able to hear a familiar voice a lot more often. This weekend at Impact Wrestling Hard To Kill.

Several More Details On WWE’s New Coronavirus Policies

They have a plan for that. As has been the case for about two years now, the Coronavirus pandemic is one of the biggest stories in the world. The wrestling industry has taken a beating of its own, as promotions are trying to figure out the best way going forward. This is certainly the case in WWE as well, and now we know more about what the company is doing about the situation. Earlier this week, news broke that WWE was changing its Coronavirus policy by ending mandatory regular testing. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the new policy is said to be similar to the NFL’s. WWE is requiring that any wrestler who tests positive take an antigen test on the fifth day. Should they pass two such tests twenty four hours apart, they will be allowed to return to work. This falls under the new CDC guidelines, which recommends five days of quarantining after a positive test. In addition, WWE is requiring that anyone working backstage at an event wear a mask at all times, with fined ..

You Might Not Be Seeing Jim Ross On AEW TV For A Little While

It’s a fair reason. Commentary is one of the most important things about any given wrestling show as they tell the fans what they are supposed to see. They are basically the tour guides of a wrestling show and it can be very important to hear what they have to say. Now though, we might not be hearing from the most famous commentator in wrestling history for a bit. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW’s Jim Ross will begin twenty two straight days of radiation therapy on Monday to treat his skin cancer. As a result, Ross could be missing a few weeks of AEW television, which would include three episodes of AEW Dynamite. Ross has not announced that he will be missing any shows. There is no word on who would replace Ross if he is unable to work the shows. Ross has been a big deal in AEW.

AEW Makes Permanent Change To Commentary Team

A new voice. Commentary is one of the most important parts of a wrestling show. The commentary team guides the fans through what they are watching and tells them where the promotion wants them to go. That is the kind of thing that can make or break a show and the wrong commentary team can be a bit of a mess. Now we are seeing an adjustment to one such team. AEW’s Ricky Starks was recently interviewed by WrestleTalk and revealed that he would be replacing Mark Henry as a permanent commentator on AEW Rampage. This comes after just six episodes of the show, with Henry being on commentary team since the beginning. Henry has still been conducting interviews before the main event. It is not clear if he will continue in this role going forward, or what else he will be doing for AEW. Starks is talented enough. Check out what he has done during his time in AEW: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] ..

WWE Changes Its 2021 Summer Pay-Per-View Schedule

Sometimes change can send you to hell. Money in the Bank is typically the pay-per-view event that we see in June, in which competitors attempt to climb a ladder and retrieve a briefcase that guarantees them a shot at a world title. However, that will not be the case this year. Tonight at the WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view event, WWE aired a promo announcing that their next event will in fact be Hell in a Cell, which will stream exclusively on Peacock on Sunday, June 20. This was originally when Money in the Bank would have aired. Check out the promo video for the show: [This post contains video, click to play] It is unknown the reason for the change or when Money in the Bank will now be held. Editor’s Opinion: The more that I think about this, the more it makes sense. Money in the Bank is an event that needs to be held in front of fans and with the CDC updating their guidelines, this may happen sooner than we think. Plus, with the results of the main event of WrestleMania Ba..

Update On Excalibur’s AEW Status

Welcome back? Commentators are some of the most important parts of a wrestling show as they serve as the viewers’ guides. They tell you what is going on, where things are going, and tell the stories that the companies want. That makes the choices for commentators one critical decisions a company can make. A major company had to make a change in recent weeks but that change is coming to an end. Modern wrestling has offered wrestling fans a lot of benefits, including the ability to watch almost anything they want. These days, wrestling is saved online and a fan can find every show they choose. At the same time though, this isn’t the best situation every now and then as you can see some things that are not as well remembered. That is the case with certain promos, one of which got an AEW personality in trouble. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Excalibur is expected to return to the AEW commentary team during the August 26 edition of Dynamite. This comes after he has missed..
