Why WWE Is Reportedly Doing More Apron Bumps

[Prince Bálor]

You may have noticed the many apron bumps at last night's WWE Battleground pay-per-view, more than a dozen altogether. One of the most impressive apron bumps last night was the splash from Big E.

Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE officials are now having talents do more bumps on the apron, which is actually the hardest part of the ring. For what it's worth, Meltzer noted that this new idea of doing more apron bumps is directly related to Ring of Honor.

Meh, dumb reason.

 

[I'll See Ya Kia]

Those hurt A LOT.

 

[Majour]

Well if Meltzer said it it must be true, right?

[Zany Clowny]

I'm smelling bullshit.

 

[I'll See Ya Kia]

Quite an awkward thing to smell, don't cha think?

 

[Zany Clowny]

Oh, sorry guys. Forgot that gigantic pile of bullshit that's under my bed. Brb.

 

[Dat Girl]

Riiiiiight. I mean, the spots are cool and all, but I doubt that's the reason.

 

[I'll See Ya Kia]

Riiiiiight. I mean, the spots are cool and all, but I doubt that's the reason.

What is the reason?

 

[Stopspot]

That'll show them.

 

[The GOAT]

Well if Meltzer said it it must be true, right?

:fact:

Really? Because before entering the thread I thought to myself "Just another part of WWE's in ring style becoming a watered down knockoff of ROH's style"

 

[Dat Girl]

I think it might be just because the talent from the indies are used to doing that style, and that's why they are doing it. I don't think it's solely the reason that they looked at ROH and thought about it, but more it was suggested. So suppose partly the reason could come from ROH, but I don't see it directly.
