Backstage News On Mathews' Nosebleeds, New WWE TV Show?

? To follow up on earlier reports, the feeling is that when Vince McMahon stated at the WWE shareholders conference on May 1 that WWE was interested in adding another weekly TV show on Wednesday is that he was more posturing if anything. WWE's production crew has been described as being stretched to the limit at this point with taping TV for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The feeling is that while it would be difficult to add another hour of tapings during the week, it wouldn't be impossible. The other thought is that they could simply consider doing a classics show or highlight show. However, nothing has been announced and it should be noted that there haven't been any negotiations to add a new show at this time.

? Josh Mathews' nosebleed at the start of the Draft show a few weeks ago drew plenty of laughter behind the scenes. The ECW announcer has told friends that he has broken his nose a few times and gets nosebleeds every now and then. Mathews has discussed having surgery to correct the problem. As far as his work is concerned, the feeling is he's incredibly nervous, but has paid his dues and deserves the opportunity to call matches for WWE. During his time away from stateside WWE programming, he did a lot of work for the recap shows shown overseas, not to mention DVDs, pre-shows, WWE.com and WWE 24/7.
