WWE probably has some type of insurance if Tampa cancels it & not them. Vince is just trying to wait them out so he doesn't lose out on everything in this situation.

they absolutely do have insurance on the event. WWE (like the NFL does with the Super Bowl) holds the city financially accountable in the contract if the city cancels the event.

Tampa (and likely the state of Florida) will be on the hook to pay a massive penalty if they cancel the event. probably something like what the Wrestlemania live gate revenue was last year.

the strangest thing about all this is people seem to think it just gonna “go away” in a month

shyt is gonna return mutated and kill us all
It’s possible it mutates but the lasting effects on people with upper respiratory issues younger likely is being ignored. I’m pretty sure two people I know had it and have been feeling side effects such as shortness in breath for a month despite none of the other sickness issues. Report came out that potentially 30% of lung effectiveness decreased in some of the people that had corona. And now they report that a new born just tested positive for it

Yes it will return mutated, in the same way influenza and common cold mutates and comes back every season. This will be just an added thing to be aware of in the fall/winter that you get a shot for hoping doctors predicted the right strain that season. This one is new and scary and it is important to keep it contained as the fatal rate is much more than the normal flu, but I wouldn't expect everywhere to just shut down every fall/winter after this, although it would be kind of rad.

I don't know how these companies are going to go back to pretending they can't give sick days or let people work from home or resume data caps, etc, etc, etc. Or going back to normal healthcare company bullshyt. That's the real silver lining of the whole thing. Things that were broken are forced to be fixed and you can't go back now.
