Pro Wrestling and the Coronavirus: WWE deemed essential by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Never thought I’d live to see the day that WrestleMania is in an empty arena like Halftime Heat, or even cancelled a year. Hell, just the thought that one of those two options could happen

They might fukk around and do WrestleMania from the Performance Center.

It's insane to even think about WrestleMania looking like an episode of NWA Powerrr.

John Cena and Bray Wyatt doing NWA Powerrr style promos would be fantastic lol

I go every year but I got moms/pops aunt and uncles to think about so im skipping this year besides the card weak ass hell Goldberg/reigns drew/brock idk who bayley fighting and Charlotte going for the nxt title smh naw im good

IF WM is postponed and/or cancelled. Part of me would be mad. But the other part of me would at it cause it would serve Vince right for booking bullshyt, feeding it to the fans, and then try to make a profit off it.

That’s the universe telling Vince that he needs to do right

people ARE DYING wtf breh have some compassion its bigger than the card breh

I'd be surprised if this happens now. Major events are already getting cancelled and postponed.

I wouldn't put it past Cokeboy to green screen the crowd. At least he'd finally get Roman cheered at Mania

I say they will cancel it since people from all over the world come to that

It will probably depend on what other large scale events in the US do between now and then. Obviously the more tests there are, the numbers are going to go up, probably significantly, cases are popping up from coast to coast even with minimal testing. But I have no idea what the logistics of cancelling an event like that with as you said all the flights and hotel stays from all around the world. It's something they'd have to do so a good week and a half or more before the show to accommodate all the people flying in and renting rooms and shyt.

I would say at a minimum for the talent sake the should cut Axxess, but a stadium full of 10s of thousands of wrestling fans from all around the globe no doubt from areas that have cases, in a city that has cases, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. The city might take the decision out of Vince's hands.


But I can see it go various directions:


Vince saying absolutely fukking not, regardless of warnings and suggestions from the city/government, running PR videos about how brave they were to do so

Vince agreeing to cancel the show, running PR videos about how much they care about their fans and the sacrifice they made to keep them safe.

The city of Tampa saying no and Vince being furious and never running a show in Tampa ever again.


If they cancel WM, that would mean they'd probably need to cancel all upcoming shows, though.

I wouldn't be surprised if we wind up with some Raws/Smackdowns from the PC at this rate.

Goldberg/Roman in front of an empty arena so no one can boo

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

DarkMania. Flip it, book it.

Wonder if they give refunds or Vince be like .

 

[WaveMolecules]

An empty Wrestlemania would be crazy just to see how they pull it off.

hopefully they’ve taken diligent notes from all the 10pm Charlotte promos every Monday.

Ask South By Southwest.

They're infamous for not giving refunds, but they're either going to capitulate for PR, or be overwhelmed by the growing amount of chargebacks.
