Lashley is in self quarantine, so he made the tapings and then isolated himself?

Seems so thats what daniel bryan is doing

Tbh they should've tried to hold Wrestlemania as the first event the day the stadium gets cleared for business; they've got a history with this shyt - first live audience show after 9/11... with all these changes, it's gonna be hard for whatever they put together this weekend to feel like Wrestlemania... and it's just possible they'll land themselves an unnaturally large audience with everyone bored at home and WWE Network free. It could hurt them as much as anything.

What they should do, is what AEW is doing and taking the fukking piss. I'm pretty much a floating voter with these companies, but Jericho cutting a promo on a drone and Matt Hardy teleporting around an empty arena is exacly what wrestling companies should be doing right now. A lot of these guys can be funny - let them go... some stars will be made. Sammy Guevara will be a bigger star post-COVID.

Can Wrestlemania.

Do an HONEST best-effort entertainment and gimmick-wrestling show, but don't call it Wrestlemania.

Call it WWE In Our House

FOX TO OFFER WRESTLEMANIA PPV NON-EXCLUSIVELY, MORE WWE/FS1 CONTENT

With days to go before their first-ever fully taped WrestleMania, WWE and Fox Sports have signed a deal that will see this year's big event available via their pay-per-view outlets in addition to more WWE content coming to FS1.

The news was first broken by Sports Business Journal's John Ourand and was announced by Fox as well.

Both FoxSports.com and their Fox Sports/Fox Now apps will offer a WWE PPV for the first time as WrestleMania will come with a $59.99 price tag for both nights. FS1 will also produce a WrestleMania pre-show for both nights.

WrestleMania will still be available on WWE network and other PPV providers where available.

Additionally, FS1 will air 22 hours of archived and new WWE programming which begins Tuesday with the 2020 Royal Rumble. Additional one hour shows include WrestleMania 31, 33, and 34, and episodes of WWE 24 and Ruthless Aggression.

As part of that 22 hours, Fox announced a new one-hour show called 'Best of WWE' that will feature Steve Austin, HHH, John Cena, Ric Flair, Brock Lesnar, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Shawn Michaels, Roman Reigns, and the Undertaker.

WWE Backstage also remains on the schedule and will return live in its current remote format Tuesday.

Vince out here taking advantage of maybe one of the most content hungry sports networks.

The fukking GALL of expecting someone to pay $60 for this shyt is absolutely mind boggling. Especially since they're still selling the show on matches that aren't going to happen.

I say this all the time, but if this were literally ANY other sport/industry, the hammer would've BEEN dropped on these carny fukks.

 

[TheAlbionist]

Why would anyone buy that when the Network is free at the moment?

 

[Brad Piff]

Vince stay making money moves and the marks stay being mad.

 

[The Rainmaker]

60 bucks for some pre-taped warehouse show? IndyMania indeed.

If you plugged in enough to use FITE you should be plugged in enough to sign up to the Network

I can understand some old out of touch muthafukkas still using PPV TV but wtf would they use FITE over the Network?

I think it's more about the international territories they mentioned more than anything. I'm not going to research it myself, but I'm willing to bet that slot of that are markets where the network has little or no availability.

They're really trying to find the dumbest possible way to recoup some of the lost revenue of having people attend the show. They finally met the point where the decisions to put live PPVs on the network and probably under pricing the network are coming back to bite them in the ass. It just took a baby Captain Trips sweeping the globe for it to happen.

"The WWE Network is currently available through 186 out of 193 United Nations member states"

They are going for that fake money from those unrecognized one man nations

I was reading some twitter comments and apparently some areas have shytty internet connections so streaming on a phone or app through your tv isn’t really ideal.
