What if the pandemic hit during the Attitude era/Monday Night Wars?

[NOSaintsFan02]

Do you think Vince and Eric would have been able to keep doing the crazy ratings they were doing at the time?

Would the lack of fans hurt the growing star power of guys like Austin and Rock?

How bad do you think the presentation would be without both companies having state of the art training facilities to hold as temporary venues while they rode the pandemic out?

In the 90s with no internet? There probably still would’ve been crowds

 

[Reality Check]

Well, in the late 90's there would at least be a competent President overseeing the response so things could be better sooner instead of this orange fukkboy that's currently in the White House.

 

[Metal Face]

no one would've given a fukk and still allow crowds

 

[HipHopStan]

There were still big crowds during bad flu seasons and during the H1N1 outbreak so I doubt it would've effected it much.

what u mean "no internet"?

the IWC was big in the mid-90s and huge in the late '90s.

Yeah you right, I wasn't alive/was very young around that time so I don't know much about it but I feel like the internet wasn't in many households back then

it was huge.

they even had deals with internet providers:
WCW w/ CompuServe
WWF w/ AOL
and advertised em on all the shows.

How did you reach this conclusion?

I feel like the internet didnt really become as essential as it did until the 2000s after dial up connection stopped being a thing

 

[The Rainmaker]

They would've called it the "Extreme flu" or the "Radical flu".

Sting using his bat to enforce social distancing. Six feet apart or six feet under.

the nWo hand sign would've been replaced by the nWo elbow bump.

Kane would've been the most popular wrestler with tons of masks sold.

Half the ECW roster and audience would've been dead. Except Tommy Dreamer because he just can't leave.
