Coronavirus Discussion Thread

This is spreading fast, I think Wrestlemania will be cancelled, or moved.

Idk how you’d move it at this point. That just doesn’t really solve the problem. It’s not like NXT or SD; you can’t put all those people in the PC. If they make any changes, it’ll be a cancellation or they’ll hold it in front of an empty arena like the NCAA originally planned. The latter is such a financial pitfall though

Already a travel ban for anyone who isn't from the UK.

So most international fans are already fucked.

 

[Necro]

Yeah I'm leaning towards totally cancelled. It's going to be government sanctions on what they can do. The cities won't allow it.

Tampa gonna lose a 200 million dollar weekend if WrestleMania is cancelled and the events from the indie companies are going to fuck them over hard because this is their biggest payday of the year.

 

[Doom]

The NCAA Men's Tournament has officially been cancelled due to the virus. So we're not doing any brackets.

 

[Deezy]

There goes about a billion dollars in lost revenue right there.

 

[Necro]

Yeah Vince won't have control over this one.

 

[Petty]

I think wrestlemania is gonna be canceled too.

 

[Cwalker]

It’s an interesting conundrum. There’s the overused expression that “there is no off season in WWE” so do you cancel Mania but keep running your live TV shows? WWE is like the one company that doesn’t have the benefit of being able to say “we’re gonna pause for a little bit and come back”.

I can’t see how they can keep running live events and just come back to Mania in like May/June

 

[Necro]

Very soon they wont be able to keep running live events. They could probably do it in their performance center, but even then if one wrestler gets it can spread rapidly.

 

[Cwalker]

XFL has officially canceled their season

 

[Cwalker]

Just got a notification from ESPN that as of right now WWE plans on moving forward with WrestleMania but they will keep an eye on the situation
