I'm just here for the ride brother.

I do wonder about TakeOver tho since one of the matches I was looking forward to was Finn/WALTER and travel bans could affect that
If he's not currently in the country, it most likely isn't happening. There is a travel ban from Europe atm.

No one said it would or wouldn't be terrible, you just can't uphold storylines for 3 months when you have TV commitments.

A lot of other people for TV commitments and aren’t doing tv. Not really all that hard to do. Vince just doesn’t care about the fans is all.

I bet the logistics of postponing it didn't work out - it's a LOT to reschedule, it's not just Mania - it's Raw, Smackdown, the HOF and Axxess and a bunch of other stuff.
As I was saying. You have every Raw and SD for 8 plus weeks, and WWE has two more PPVs in those 6-8 weeks as well.

I don't think that's fair to say when both choices were terrible from some fans perspective.

I was referring to the Raw and SD they'd be holding before and after Mania in Tampa lol, but I get your point heh.

I don't think anyone was saying you had to watch tbh.
Oh I know. I probably wasn’t watching regardless if it were in Tampa, Orlando, etc

Some fans or all fans? Which is worse? Now all the fans are screwed from going, over some.

I'd speak for yourself because there are many, many fans thanking WWE for running Raw and SD right now when people have nothing to do. I mean, who wants WWE to shut down the entire show for 2 months so one show can be in front of a crowd?

Also, WWE is making a billion dollars from those TV deals. Vince isn't pissing them off for no reason.

But you're only thinking about the live fans. What about the viewing audience? We can now watch some form of Mania, not a version we want and obviously it's not a good enough version for you, but it could be for some fans

I've personally seen many tweets, each of which got thousands of retweets, thanking WWE for keeping the shows going in the PC.

Almost every entertainment industry has shut down and WWE is one of the things still trying to entertain its fans.

I mean I’m glad we got weekly TV sure. But meh. I just don’t like the idea of your biggest show in front of no one. No pops for the wrestles big moments.

I get that too, but this quarantine is lasting another month or so and if you hold up Mania, this affects two months of programming.

I guess I just care to much about people who paid money and now don’t get to go. They better damn well get a refund because if not, that’s fucked.

I've personally seen many tweets, each of which got thousands of retweets, thanking WWE for keeping the shows going in the PC.

Almost every entertainment industry has shut down and WWE is one of the things still trying to entertain its fans.

And I’ve seen many saying the exact opposite as well.
