Really hope they mean smaller venues. Say they wanted to run the arena in Orlando, which for argument's sake is 17,000 for wrestling, they'd have a max of 4,250, and even that is super risky and a lot of people to process. And there's not even a guarantee you'd get that many people in the arena so you're left with a situation where aesthetically, it'd look like the failure of a really ambitious indie and unless all those 4,250 people buy merchandise, it becomes a worse money loss than house shows have been.

One person gets sick, and it’s over. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

I hope like heck they can safely pull off the fans thing. The empty arena shows are generally blah to me through no fault of their own.

The plans apparently call for up to 25% capacity from next week, and up to 50% capacity as of May 18th. I can't see how this can succeed in any way.

Even if they manage to make it work locally, they're not going to be able to tour outside FL for some time yet.
There's also the question of whether fans are that eager to violate the spirit of the restrictions. A fanbase that leans leftish politically is also more likely to observe these restrictions and for longer. It's one thing to go back to work; it's quite another to gather in an enclosed venue with hundreds of others, many with questionable hygiene despite the guidance, for an entertainment by a company whose response has been largely tone-deaf and opportunistic.

100% net proceeds to charity is nice.

At the very least, the very least, the net proceeds are going to charity so there's that.

The Ali and Kane masks are pretty cool. Not going to be in stock until June 1. Boo!

It's great if these profits are going to charity! If I was 12 I'd so buy the Triple H, Kane and The Fiend one. * Becks and Sasha are simple and that's how they should be. * WWE Championship one is way to hold the gold 'round * Rated R Superstar is kinda kinky. * And so is Belair's "I go here NOW", I don't know where the catchprase comes from but it's funny in a face mask.

The Fiend one is a good way to scare people into staying home, especially those who don’t watch wrestling and don’t know who he is.

Belair told Charlotte she doesn't even go "here" to NXT at the time before Charlotte beat Ripley for that brand's Women's Title. Now, the problem is Charlotte still showing up on Raw and NXT.

It is basically a situation where they lose nothing but it is still something good at very least.(Even if I think ordering shipping doesnt help the fight). It is better than that Sports campaign(that I bet all involved are on the "econony" comitte.No PR move will excuse then of their scumminess in this situation. I feel like you know straight donations,charity campaigns or shipping the masks to those in need are much better.

When the crowds start showing up again, Vince seems like he'd have the Bushwackers march down and lick everyone at ringside on the 1st show...

Tweet from the Mayor of Boston, host of SummerSlam this year:
"I can announce that parades and festivals will not take place this summer in the City of Boston, up to and including Labor Day on September 7."
Yep, can't see it taking place there as scheduled.

Question to all:
If the WWE had a performer who tested positive. Does the show go on like UF-COVID 249 will?
Not a good look for them.
