I didn't even think of that! Holy crap When AEW was doing it I was saying why aren't they having people out there in mask and gloves just to continue to drive home the severity of everything WWE copied the approach and if they weren't doing testing then shit was going to go left. At least now shit will be done right but it is still a risk Yeah, my first thought when I saw AEW do it was that they should at least be wearing masks. Not sure why either company decided against that, it's not like the TV audience is looking at the crowd, and I doubt people outside wearing masks was going to distract from the in ring stuff. With NFL and MLB players testing positive, combined with now wrestling, it's becoming easier to see why sports returning is such a delicate issue. There's a lot of risk, even if precautions are being taken.

Because f*** human lives, we've got money to make. When are people going to start getting that this virus isn't operating on their watch and that it doesn't care about their bottom line? How many more people have to either die or live with serious lifelong health complications? I can't even with these people...

I blame this on Florida and so many other states being so quick to open things up, which are the states that have quickly become hot spots. As we can clearly see, pretending a deadly pandemic doesn't exist doesn't make it go away. It also puts a nail in the coffin in the "it doesn't spread in hot weather" argument considering the bigger areas of growth right now are Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. And none of those are places that exactly have mild summer weather.
Is WWE actually doing regular COVID-19 tests now or still just taking temperatures and hoping no one is asymptomatic?

Same message but directly from WWE: "Since that time, no other individuals that attended the facility have reported symptoms." Hey, Dr Jeff, thanks for sharing a factoid that means jack f***ing shit. Testing folks after this isn't "an abundance of caution," it's the bare minimum of what they need to be doing. Doing the bare minimum is WWE's philosophy.

Was saying earlier that both them and AEW have been damn lucky but the luck has run out To correlate, with sports they are also going to continue as regular if someone test positive for COVID. They plan to isolate the party and continue as regular while testing everyone It is playing with fire so now we shall see how it works Oh good. Testing and contact tracing for athletes and entertainers. Russian roulette for us plebs. What a terrific system we live under.

WHY WEREN'T YOU TESTING EVERYONE ALREADY YOU IDIOTS!? As per HHH, on the NXT In Your House conference call on 6/4/2020, the answer was "Once widespread testing that is accurate is available, we will do that." ( citation, Wrestling Observer) So, I'm not sure why they're testing NOW when they weren't before, but I'd wager it's not because "the Cerebral Assassin" created a more accurate test in the last twelve days.

Note that nowhere is it stated that WWE's testing found the case. Very likely, whoever it was took the test outside of WWE and reported the findings back to them.

Absolutely (and I now think I better understand what you were saying -- not that you were necessarily correcting what I said as much as adding, "oh, guess what their previous practices missed and someone else found out by chance?". But anyway here's what I typed a minute ago...)The question I was tracking down was "WTF weren't they testing already?" HHH's PR on that 12 days ago was "there's no test that's accurate enough and available enough." That stunk to high heaven then, it stinks worse now that they ARE testing, are now backed into the corner of having to do the right thing -- because, surprise f***ing surprise, people would like to know their test results when their employer Independent Contract Holder put their lives and the lives of their friends and family in danger.

Wrestling's covid format has been dangerous from the start and I really hope that this doesn't turn out as badly as it could.

Why is it that every time something goes wrong, Vince is still ready to stubbornly charge headlong through without changing a thing until, USUALLY, the last f***ing minute where it feels like he's shackled and forced to take what should be normal human precaution? It's disturbing at this point how many times that has happened even within this past year.

Good thing they weren't testing before this happened, simply to protect Vince's poor little fragile ego.
Poor wittle Vinny was big mad that COVID-19 was inconveniencing him, so he refused to have actual coronavirus testing done.

PWInsider are reporting that they're going to resume taping on Wednesday, so it's going to be super busy with next week's RAW, next week's SmackDown and two episodes of NXT all being taped.
