Not surprising. Unlike the sports coming back next month, I’m almost certain the WWE took absolutely no precautions in terms of distancing, masks, testing, etc. They kept filming during the first peak of the virus, and haven’t stopped with the most recent surge. Vince being a scumbag who only cares about himself and his money is nothing new. If you believe in karma, Vince is due for a huge dose of it someday. If you believe that with all you said then he'll be President before long.

Last week, it was the outed perverts. This week, it was the COVID positives. The accelerationist in me says next week Vince McMahon is arrested for something tied to the XFL. Two weeks after that, the WWE ceases operations. Three weeks...global economic collapse. Four weeks...nuclear holocaust. Five weeks...Dave Meltzer retires.

Trust me, we’d survive without WWE. Stop f***ing filming, you idiots. They have thousand of hours of old wrestling footage they could use, there is no good reason for this to continue to whatsoever. Monday: Old Raws Wednesday: Prime Time Wrestling Friday: Old Smackdowns. There!

It isn't just wrestling. EVERYBODY is being stupid. Sports in general are opening even as more and more players test positive. States are opening and then getting hit with higher spikes in weeks. It's a problem with the country in general. Basically here in America, the Covid only kills old people so we don't care. I've heard that so many times...to be real though we are way to selfish of a society to care about anything for more than 5 minutes.

I can only be mad about WWE specifically being so reckless with its lack of precautions until it was too late. Society as a whole is f***ing up in its response to this pandemic and WWE's only part of the crowd there. I chiefly blame Florida, et al for enabling all this crap to begin with.

It's a problem with the country in general. The sad thing is, if every state did what NYC/NJ did, which was a 2 month full shutdown followed by slowly easing restrictions, then we’d likely be in a much better place as a country. Unfortunately, some states took it seriously, and others didn’t care at all, and unfortunately all of us were the pawns in that game.

Again, all depends on the location and precautions taken. Not that I don't agree with you but it's better right now for New Zealand, Germany and (from next week) Ireland to try and start sports again then the United Kingdom, Brazil or the US. ESPECIALLY with numbers going up constantly and none of those governments even giving an inch of a damn. It is of course better in countries where they treated it like it was a big deal.... In the US I guess it really depends on the State. In NY we're all of the sudden one the more well doing states, but IDK if thats because we were hit hard first. But we seem to not be f***ing around. Things are calmer but not normal as if nothing ever happened.

I have a gut feeling the WWE will end up keeping their cases low by stopping all testing and trying to keep that fact silent.
And if that happens I hope they pay dearly for it.

Until Vince is legally told to stop he isn't . Remember his buddy wanted to open up America at Easter.

Yeah for those of you hoping WWE goes somewhere else to film, there aren't many locations that are easily accessible that will let WWE film there. Connecticut is one location I see listed often, but they just put a mandatory 14 day quarantine order in place for anyone travelling in from Florida. Two weeks is lot less time than it's going to take for Florida to be safe again.

You guys remember the Simpsons episode where Sideshow Bob steals the nuclear bomb and demands that Springfield eliminates television?
Vince McMahon is basically Krusty. He'll use the Emergency Broadcast signal located inside the shack at Alkaline Flats. Drew McIntyre is Professor Gascan. And Angel Garza is the picture of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

While WWE hasn't been as good as they should have been previously with precautions although they haven't been reckless, but given how nuts Florida has gotten with the virus spike it was going to happen.

Any chance of a Wrestletaint.gov breaking news audio about this news?

I'm considering another place to hold shows that isn't Florida soon, that state's not getting any better... They're in Florida for the same reason Florida's infections are spiking; public health is less of a priority than the grifters with the deepest pockets.

I was confused when the shot the crowd the other week and showed what looked like someone’s grandpa. I get contracted talent in the crowd but friends and family I think is a bit much.
The story is now on TMZ as well.

Oh damn, I'm literally 1 hour behind on the news and this is happening. At this point you have to wonder why this is the length they have gone for fake fighting. Because wrestling is a carny business and they will keep pushing the envelope until they can't anymore Dana White proved he was the King of Carny by getting a f****ing island for his fighters to fight on. Wrestling isn't far behind Dana White got a island and he DID NOT make it a Battle Royale for the UFC Title,dude clearly doesnt know how to be rich.

Trust me, we’d survive without WWE. Stop f***ing filming, you idiots. And temporary go to reruns for the Forseeable future, 90 minute Smackdown reruns with Last Man Standing (The Tim Allen sitcom) as a lead in to the reruns?

The worst part then is that you have the group of people that said no the the quarentiens and lockdown,saying "see how they don't work" when its their GODDAMN FAULT IT DIDNT WORK. But that is for another thread.

I wonder if all this attention will finally get them to shut down for a while.

So, unless Hunter and Vince have been staying in Florida, this means neither of them can go to the tapings with the intention of flying home, because there's a two week mandatory quarantine for people coming from Florida to CT/NJ/NY effective midnight tonight.
