Nothing will really change come January. It wont help to have a new driver on the bus when the passengers keep shooting themselves in the feet. Terrible mixed metaphor I know. Only real hope for any change is if the vaccine is widely available and enough people will take it. |

Assuming College Basketball somehow someway has it's season stay on track (Mania is currently scheduled for Elite 8 weekend I think) They should push Mania back and instead have a B-Show PPV with a name they haven't used for PPV lately (RoadBlock or Fast Lane) as long as Mania isn't pushed back to the point where AEW's Spring 2021 PPV Double Or Nothing 3 takes place before Mania 37

Speculating when a vaccinate will be fully distributed is a bit of a gamble. Even if it (hopefully) works, there could be logistic and bureaucratic delays

Honestly even with a potential vaccine this pandemic has done a number on a lot of people financially, so it will likely be difficult for a good percentage of people to justify paying those ridiculous WM prices in addition to airfare, hotel, etc.

I went from having an unlimited bank account through my ex husband to literally down to less than $700 a month. I would never be able to pay for a trip like that and at a time like this for other people regardless of their financial situation I don't think they would realistically spend that much on a Wrestlemania vacation |

Is a few weeks gonna make any difference at this stage, the way the US has handled the pandemic? Statisticians are looking toward May 2021 being the earliest we'll start to have the pandemic under control, so the answer is yes. Last week's election results are going to dramatically change the country's approach to COVID come January, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. |

They should just keep an eye on what the NFL is gonna do. Superbowl is gonna be in Tampa, and I imagine that's where WWE would end up being able to book if they hold it in a stadium. A lot of stadiums have allowed fans inside, and there pushing to have fans at the Superbowl. If it works for the NFL, then book Raymond James Stadium and have fans socially distanced like they're doing at football games. Wouldn't catch me at one of those places, but if the NFL manages to go the whole season at certain stadiums with fans, I don't see any reason why WWE can't for Mania.

Problem is a lot of those fans may not want to come to this country, especially a hotbed like Florida. |

With the number of grown-ass adults regularly throwing very public temper tantrums about having to wear a piece of cloth on their face for 15 minutes while they shop, yeah, I'm guessing the US will be one of the last countries to get over the pandemic, so I'm not sure moving the date is gonna make much difference. It would not surprise me if it's still around in some significant form a year from now, even.

It would not surprise me if it's still around in some significant form a year from now, even. Couldn’t agree more. I work in a store where I have to distribute masks to customers. Most of the time, they will comply, but some will not for no reason. Heck, on Inside Edition, they showed a group of ladies coming into a store chanting loudly that they won’t wear a mask. |

Yup, I work retail and our doorman has literally had to file assault charges against multiple people because they decided to take a swing at him. Over a mask. We even have an anti-lockdown group, from a notorious COVID hotspot, coming to my city to protest this coming Saturday. |

Even if it (hopefully) works, there could be logistic and bureaucratic delays Even if a vaccine becomes available, it will most likely only be available for doctors and people in high risk occupations due to rationing or supply limitations. Commercially available vaccines for lower level occupations and regular folks may not be possible until later in 2021, if not early 2022. Until then, we gotta deal with masks and capacity limits. |
