We're at 16 matches announced and hopefully there won't be any more. Really think probably at least half of these could be cut without losing anything of worth anyway. I felt sorely tempted after Raw to change the OP to list everyone by their real name but I figured it better not to. You should probably just do it for the Styles/Taker match, since thatβs where theyβre doing it.

You know, I thought that this show was pirate-themed because it was in Tampa, not because it's a sinking ship full of disease.

Does any one know if they are goung to go through with the action being surrounded by videos of fans reacting? If they do couldnt they make it optional like with fan vision or without fan vision?

I'll be watching. Have to. It's WrestleMania and I have not missed one live since 2000.
I have seen every WM either live or on tape when that came out for rental since WrestleMania IV! I watched the first 3 much later and I don't think I've made it to the end of WrestleMania II yet, because that was so f***ing rotten, and it doesn't have the historical gravitas of the first one. I don't remember at what point I usually click it off, but I don't think I've watched the whole of WM2.
So yeah, I'm watching. My expectations are low.
But let me tell you something, we'll need stellar announcer work AND stellar in-ring storytelling for this not to be the worse major PPV ever. Some people will understand than TRULY, pro wrestling is nothing without the crowd.

Florida's governor (finally) issued a stay-at-home order for the state starting tomorrow and lasting throughout the month. This is likely going to affect Wrestlemania even more, assuming it doesn't make WWE have to outright postpone.

Is it all taped or were there still some live segments planned?

So past next week WWE will have no new programming for a month ? Any logical person given the situation America and the world is in, they'd say okay it can't be helped but vince McMahon isn't logical or not often anyway. You know he has WWE lawyers going over the Florida governors order seeing how WWE can still tape stuff. This is something over which vince has no control over and I'd say deep down it kills him.

Of course it would, but this thing is hurting EVERYONE like that. From the megalomaniac billionaire right down to the mom-and-pop corner shop.

Could just film in a different state if they really wanted. Their ring/production setup can go anywhere.

Now that I think about it, why did they decide to stretch this over two nights? Youβd think theyβd just wanna get it over with.

Oh yeah true since Takeover was canceled. That makes sense.
