Dain and Maverick weren't there last night, which I thought was weird. Dain isn’t on his normal podcast tonight either and inhale mr seen spud stream for awhile Drake actually streamed this evening, I got the notification and my friend was watching him, she didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, at least nothing she told me anyway.

Drake and Dain don't raise flags right now. It was already a packed episode, so they can miss an episode.

Yo, I swear folks is living in a different world. I’m in disbelief. How on earth could throwing a party even be a legit thought during a f***ing pandemic? My goodness.
Titus O Neil almost got fired for grabbing Vince’s arm but apparently spreading a virus that could permanently affect careers (people seem to forget we don’t actually know the long term effect it has on the body) can’t be punished. ...yeah ok, lol.

It’s because wrestlers are like college students, young, horny, and think that since the virus likely won’t affect them now like it would others that they don’t have to worry about it and can party. in short: they’re some dumb, stupid f***s.

Like being a wrestler who’s been hit in the head a lot I want to defend other wrestlers but Christ the amount of f***ing stupid people I have ran to in locker rooms is absurd.

The company could be doing a million things to try and stop this or deal with it. They aren't. You have to wonder how seriously the rules are even being treated if people are going in and not wearing masks, not doing what they're supposed to do. That's a failing of the wrestlers, but also a failing of the trainers and staff who aren't enforcing the rules, and of management who aren't on the trainers hard enough. This company on the whole hasn't taken this seriously and hasn't done things the right way and there's a reason they're lagging behind every other major company in handling this.

This is a really bad look. Getting it accidentally or at home around someone is one thing, but actively throwing a party where a bunch of people attend in this climate is so mindnumbingly stupid. WWE PR deals with some new fresh hell every two weeks I swear, if not sooner.
The wrestlers who threw that party need to be punished in some fashion, I don't know about firing, but some sort of action should be taken because that is just a boneheaded move.

As much as people want to go back to normal, throwing parties should be off the table right now. I said it when Khan threw that Memorial Day party and I’ll say it now for the NXT wrestler who threw this. Have to be more responsible.

I know it’s popular to blame wwe management for everything that happens in regards to coronavirus and their initial response was very poor but the men and women of the performance centre and nxt are all grown adults and you expect them to act responsibly and its not wwes job to control them outside of wwe and if the report is true that they felt in the middle of a pandemic then it does make you question to cop on of some of them.

Well, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are about to peace out again. To be fair, Quebec's numbers are the among the highest in Canada right now. Bobby Roode can't be trusting himself to step outside much, either. Now, there have been couple live events in Halifax coming up this fall, but there are some serious-ass restrictions in place - masks, social-distancing, limited numbers of tickets available. That's on top of the bubble currently in place for all of Atlantic Canada. If you come into the bubble from outside, you're required to self-isolate for 14 days. We aren't screwing around with this shit. Nova Scotia has the oldest population in Canada as a percentage of the total, so the restrictions came quickly and hard. And we've seen the results: we've had 65 deaths (the vast majority from one long-term care facility), out of a total of 1,087 cases, for a population of about 970,000. The state with the nearest-size population to Nova Scotia - Delaware - has had 19,947 cases and 630 deaths; almost twice as many cases and and nearly ten times the deaths.

WWE doesn't need to "control" people, but it needs to draw a line: if you're going to parties, you're not getting booked and you're not getting paid. Wrestlers being all over social media in public, sometimes without masks, is just not acceptable, and it is WWE's job to maintain the health and safety of the people it employs. "Oh well they're grown adults so they shoulder all the responsibility" is bunk; some people don't care, and their recklessness is endangering people who do care. WWE overreaches so much on the lives of their wrestlers and for once there's a way they could do some good with it but they just don't care to bother. WWE not impressing upon its wrestlers a sense of gravity and consequences is absolutely a contributing factor. This is the second Performance Center outbreak. The ideal number of outbreaks is obviously zero, but when you've had outbreak number one, that's supposed to be a serious turning point. Hitting outbreak number two is completely unacceptable, and there is a point where WWE has to step in. The past six months have been a running case study in how "individual responsibility" means f***-all when even a small number of people still breaking protocol have been able to keep us stuck in this shit long-term. When it endangers other people on this scale, there's a point where someone has to step in, grab these dumbasses by the scruff, and lock them in a closet.

It’s wwe job to ensure the health and safety of it employees within the confines of wwe, so when they are in the ring or in the PC, or the thunder dome it’s up to wwe to enforce the COVID protocols and in ring safety. How is it bunk ? I never said full responsibility but they are adults and like all of us we have a personal responsibility to not do things that potentially Spread this f***ing virus more. im sick shit of this virus and the the days are getting shorter again and It’s likely that Ireland will be going back into some localised lockdowns. I wish this virus never darkened our doors. So I’m sorry if I’ve f*** all sympathy for wwe employees who do stupid shit that endangers themselves and others. We are six months into this things and clearly enough people haven’t learnt that continuing as normal isn’t on the cards for the short term at least. So, maybe control was the wrong word and I apologise for using it but it seems we are in the main making the same point.

Like, if anything, if WWE’s going to make it about this, it should be thinking about it from a financial perspective.
I hate putting it that way but if they’re going to tell Rhea Ripley she can’t get a tattoo and be annoyed when someone gets a haircut because it’ll affect video games and action figures...what the f*** do they think is going to happen if they’re booking a storyline and someone’s gone for two weeks or possibly longer? If they’re a stickler for having a consistent cast every week and haven’t been willing to shuffle people, what will they have to do if there’s a family member of someone who passes away and they have to give them time to mourn them?
Sure, Apollo Crews going for two weeks towards a US title match nobody gives a shit about isn’t a big deal in the long run, but what if it was Roman Reigns? What if something happened to him and they have to vacate the Universal title and halt his main event push? What if it gets worse and he won’t he on TV as long? What if he infects other members of his family who might want to come and see how he is, regardless of they should or not? I’m not going to get morbid with it but that potential endgame can’t be something ruled out with COVID regardless of age, health and condition.
Again, f***ing hate I have to put it like this but this has been a language WWE has shown to only understand, hence a lot of decision making involved with it, but it’s one of those things I look at and be like “Why aren’t you people doing something about this?” It doesn’t even have to be substantial or has to be anything major but just at least put out a company wide memo about this shit.

You want to do that and risk an outbreak? Fine. Do it on the grounds of the PC or at a place nearby where you can be contained and surveiled. Nobody in, nobody out.
Want to act like children? Treat them like children. Just don't let their stupidity out into the general public. Especially in an area of Florida that is filled with older people.
Unfortunately, WWE management are even more delusional about this than anyone.

For all of our talk about wanting to do things safely and whatnot...the f*** is the messaging when the government gives less of a shit about the safety of people than all of us in this thread do?
