I dont check my company emails so if our boss did a public message like that I'd be appreciative of the gesture. My company's mail system is completely overflooded by pointless messages, by promotional messagess, announcement that affecty 1% of the company and overall stuff like that so I rarely use it unless someone says "hey I sent you a mail"

Tony tweeting about letting people stay home can be both a service to the wrestlers who may not have checked their emails (like QT) while also being a PR exercise. And there's nothing wrong with it being both. As a public gesture it can also serve to temper viewers' expectations. Nobody is being called in to TV so the card will probably be a bit cobbled together and there may be star power issues, but it's because of the hurricane and people being allowed to stay home. Even beyond PR, there's decent reasons for people to see this message and understand what it implies.

I love how he mentions people missing emails, and QT is immediately like "it me."
In all seriousness, Ian sounds like a scary storm. Hope everyone stays safe.

And there's nothing wrong with it being both. People are strangely defensive about Tony's tweets. There's nothing particularly egregious about him wanting to put that out publically, but there's no reason to pretend it's purely an internal communication either. Same with his football tweet this time last week. You have to understand that people will attempt to spin any Tony tweet into some kind of awful thing. Especially on here. People constantly lose their minds on Tony's tweets. Consider that you had people on here more upset about Tony tweeting that he was now the longest serving executive in wrestling after Vince stepped down, than about Vince having to resign in disgrace for being a decades long sexual predator.

No, not 'especially on here'. There are a grand total of zero posts in this thread criticising Tony, where are the people losing their minds?

Honestly if this had been in his head for the last week since we haven't gotten a more concrete card yet. Tony usually has a mostly full card before the next show but it makes sense why there isn't now.

If I was a woman on AEW or a guy lower in the card, I'd probably try to take my chances to see if I can get booked.
But I hope most try to be safe.

Tony usually has a mostly full card before the next show but it makes sense why there isn't now. I think the two matches booked are enough until he figures out for sure who is coming You got Mox vs Juice, and Jericho vs Bandido, so two of the top draws are in big time matches

MJF: "Hey boss, I can't make it tonight, hurricane and all."
Tony: "Wait, I thought you lived in New York?"
[MJF hangs up]

Better just go ahead and make the show two hours of Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy just in case. They live in Philly. Bryce can ref! Here's hoping for a commentary team of Riccoboni and Shane Helms.
