Real question.... Why doesn't WWE just delay WrestleMania three months and do it in Tampa then?

Even if this isn't true it's a much better idea

Edit: Not sure how to post nested tweets but the idea is to move Mania to MSG on June 7th

SummerSlam can move to Jeddah and the fed does 18 ppvs a year so who cares if they are back to back

It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Honestly if there was ever a good excuse to postpone a show and do something else with their TV time, this is it.

Of COURSE you can park the stuff being built up for Wrestlemania. With how halfassed the build has been, this is for the best, as the time might give the stories depth. Tell some other stories with your huge roster in the meantime. Do something fun. Will Ospreay managed to put together a good wrestling show with stories and action and no audience in *less than a week* and he's hardly famed as wrestling's smartest man. Use this as an opportunity.

They won't do any of this, of course. There is no jolting WWE out of its decline.

Wrestlemania and Summerslam are the two biggest PPVs that WWE has though so maybe they are going to be burnout with both big events so close to each other or....that there won't be enough to plot out storylines between ppvs.

But who knows what they are thinking.

Notes from today's Observer Radio, per Dave:

quote:

At first Dave questioned why Vince was so hellbent on getting Mania over with. Why he couldn’t just wait for a few months to see what happens and reschedule. But then Dave realized: “It was put to me like, what if there’s no shows till November? What do you do?” So Vince is most likely wanting to get this show out of the way before it gets worse.

Dave has been told Vince is not a fan of these empty arena shows since Smackdown aired last week.

The words “COVID-19” and “Coronavirus” are banned words in WWE.

Watching Raw, it's amazing that they can't adjust the way they do things for no audience. Andrade doing his entrance, posing for the non existent crowd. Backstage segments that are backstage for no reason.

Like, how much would it rule if they started shooting things Lucha Underground style

I'd like to think that they can't adjust things on the fly which is why they do things the same all the time but Vince changes the script constantly, even on the day of shows, so who knows?

I still don't know why they have all those seats set up for no one. At least fill them with some staff or something. Or maybe not have them at all.

Postponing WM indefinitely would mean completely freezing all storylines and builds for dozens of hours of tv. And WWE isn't gonna stop making tv, it makes them too much money.

They have a half billion in cash in the bank. They can go dark for a few months, a lot easier than the Broke Boy owner of the Houston Rockets who has trouble digging 15 million dollars out of the couch cushions when he needs to make payroll.

Vince might legitimately be insane enough to think any of his employees that catch it are weak and this whole thing is grossly overblown.

Also I know WWE BAD LOL but let's be real here, no wrestling promotion could put on good 2+ hour shows for any span of time with literally no crowds. It's key to the art form no matter who is presenting it.

If they wanted to be cool and draw ratings, they could, like they are doing for hald the.shows anyway, just in Raw and SD's timeslot have Cole Masterpiece Theatre intro a classic WWE show and just play that. Like I'd like to think a 2:50 cut of Mania 17 would draw more eyes than whatever last nignt was
