It's probably less "We postponed the taping for safety" and more "We postponed the taping because most of the production crew are too weak to standup. We're finding new crew"

I imagine its that there was enough outrage and upset amongst the wrestlers and crew that at least waiting until they had tests in seemed necessary, but also they couldn't bring themselves to not film a SD because they don't REALLY care and are only doing the bare minimum.

I imagine we'll never hear about that again because it too embarrassing. They'll just keep on this whole "we did this FOR YOU!" bullshit and try and make it out to be a self sacrifice and patriotic act. And then they'll say like they didn't want to take away their wrestlers wages. And something about how positive tests is just evidence of what a good job they're doing.

They'll get a rundown from the VP.

There have been people who straight up refused to. I'm sure it'll come out who soon, if not it'll be obvious by who's not there tonight (half the show is currently planned to be that Taker tribute)

Last night there were rumors that talent were leaving Florida so they had the excuse of not being in the area day-of

I like how every big event it feels like this is the time the WWE wrestlers should finally just say gently caress you and start a union like..THIS IS IT! FINALLY!

But...none of them will ever.

How would unionizing make a difference with this?

Any demands they could make regarding worker safety would be taken a whole lot more seriously if the locker room had the threat of strike to bargain with.

You'd demand safe health precautions, timely test results and communication, and protection against punishment for choosing not to take the risk all with the threat of the entire roster striking if they aren't satisfied.

Yeah, in a perfect situation they would of already had a union and would of used that to get proper covid care. But it's never too late for them to start unionizing now. At the least they should be dealing with this like a shadow union and convincing other performers to not show up and trying to get at least some of the wrestlers to act collectively.

Until someone pulls a Hogan and rats the person or people starting it out to Vince and he fires them.

My guess would be Seth, Ziggler, or Braun.

"WWE is, as of this morning, slated to move forward with taping TV today for tonight's Smackdown and this Monday's episode of Raw. They will also tape tomorrow at the WWE Performance Center.

The tapings are taking place despite the company continuing to receive positive COVID-19 test results. We are told the number has risen since yesterday and there is concern about everyone at every level of the company who was at the PC.

One conversation among WWE wrestlers over the last few days is disbelief towards those in the locker room who have been out socially at bars and gatherings and posting on social media in the wake of everything that has gone on since the company began informing them of COVID-19 positives."
