They should probably be concerned about losing Summerslam too

I'm hearing that some health officials think that, while things can gradually re-open in the coming months and people can go back to work, guidelines on large public gatherings are still going to need to be loosened and tightened on and off for possibly 1-2 years until there is a vaccine available. Possibly staying within attendance thresholds to minimize the risk of spread.

WWE might have to get used to running smaller venues, even for the important shows.

Wonder how other leagues would cope. MLB playing an entire season in spring training venues or teams only filling the lower level of seating. NFL game attendance would look like XFL.

Vince needs his tech gurus working on how to put up green screens at the PC to fake crowds

:lol:

Fucking postpone Wrestlemania.

It's not like there's any storylines that are good.

I'm looking forward to Disco Inferno, Ted Turner, and Conan riding in on a buffalo for Blood and Guts

WWE could feasibly be in the Performance Center until September 2021 if a 12-18 month ban on mass gatherings goes into effect.

I don’t think anyone has mentioned it not being on the network, just not “streaming live” as it won’t be live due to being prerecorded.

Really can't imagine anyone keeping up with the product for that long if that were to happen. I can barely watch it for two minutes.

I'm curious that if it's getting filmed later in the week, will spoilers somehow make their way online?

No one would be stupid enough to spoil it since it's a limited crew and they could probably figure it out

Yeah in the building you'd only have:

-Wrestlers working that night
-Refs
-Announcers (except Graves since he and Carmella are self-isolating)
-A few medical staff
-Vince
-Triple H
-A road agent or two
-Whatever camera/production crew are needed for onsite

And that's about it. No unbooked wrestlers milling around. The writers can work remotely if they're needed. Hell since it's taped most of the production work can be done in post-production from Stamford.

There are probably only a double digit number of people in the PC.

If the spoilers are just Wrestler A defeated Wrestler B, then the spoilers wouldn't really need to come from the building itself, just whoever saw the script or worked on the show like anyone from Creative, production, or management.

Detailed stuff would be a lot easier to weed out where the leaker(s) came from.

Even AEW had their dark match tapings leaked but it was mostly just who wrestled and won.

I think it's not gonna just be "don't leak stuff or Vince will get mad". I think it's likely they will need to sign a non disclosure agreement, being it's Mania.

Dana is sick, as is Rey Mysterio which is why he's not involved in the card either.

This is a complete shitshow.

Aleister Black vs. Bobby Lashley?

WWE better have WrestleMania taped by Thursday at 11pm...

Main event ends in a no contest after cop interference.

AEW probably should strongly consider taping at least 2 weeks worth of Dynamite tomorrow since the same is likely going to happen very soon in Jacksonville.

Seems Mania's card isn't going to be scaled back nor the show itself be shorter than usual even with the two night format.

Current rumor is WWE is sticking with a 16 match card for Mania and to be split evenly with 8 matches per night.

Becky vs. Baszler for the RAW Women's title is currently penciled in as the main event for Night 1.

I think if they tape the RAW after WM as originally planned for this week, then after Mania and the following RAW we'll get eps of RAW and SD that are essentially reruns or matches from various PPVs.

I'm not sure what else they could do because I don't think this is ending anytime soon.

IT'S A WRESTLEMANIA TOO BIG FOR ONE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111696969

Ironically being held in the smallest venue it's ever been held in. But have to congratulate them on trying and failing miserably to put a positive spin on it. :nono::nono::nono:

IT'S WRESTLEMANIA DAY BABYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Can you feel the electric

Who gonna get dem spoilers?

lol spoilers are apparently leaking already for real. Looking into it myself r/n to see if its legit.

Some of the usual "insiders" claim they know the full results but aren't going to release them. If that's true, at least one of them will end up leaking it. Kinda feels like a set up tho.

I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to record multiple endings to offset the leaks.

Gonna call up my boy Ryan Clark for da scoop.

Exactly. Then they can maybe tell who leaked by which fake ending was given out to the public.

Or to take into consideration Vince changing his mind at the last minute.

Didn't they tape the RAW after Mania yesterday tho? If so, they can't change anything w/o re-filming parts of that.

Looking forward more to my next shit than this incoming trainwreck of a show.

What if they taped different segments for each outcome? Or even more plausible, the entire RAW after Mania would be a highlights show. They really need an off-season.

Or they just taped every possible generic cookie-cutter situation they could, and don't even know which parts will be part of Mania, which ones will be RAW/Smackdown, etc....

Could see people paying for the Network for Mania and then the following RAW/SD episodes just be replays of WrestleMania.

That would be a sure fire way to piss off their paying customers on the Network if they pulled that stunt.

The ratings pop they'd get for tv wouldn't be worth that kind of damage in the long run. Also the ratings probably just going to quickly tumble back down after a week or so.

Someone claiming to be a WWE employee allegedly has been spoiling the results from Mania.

Only problem is none of the rumored unannounced matches were listed in the spoilers and the main events for both nights contradict what has been recently reported for plans.

Assuming the results are real even as a really lucky random guess, then 2 matches would have a really terrible end result and potentially another 1-2 matches as well depending on your view.

Can’t see it in the Network schedule; when does the show start?
