I have no sympathy whatsoever for Vince or other WWE executives and leadership. I feel tremendous sympathy though for those talents who lost marquee matches on the biggest show of the year. For all the indy talents and promotions running events that weekend who are going to lose a ton of money now, I fear a lot of those promotions will fold.
And most of all, for the fans. Much as we laugh about Mania being shit, Mania and Mania weekend is a bucket list item for so many fans globally. Just like everyone else who lost out on their vacation to Disney World or other places, or the people who lost out on weddings or other events they've book looking forward to for months, possibly years. Mania weekend isn't cheap, some people going have to target years in advance when they want to go and save up for ages. Yeah they'll get their tickets and airfare and hotel expenses back, but that's not the point. To lose an experience you've been looking forward to for so long is a gut punch.
