TPWW Forums - View Single Post - COVID-19 outbreak in Florida

**Emperor Smeat** · 09-24-2020, 03:46 AM

According to the Observer and Post Wrestling, WWE's recent outbreak was really bad and something the company doesn't want to be made public in terms of the numbers and severity. Dave Meltzer reported earlier in the day that a lot of changes had to be made for this week's episode due to how bad NXT was affected.

Meanwhile Fightful and Spectrum Sports 360 reported that AEW also got hit with an outbreak around the week of September 9th which was their previous live taping session. Jon Alba reported that its not known if everyone who was missing from this week's tapings had tested positive or were being kept off as a precaution. Brian Cage mentioned on Twitter earlier in the day that he wasn't feeling well but didn't mention if it was coronavirus related or not.

In terms of other notable promotions that got hit with an outbreak recently, CMLL in Mexico had to pull several wrestlers from their upcoming Anniversary Show due to them all testing positive for the virus.

Edit: Turns out the coronavirus situation in CMLL is way worse than was being originally reported around the net.

- CMLL has had older staff working behind the scenes & is bringing in edecanes (who work large gatherings) on Friday.

CMLL has been doing testing, though it's the bare minimum & everyone who tested positive also had a negative test from CMLL. Huge alarm bells right there.

To say this is just a CMLL problem would be inaccurate. The truth is - if CMLL is having this much of a problem after only 4 weeks of tapings, you can imagine how bad the indy wrestling scene in Mexico must be. It's worse. The only difference? Nobody is getting tested at all.
