Lol imagine having a ticket to one of those nondescript summer PPVs and suddenly you’re now going to WrestleMania.

Except a large portion of their Mania crowd has booked hotels, flights and vacation time and are likely not gonna be able to attend if it's postponed. It'll be a shit show regardless but the non local attending is gonna get fucked.

Just live your life as usual. If they cancel your show you'll more than likely get compensated or be dead so it's all good.

I really cant see televised shows being cancelled by WWE or AEW. I think they can still put on their TV shows in empty arenas. It would be weird but not unheard of.
That said, I'm thinking they aren't going to be in charge of those decisions and will get shut down by outside forces like the govt or the arenas and cities/states. |

If I'm WWE, I just move all shows to the Performance Center. You can use the trainees/personnel and family members of wrestlers as the audience for RAW/SD and WrestleMania.
If I'm AEW, I rent out a small studio space and do the same (family of talent as the audience). |

AEW has to rent some kind of small space and do it or their momentum is going to be really hurt. Not being on TV for possibly several months will hurt them badly.

Someone should convince all the major promotions to do a crossbrand show on ppv with all proceeds going to charity to help people impacted by the coronavirus.

WWE sent out another statement regarding Mania 36 and basically its the same as before.
They are not cancelling the event unless specifically told to do so by the government or venue. Quote:

Some dude in our town bought all the tp up and is price gouging and selling it for retarded prices, 200 a pack and shit, online in the local buy/sell group. I've documented it all and when everything passes over I am going to remind everyone what a piece of shit he was and put him on blast everywhere in the local groups.

The most important question wrestling fans have to ask themselves about Smackdown in the Performance Center space minus a crowd is:
When Michael Cole screams "It's boss time" will it echo off the walls repeatedly? |

I honestly think this could be a blessing in disguise for Raw, Smackdown, Dynamite and WrestleMania.
* Camera work could get more 'up close' to the action at times. * We'll focus more on the stories in the ring during matches * Opportunities to film segments that show us more characters outside of the ring in unique settings * Undertaker will take 10 minutes instead of 40 minutes to walk down the ramp at the PC * WM will zoom by quicker in general with a smaller ramp * It will just make all the above feel sort of fresh and different * There won't be sports on, this might actually help ratings since it will give people something to watch |

Instead of trying to compete with the crowds trying to get themselves over with stupid chants, maybe with companies can become more appealing to casual fans. |

That would be a great get for Fox. People could still watch it commercial free on the network/traditional PPV. Fox though would get a nice rating and money to be made with commercials.
