Aint no point in anyone coming to Georgia as the numbers here are rapidly rising as well and our governor isn't doing shit about it. People don't wear masks, they don't socially distance. I can only imagine what our numbers would look like if we had as many large cities and population that Florida does.

Not sure what's the deal with AEW, but with Vince, it sounds like he sees COVID as a personal affront. The fact that people think he should shut things down is all the more reason to push forward. Similar to Dana White, he believes the world is now a bunch of pussies.

AEW is in a tricky spot. But, they can manage. They're doing a better job with virus testing. However, I think they need to ditch the staff crowd that's slowly been growing on TV each week.. Keep the roster crowd at ringside but crackdown on the social distancing. Put a bubble around Daily's Place and keep everything super tight, they'll be fine. And, I would give the roster the choice to stick around and ride it out. Or head home. |

Its not UFC level of testing but enough to avoid being caught completely off guard unlike what happened with WWE. UFC is doing 4-5 tests for every fighter scheduled for fights at their Fight Island for comparisons. |

According to Bryan Alvarez, at least one wrestler from SmackDown who wasn't on last week's show tested positive for the coronavirus based on multiple sources within WWE.
That person was among the lists of people being spread online over who was mysteriously missing from last week's show. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 06-29-2020 at 06:59 PM. |

Likely AJ or Sheamus since both of them had been advertised during the week.
Plus AJ was in the ring just feet way from Renee Young. |

Meanwhile in Florida stuff, Jacksonville became the latest location there to issue new face mask wearing requirements. All indoor events and beaches must have people wearing face masks at all times with some exceptions. AEW likely will be exempted due to Daily's Place being an outdoor venue but wouldn't be surprised if they started having the wrestlers in the crowd wear face masks.

Hope Renee announces she's AEW bound but I doubt it. I'd like to see what she could do on commentary without Vince's restrictions. Brit Baker hating her would be golden.

Mostly the money coming in from WWE's tv deals and WWE's stocks not being as bad as they were earlier in the year.
With no XFL around and WWE not spending as much money as they would be in a normal situation, it gave the conditions needed for Vince's wealth to increase during these tough times. |

A wrestler saying they aren't responsible for anyone else's health is slightly worrying.
I hope he doesn't do piledrivers. |

I bet half of the AEW roster is full of conspiracy nuts.
They must come up with reasons for why WWE won't sign Marko Stunt |

Austin Aries and Low Ki being absolute fucking nutjobs is not surprising in the least.
It'd be kind of a silver lining if the coronavirus leads to Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn stepping away from the WWE in such an active capacity. |

A friend in FL contacted the arena WWE wanted to run live shows at in July, RP Funding Center in Lakeland, FL -- they told him even though the July shows are canceled WWE does have dates booked in August and hopes to announce them soon, so Vinny Mac definitely plans on getting fans back in the arena as soon as he can.
The person who told me saw ROH Supercard of Honor there and said the seats are plastic....probably lots of 1ply TP in the locker rooms. |

Is there a way for Vince to be ousted without willingly leaving? You know that thing in movies where the board overthrow s someone or something? Now would be the time. |

Think he'd have to be involved in a big enough scandal that causes advertisers to start leaving en mass or severely damages the company's image to the point the only option on the table is him leaving.
Anything else and I think he'd have to willingly give up his controlling shares and power to make any ouster effective. |

So none of this "shareholders meeting" type thing?
I feel like he must be tanking the company on purpose because he's afraid to die or something. |

He basically doesn't want to be like his father where he didn't know what to do with his life outside of wrestling. Took a lot of convincing by Vince and his father starting to deal with some health issues to get that change at the top to happen.
Also doesn't help that WWE's investors are still not that high on the idea of Triple H & Steph taking over despite Triple H's increase hand in company operations and NXT's success in general. |
