Sums up exactly how I feel.

I'm long term sick and my health is only gonna get worse, other parts of my life have started falling apart the past 2-3 years, I never know how each day is gonna go, is it gonna be the normal sucky day or the extra sucky day where I'm filled with anxiety and dark thoughts and just dreading being awake for the shit that happen out of nowhere.

AEW Dynamite has been something to look forward to the past six months, something that banishes the misery away if only for a couple of hours every Thursday morning. I am incredibly grateful and thankful for having AEW to raise my spirits.

Fuck this virus so very, very much.

State-wide ban in New York for events over 500 people, starting 5PM tomorrow. Not a reccomendation, a ban.

AEW has to move

Hey friends? These are uncertain times, but we can take solace in the fact that Triangulo de la Muerte have a banger theme.

AEW should still go on, but with no fans, for the time being. In place of fans, just have the Inner Circle be the fans each Wednesday. That'll be entertainment.

Wrestling does not work without fans. I don't think that'd even be a consideration.

Jericho does have experience being a fan at the events

Weren't the old WCW spring break Nitros super tiny in terms of crowds? I still remember those shows being awesome.

I don't think they should go empty arena but small, centralized, studio-ish shows could keep things humming along for the time being

I imagine even NXT won't be able to have 200 fans come in either at some point.

They will either have to do empty arena shows or give Matt Hardy free reign to do 2 hour videos.

I listen to Jericho's podcast sometimes and one of his recent ones he had some Looney Toons crazy on there that claimed SARs, swine flu, Corona, are Satanic government plots. I've never rolled my eyes so hard, da fuq is up with some people man.

I think a typical Dynamite can go off fine without a crowd (though it would definitely take away from it). But I really think they should postpone Blood and Guts until they can have fans in attendance again. That match really should have a hot crowd behind it.

The last RAW I truly considered great before I stopped watching was the show entirely in the studio during that blizzard. Everyone was loose and having fun.

They could do something similar like "Being the Elite" and "Road to..." next week, throw in some "greatest hits" matches and figure out where to go from here.

Hey man, so sorry to hear that you're going through some shit and have had to go through some shit. I look forward to your posts every week after Dynamite and feel the same way about the show just making me feel good about life for a few hours a week.

Give me a Hardy fever dream, a JR sitdown interview with Hangman and Matt Jackson, Evil Uno and Kenny Omega playing N64 wrestling games, a few empty arena matches with wrestlers playing the role of fans, and a Shida and Statlander gal pals video.

Now is the time to go full drama. Gimme that Stat/OC romance storyline. Hell, if you have two hours to fill you could basically just remake Wall-E.

There's something appealing about AEW slowing everything down with a different kind of show until crowds resume, but would understand if they want to try and keep things moving as planned in a controlled environment.

Listening to the latest AEW podcast with TK, it sounds like he has near infinite ideas to draw from given how often he wrote fantasy episodes in his youth, so I have every confidence they'll find something to do with the talent and venues available to them.

It sucks about AEW but they need to send a press release or something because there are people like me that were traveling to Newark and need to cancel stuff and know what will happen to my tickets, etc.

Same. It's a shame too, cause I bought a ticket for a friend who was travelling to visit us, and it was going to be a great surprise. I've been psyched about it for weeks.

If they do a studio show, they could have long Chris van Vliet style interview segments, where you just learn a bit more about the wrestlers. They had stuff like that on Dark already in the beginning, Those could be promos like when you interview MJF or just real talk.
The ratings will probably take a hit anyway, so if you have to cut down on the wrestling a bit because it's weird without a crowd, there are other ways to produce wholesome, uplifting content.

I'm still going to NJ. This was my kid's first visit to the New York area and he will be heartbroken when I tell him the news in a couple of minutes when I get home. 😢
