Just put in a bunch of monitors and let people randomly be shown on monitors via twitch or something
Yes I feel like delaying it till that time will just make sure it's actually cancelled and get rid of any hype leading up to it. Better to get it out of the way and go big for 2021.
i honestly can't believe vince is going forward with a wrestlemania with no fans
the optics of this shit
PLUS they're not making a gate
as far as we know, there's no espn+ crazy money deal in place. if that was the case, I'd understand moving heaven and earth to make the show happen. but as it stands, they're getting, what... a few more wwe network subs? the crazy fucks still watching wwe obviously subscribe to the network, so what do they hope to gain from this?
it's insane

Honestly, they shoud just setting up a bunch of cardboard standees and give Vince a soundboard with a bunch of canned audience noise.
Man, this sounds like too good of an idea. You know Vince isn't going to do that.
Wrestlemania is like one of 3 shows a year where things actually happen.
I figured it was going to happen, whether by Vince's hand or the city's. Sucks though, as I had been looking forward to it and Takeover for the past year. I don't really watch week to week anymore, but I do like to go to the PPV's when they come to town. Thankfully I was able to go when it came to Orlando a few years ago, so it's not like I've never been, but it would have been nice to go and not have to worry about a long-ass drive home after a long-ass show.
It's the only decision they could have made other than cancelling it. This was shaping up to be one of the worst WMs recently but now I want to see how they pull it off imho.
I usually get together with 5-6 friends at my place to watch. That's a bad idea right? We make food and watch the whole 5 hour train wreck. They are very close friends, and if we're not under a full lockdown then (TX) is it that bad of an idea? Eh, probably

They are all tweeting how great it will be, they've obviously been briefed to go into full PR mode!
Sasha Banks taking the piss though, love to see it

Ah damn it!!! I totally forgot about takeover!! That's either getting canned or getting the empty arena treatment also.
The performance center?
They should take this opportunity and do it somewhere crazy like the top of a skyscraper or something where lack of crowd wouldn't matter.
Something like this.

Im not sure his plan was for me to cancel my subscription 10 months ago LOLVince right now
WWE surely have no requirements to pay back people's travel fees unless it's some sort of package booked through WWE
7 hours of silent mania or possibly the shortest mania in a long time since they cant stop for commerical break.
this is the plan to counter those cancellations. Vince plays 4D chess like that
*Fiend remains silent entire match*
John Cena: Take this, you friggin' ham sandwich
You mean at Wrestlemania they'll just re-air matches from previous events?
They do (did) sell stuff like that though
WrestleMania 36 Travel Packages available now; Individual tickets available Nov. 15 at 10 a.m. ET
WrestleMania 36 descends on Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, on Sunday, April 5, 2020, and the best way to experience the incredible week of activities taking place throughout the greater Tampa Bay area is with an official WrestleMania 36 Travel Package.
I agree they won't pay back a cent more than they need too
What a horrible blow to Tampa's economy , I hope Tampa can host another one after this virus blows over. Hopefully the Super Bowl isn't next.
Mania taking place in a giant kennel from hell stipulation eh?
We all know vince is batshit insane and has no moral comprehension but this is crazy even for him.
Imagine watching a non audience match of Roman Reigns for 30min. Or last match for that long. Without audience, that is going to look so lame to whomever is still watching this product
To be fair most of their bigger cards the past 5+ years have been pretty bland with maybe 1 or 2 stand out matches. Long gone are the days when they've had a completely killer card from top too bottom. Wrestlemania has not been an exception to this.
Though I'm more partial to the Jerry Lawler vs Terry Funk empty arena match :)
Everyone in the gif, Lawler, and Funk can all actually work(at the time) without having to look at the crowd for a reaction every minute and didn't need to have really long rest periods where the crowd noise helps. Roman always gets put into a head lock for like 2 minutes in big matches, it's going to come off terribly without a crowd and only Cole and Graves talking about the BIG DAWG. Hopefully they are adjusting everything for this but I suspect that will not be the case aside from the usual big entrances.
Christ delay the fucking thing. Or suspend current storylines and just do random shit until things are back to normal. Wasting all these moments to "keep the show going" is dumb.
For those of you not following the Wrestling thread a lot of small companies are going to be in massive trouble because of this in particular Wrestlecon where the Marriot is screwing them because of a pandemic.
peeps trying to tell me wrasslin can work without a crowd
lol no it can't
Cancelling or postponing means canceling or postponing entire storylines, ones (most) which involve part time contracted talent. I don't think they had a clean option. It was gonna be a terrible show anyway but no fans means it's going to be terrible and awkward as fuck.
