(I know, sound like manga or a video game... but let's roll with that). More Tekken less Street Fighter.

    Yes, sure, it'll entirely piss off older professional wrestling fans who know and watched decades of same talent but those fans aren't exactly happy with what's out there now and since it seems really hard to go back to that style... I'm recommending the move forward.
    I think at this point is best to get rid of McMahon altogether, your idea sounds good, but i'm sure Vince will find a way to ruin it...

    I think we're just done with WWE for a while. It's beyond stale - only watched the last match of Elimination Chamber and I even want that 20 minutes of my life back. I thought NXT Live in Detroit last weekend would at least be good. Yeah, nope. A whole ton of A-list names to draw from and we got pretty much none of them. Dio Maddin (who had great intro music fwiw), probably only there because of Detroit connections, had a decent match with Keith Lee against Adam Cole and Roderick Strong. New Japan and AEW are so much more exciting right now.

    I already stopped watching RAW and Smackdown, i was only watching the PPV matches that interest me and even doing that, the product feels stale.

    I've been watching the WWE for 20+ years and it has never felt as irrelevant as it feels today...

    Normally, I "watch" raw while I do other things. And usually tune out when the main event starts (which is usually the same thing as thr last few weeks). Completely skip smackdown entirely. Nxt on thursday or the weekends.

    Raw and Smackdown are just glorified house shows with half-baked storytelling. Spent months building Rowan's cage. Reveals a cheap looking spider, only to kill it a week later. They're completely burying Ricochet too for whatever reason.

    NXT has been lacking too for a little bit as well. Not bad. But not as good as it was before the last takeover. Meanwhile, AEW are figuring out what works and what doesn't, creatively, and are succeeding in making good shows.

    Anyone care to guess the chances of WrestleMania being cancelled?

    I just hope Double or Nothing still happens with an audience.

    I honestly have no idea. There's a ton of international fans going. I could see it getting cancelled in order to keep it contained and not let them bring it back to their home countries.

    It's a crazy situation. Vince isn't going to cancel. It's up to Tampa, really. He's going to go full steam ahead until someone says he can't.

    None at all whatsoever unless Vince is forced to with a gun in his mouth.

    I'm surprised they haven't tried to tie it into a storyline by now.

    There might be a travel ban now for Europe (not UK, I think). So that might complicate some things for that weekend now.

    Probably. Wrestlemania is a huge money maker. Not knowing if it's for sure happening or not has got to be stressful.

    The city says it is in WWE's court. I think Florida may wind up shutting it down. I don't trust a guy who thinks sneezing is a mental weakness to be sensitive to this.

    AEW relocated the next couple shows to their home base in Jacksonville, Fl.

    I'd be so excited for AEW to film a few backyard wrestling episodes. Live from The Hardy Compound?

    I think it'd be hilarious if Wrestlemania was moved to the Performance Center. Can you imagine how hilariously awkward it'd be to watch Goldberg and Roman with no audience?

    I heard somewhere that it might be delayed until June.

    I hope everyone is ready to find out because WrestleMania is happening at the PC.

    AEW is doing a pretty good job without a crowd.

    Yeah I think having wrestlers at ring side making noise made it a lot less awkward.
    Also having the hard cam face the stage instead of empty seats was smart.

    This is the Dynamite that I was supposed to go to so I'm a little bummed I didn't get to see the debuts live.

    Also Brodie Lee would have gotten a HUGE pop in his hometown of Rochester if the show didn't get relocated

    Yeah! It made the whole thing feel more intimate instead of just a live rehearsal.

    AEW has already taken the crown for how to have an exciting show without an audience. It was SO good, that part of me is now expecting WWE to suddenly start having the roster at ring side and to change the camera angle. That episode of Dynamite was so fucking awesome. And honestly, having Broken Matt debut to an empty arena is very on brand for that character in a way? So good.
