Darth Ender 485 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Didn't WWE just donate like $15-20m to some political organization linked to the FL governor the day WWE was deemed essential? Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,435 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 Linked to both the governor and Trump. I'm happy I don't financially support this company anymore and only stream what few shows I watch. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm happy I don't financially support this company anymore and only stream what few shows I watch.I love watching old wrestling too much... My user name is my firstname.lastname@gmail.com---im sure you can figure this out. PW: Maxpower19 Now I feel less guilty supporting them. Stream is limited to one device at a time so dont give this shit out. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 692 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 All the wrestling dirt sheets have been calling for WWE to stop putting on these shows. I think they forgot there would be consequences especially since there is no money from live events and ppvs. The Indies are pretty much dead right now. I'm sure some of them will be back when they start up live shows. Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,435 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 I wonder why they're not demanding AEW stop running empty building shows. Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Darth Hunter 220 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I also read that the contracts WWE has with NBC and FOX stipulate there must be a certain number of live shows broadcast per year. If they dont reach that number the contracts could be voided. Would NBC and FOX do that knowing what WWE is up against during this pandemic? I guess Vince is not willing to take that chance.

Metropolis 692 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well NBC Universal is the USA Network. They are not thinking about getting rid of the WWE. Fox? Who knows. Link to post Share on other sites
Tank 3,282 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 But live shows need CROWDS. The can say the WWE workers are essential, but the crowd? That just seems idiotic to let that many people come together during a pandemic. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 692 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The WWE needs shows. Other than merchandise, and the network, it's their only source of revenue right now. Not having the crowds is visually off putting, but they will do shows as long as they can without them. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Darth Hunter 220 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 WWE has decided to not run live weekly shows, probably due to all the bad press they were getting. They will begin taping two editions of their shows beginning Saturday, April 25. Link to post Share on other sites
Metropolis 692 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The networks told the WWE that their contract wouldn't be affected by them taping shows. Link to post Share on other sites
