I'm with you. 26 and healthy as ever. I'll take my chances with CV over being a glutton for heart disease. People freak out damn near every 4 years over a new virus.. The difference here is obvious. The incubation period for COVID-19 is estimated to be 5 days, and people who have been exposed to it are recommended to be quarantined for 14 days. You're correct in guessing that at your age, you would likely recover if infected. However, for people 60 and older, the mortality rate is currently estimated at 10%. That is far greater than the flu, and COVID is highly contagious. A person could be carrying the disease and not yet showing signs of infection, but in the meantime infecting coworkers, friends, and family. So this is a much more serious immediate situation than any one person being a couch potato and setting himself/herself up for the onset of heart disease. That's the WWE's best demo, better safe than sorry. |

Although Vince waiving concern for the health and well being of others, including the fans and his employees , in order for his grand creation to go off without a hitch and not even the smallest change in plans is the most Vince Jr. thing ever. Lol. 3 weeks out people. If Vince cancels now, they complain he’s jumping the gun. If he waits, he’s a greedy jerk that doesn’t care about the well being of fans and employees. Y’know, the people making him money. Oh well. Tom Hanks says he’s got the virus. Should we shut down Hollywood too? It’s too early. The NBA just made a decision based on 2 players testing positive to suspend the season. Is that a bit much when you can pull them from the game? Maybe not. Did everyone else get infected? I get it. If no one in WWE has tested positive yet, what’s the deal? Each wrestler, ring worker, executive etc. has a responsibility to be smart and take steps to be safe. IF things continue, someone higher up is going force cities to cancel events like this, and Vince will have no choice, but at least he won’t look as much like the bad guy to those of us with common sense. |

There are some people that I would very much like to see get the virus based off of the sh*t they say.

World Wrestling Entertainment has pulled the plug on this Friday's Smackdown taping in Detroit, Michigan and will instead broadcast Friday Night Smackdown and 205 Live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources. Are there even enough people in the audience at smackdown shows to be considered a mass gathering? 😄😆 That's a burn right there. |

All the bs aside though, has a Wrestlemania ever had to be postponed before in history or could this be a potential first time?

Pretty sure that was just an excuse because they weren't selling well at the LA Coliseum, and all the empty seat were gonna look bad on TV, so they went for the smaller LA Sports Arena. |

Fantastic improvising 👏🏽😂 I have heard that rumor before numerous times. IMO, they were hot enough to get 60,000 at least. If I sell 60,000 tickets I’m gonna put on a show |

He's not letting some little bacteria go over. He's Vince McMahon goddammit, he'll squash that microscopic midget! |

Unless a wrestler or someone who travels towns with them gets it, I can’t imagine Vince not going ahead with the show. But unless something unexpected happens within the next week I can’t imagine Tampa allowing the show to happen. Maybe Tony Khan will offer the Jags stadium 😅

I see the XFL has cancelled the rest of season but is still paying the players for the rest of it. That's a good move.

I can see the first WrestleMania in Saudi Arabi!!!! Get those passports ready people!!!!! I'm sure the WWE will scramble and will find an arena somewhere that will host it. It should be fun to see what happens! Tony Khan should offer Jacksonville stadium...for a price  |

I think it will be cancelled, but Vince is waiting for Tampa to do it. I bet if Vince stops it himself, they don't get money, but if Tampa cancels it, there's some sort of insurance benefit.
