WWE is now on Fox. And tonight it's this ginormous event.
And since it's on Fox, there's NFL crossover. Erin Andrews just interviewed Kofi Kingston.
Pretty sweet.

Shane McMahon is 49 years old. I don't know how he does it.

I enjoyed Smackdown last night. There are tons of people that are up in arms about the squash at the end. Love seeing Luke Harper back in action.

Re: Official Pro Wrestling thread
Please stop watching WWE, at least until COVID is over. My fucking numpty governor named WWE an "essential" business, and they're allowed to continue to film in Orlando, like they did for Wrestlemania a few weeks ago. DeSantis' move to add WWE (not directly named, but clearly aimed at them) to the list of essential businesses came on the same day that Linda McMahon donated $20m to Trump 2020.
Until everything is less insane, I'm mixing weed with wine.
Re: Official Pro Wrestling thread
Their roster was bloated anyways. The only ones getting much TV time was Gallows and Anderson. Hopefully EC3 finds a place that will use him correctly. Same goes for Sarah Logan.
I just wish they would shut down and furlough all their talent. Just rebroadcast great episodes of RAW, Smackdown, and Nitro. They own all that shit. People would still watch it and be entertained.

The performers get it on the way out. Their likelihood of getting hired by another promotion is about zero, even when the pandemic is controlled. There may be a couple who get snapped up, but with AEW having essentially a full roster at this point, there is no space there.
Meanwhile, McMahon is able to keep up his pre-pandemic profit projections in time for today's quarterly stock call. I think Meltzer tweeted it would take about $2.1 million to keep all those performers on the books for three months. By the way, WWE looks to bring in over a billion dollars this year for the first time ever... with the pandemic happening. Their live shows allegedly lose money, which would mean the pandemic is making them more profitable.

Not really. As far as I know only Andre and Macho are dead. Plus Miss Elizabeth and the Brain. But they didn't die in a plane crash that killed the entire roster and coaching staff.

Updated the list. If half the tag team is bold one of them has died.

Re: Official Pro Wrestling thread
The point isn't that the wrestlers are dead. The point was that is was a reference to a tragedy where a whole team of college basketball players died in a plane wreck (except one that wasn't on the plane, but he died in an car crash two months later), along with the coaching staff.bfj wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 9:08 pmCan Am Connection def.
