Official WrestleMania 36 Thread - 4/4-5/2020

Are there even enough people in the audience at smackdown shows to be considered a mass gathering? 😄😆

Ya good with catching something with no cure, no vaccine, no human immunity, and no concrete grasp at its contagion factor, with no guarantee your medical system can bear the brunt of a full-out outbreak in your community? Even more, to passing it to your closest family and friends (some I assume must be in the category most at risk for developing serious, life-threatening symptoms) while you may not even be aware of carrying it?

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 media blows it out of proportion, certain business's lose stock value, the problem subsides, stock rises again, rinse and repeat.

It's not a conspiracy, just an observation. What do you expect to do? Live your entire life afraid to interact with other people? No way to live. Death is certain, the privilege to live your life is not.

Just read a statement from WWE that Smackdown in Detroit and other future shows are still planned to take place as scheduled, but contingencies are being set in place in the event municipalities or venues cancel.

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.

Gives a whole new meaning to "OOOOOHHHHHHH, OOOOOOOHHHHHHH...WRESTLEMAAAAAAAANIA, FIGHTING TO SURVIVE!"



I'll um...

I'll just see myself out.

Probably a third of the people on the show......pretty sure its gonna get cancelled or moved to a later date today!

This is something to take seriously...but not to completely halt life over. There's way too much uncertainty surrounding this for any supposed arm chair medical experts on a wrestling toy forum to chime in on what how serious this is or isn't. Go out and live your life. MAYBE they should postpone the show, maybe they shouldn't. At least a handful of attendees will have been exposed. That doesn't necessarily mean that 100,000 attendees will be infected. I'd be more worried for their parents and grandparents at home than for the vast majority of mostly younger attendees.

From a creative standpoint a postponement could be good or bad. They might have a chance to rethink this whole Goldberg/Reigns abortion, and might find something decent for guys like Ricochet and Aelister Black aside from the Andre Battle Royal.....they also might decide to replace Shayna as has been rumored, which hopefully won't happen. But to people on here just live your lives, wash your hands, and ffs don't wipe your ass any more than necessary. I'm almost out of tp and really don't want to buy it on ebay for Harley Race prices.
