If no one brawls into Vince's office, with him in there at his desk, i'll be disappointed. It doesn't even have to be Vince himself. Throw the demon puppet in there on the phone. I'd be fine with that. |

Unless someone jumps off the entire building, what is the point?

I’m not talking about doing this type of match, I’m talking about creative ideas in general that it’s clear they can come up with give this concept and stuff they did at Wrestlemania. Well yes, of course they can come up with these things, but when they’re in the business of live event entertainment, most of those ideas have to take place in a wrestling ring in an arena. At the moment, they aren’t beholden to that restriction because none of the events are happening in front of paying fans. And to boot, they've done these sort of satellite location matches on PPV before, and it's reportedly always gone over like a fart in church with the live audience. |

If they continue this type of "creativity" after the virus, wrestling will change forever ... and for the worse. This isn't HBO. Leave it in the ring. These empty PC shows now are becoming a real life version of WCW Backstage Assault |

You buy a ticket to see the wrestlers live, not to watch them on a screen like you could’ve done from the comfort of your own home. Right now they can ply around a lot with locations, but that isn’t going to be a very viable option when they can sell tickets again. |

It’s almost like not being restricted to a crowd-filled arena opens up more creative possibilities for a TV show. |

Wait... Are you asking why they didn't have matches in a office building when there was live audience in an arena somewhere? Because that would be suck for the fans who paid money for those seats. Who wants to spend money to watch a match on a big screen for 45 minutes? This is the type of match that only works under these circumstances IMO. Regardless, that sounds crazy, but crazy enough to be awesome. I'm looking forward to it. No, I’m saying it takes some creativity to come up with an idea like that so where were those creative ideas when things were normal in WWE Because you can only do gimmicky matches and things of this nature so many times before it loses appeal and degrades your core product of just person vs. person physical competition. Your question is like asking why doesn't the NBA do something like the Dunk Contest or the MLB do the home run derby more frequently. |

I’m LITERALLY not talking about them doing this type of match over and over again. I’m talking about showing general creativity in the storylines and angles. If they can come up with something like this, they obviously have the creativity to do more in a feud than just have the people face each other every week leading up to the PPV. |

I don't understand how people aren't getting what you're saying, they're just using it as a platform to get themselves over. |

They did it before, so there's a good chance they do it post-pandemic if the feedback is good enough. Really though, anytime I check in on a WWE tv show a lot of the audience is looking at the screen the whole show. |
