I hope he has paid sick leave

 

WWE employees are independent contractors

 

Damn, I thought that was just the wrestlers

 

prettttty sure that isn't true

 

yeah, it definitely isnt: Total Rewards and Benefits

Imagine being an NXT person and learning that some mid-level schmoe has better salary and benefits than you

 

Yeah, but probably not as many Twitter followers

 

NJ Governor is calling to cancel gatherings of 250 people

 

Meltzer said the Stamford staff is mainly WFH now.


No Mania cancellation yet, Tampa seemed to think that WWE had a press conference about it already and will reconvene when it's closer to Mania.

 

lol every major sport organization has postponed everything for at least 2 weeks to 30 days yet WWE is just twiddling their thumbs

 

lol none of these people are on the same page

 

Wm gonna be in Sweden this year?

 

Of course this starts happening when GCW's first Detroit show is next week.

 

also every major and minor concert is being postponed as well as Broadway in NYC - it's insane that there has been no word on Mania

 

Livenation is postponing everything

 

AEW: 766k
NXT: 697k

 

right - that's what I'm saying - basically any concert or movie that was supposed to take place over the next two months have been delayed or postponed. WWE looks incredible bad right now but that's par for the course I guess

 

the WWE buried the Fiend for no reason!

 

Someone else brought up the possibility of Moxley/Barnett being cancelled AGAIN.

 

What's crazy is that out of all of the things....cancelling wrestling events seems the easiest. If they can cancel the fuckkng nba and march madness....

I get it. Wrestlemania is everything for this company. And they dont have to never have it. I think things will be back to normal eventually....and then you can have wrestlemania.

 

I'd honestly contend it's no longer everything for them, making it even dumber to hold out and leave everyone swinging in the wind. The two Saudi shows a year are way more profitable for them.

 

Sure but it's still one of the top driving forces for the company
