Curt McGirt Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I'm waiting for AEW to announce Double Or Nothing in Florida now only for WWE to try and shut them out like they were trying to run the Hammerstein Ballroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By focusing on the economy before the medical solution, you're not fixing the economy- you're getting to the unsavory answer of "if we elected a businessman who promised to lead the country like a business...what's he going to do when the answer is making layoffs?" The answer is "blame somebody else." Current target is the World Health Organization. It'll be someone else's fault tomorrow. Any solution that's not "flatten the curve and do whatever we can to solve the health piece of this first" is just a dressed up version of "some people might have to die to keep the economy going." And to appeal to the narcissists in power who only consider their image, how about this: if we "jump start the economy" sooner, and there's a second outbreak because the first never ended, they'll look even worse. But yes, by all means, let's hold a WWE arena show in May and see how it goes. It's not like Japan held a handful of shows and people got sick, right? How about we take all the people itching sacrifice others to open things up again, and let THEM go do the work while the rest of us stay home and get healthy? Darwin, do your thing!

Maybe. The infectious disease experts working with the government (Fauci and Birx) say they think it's realistic that Americans will be able to go on summer vacation and school in the fall. The ,model most experts using predicts the death toll could fall to zero by late June. Governors are already meeting about how soon they can reopen the economy. Sports leagues will try to come back in some capacity. Things won't be completely normal - and may not even be vaguely normal - but there will be probably more normalacy than people expect. The likeliest scenario seems to be intermittent rolling lockdowns when hotspots emerge. It all depends on how well the government gets it's act together to do mass testing and contact tracing (so we're probably screwed). Also, a cure's not a given. Lots of diseases we have never managed to cure. Though, in that case, herd immunity hopefully becomes in thing in a couple of years. I'm at least mildly hopeful, if only for my own sanity. I don't really see any quality of life with social distancing, so if extreme social distancing is the new norm, I'm don't expect to last long.

Do you really think those people are pushing for that? It’s pretty obvious who wants to pretend there isn’t an issue. You know the people that called it a hoax two months ago, and wanted to re-open everything for Easter. Sure eventually those doctors will come around because of who writes their checks. But, c’mon...

Sublime Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Since this is a virus we're dealing with it's very unlikely there will be a cure for it but a vaccine will happen but we're probably a year from that being available to the public. Coming from a public health background I think we're going to start to see lockdowns eased by the end of summer. There are going to have to be systemic changes to our ways of life which is going to be the difficult thing but I think we'll see restaurants open back up to the public by end of summer, but with drastically less seating and changes in how people wait. And non-essential stores will start opening with capacity limits. Large scale sporting events with public audiences probably aren't coming back til I'd guess MLB opening day 2021 at the earliest, though Vince will probably try to get Mania to be the first one back.

He's one of the leading infectious disease experts in the world and has advised several administrations on infectious diseases in the past. All I know is what various experts and models are saying.

AxB Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Apparently Bob Arum is looking at the possibility of doing live Boxing shows from the WWE Performance Centre. The other big controversy in quarantine sports is Hafthor Bjornson is trying to break Eddie Hall's 500kg deadlift record from his own gym, streamed online and everyone in Strongman is debating whether records can only be set in formal competition or not.

ROH vs. CZW at the 100th ROH show and especially the Cage of Death at Death Before Dishonor IV.
