Texas signed a new executive order permitting crowds at outdoor sporting events beginning today. 25% capacity. NFL is currently saying there will absolutely be a season and the plan now is for there to be some sort of crowd. At least a few teams are selling season tickets. Ohio State University is selling season tickets and believes it will be allowed to fill the stadium to 50% capacity. Supposedly, the governor told them that is feasible. Florida is (was?) planning to start admitting crowds beginning June 1. Multiple other sports organizations have supposedly been told they can start admitting some sort of crowd later this year. Dunno if any of this will happen - I'm somewhat skeptical - but it's certainly not a given that your source is right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he does is he provides internet connection to the venues. He is essentially a Network/Systems Admin but on a larger scale. Also controls the credit/debit card machines at the merch stands/food stands in the arenas. Many of them do not anticipate events at all this year. When he told me this I was crushed. I am a huge sports fan, don't laugh I am a Broncos fan and they are coming here this season and I really wanted to take my dad. We've never gone to a game together and it would be fun. Praying that this can still happen and that we do have fans, but I did want to relay the info I had as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I think there is too much money in American sports to have NO fans for all of 2020 in the major sports, bar a second wave. I would expect partial/token crowds in the fall. Edited May 29, 2020 by odessasteps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them be absolute students of tag team wrestling who use the moves and finishes of other teams constantly. The already did the old Brain Busters' spike piledriver on Wednesday night I need to see them bust out the Rocket Launcher, Steiner Bulldog, Le Bomb De Rougeau, etc. Have them beat the Bucks with a Meltzer Driver. Fuck it, shout out Steenerico with a package piledriver rolled into a brainbuster. Somebody needs to bring back the Steiner's DDT off the shoulders. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get back crowds next year, I'm prepared to live without crowds this year, but what I expect to happen is crowds at 25-50% capacity. My family has season tickets for the local NFL team and season tickets for several fall University sports. FWIW, the NFL team already contacted us about renewing our seats and we've received emails from the University about how they're going to handle season tickets this year (since less tickets will be sold this year). Lol, even our local farmer's market is reopening tomorrow. County Commission had been adamant that the farmer's market could not go on in person except for online orders, but they did a sudden about-face yesterday.

Thanks for that. I'll have to check it out when I clock out of work. I haven't cross posted or anything but they did an Inside the NWA video with Homicide and Hernandez. It was a pretty damn good interview that I would recommend checking out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 There are three tag finishers that I've seen and would like to see brought back: - the Road Warriors pre-Doomsday Device top rope powerslam (Animal on the top rope, Hawk gets the opponent up for a suplex but drapes them over Animal's shoulder, Animal drives them to the mat) - don't remember who did this, but one partner has the opponent up for a suplex, and the other partner does a crossbody off the top onto the opponent for the pin - maybe the Rockers? Same setup as #2, but instead of the crossbody, the partner missile dropkicks the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 A finish I never recall seeing in years is the one Ron and Rob Fuller did in the 70s. rob would backflip the opponent and Ron would catch the guy and then piledrive him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I always liked Harlem Heat's "Heat Seeker" where Stevie Ray has the guy up in the electric chair position and Booker comes in with a missile dropkick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this going to be a case where 25% of the seats are available but the prices are jacked up wildly because of supply/demand and cost analysis. I bet certain people would pay.
