By a show of hands, who saw this coming? Oh, all of you?
Courtesy of the Bleacher Report:
At least three WWE employees who have been at the Performance Center have tested positive for COVID-19 this week.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reported the positive tests include in-ring talent but no names have been given. WWE plans on conducting more tests ahead of tapings scheduled for this week.
A developmental talent who was last on WWE facilities June 9 previously tested positive for the virus, leading to a temporary halting in taping last week. WWE tested its talent and resumed taping later in the week.
Kevin Owens did not attend last week’s Raw tapings because of concerns over the virus. Some other top talent, including Roman Reigns, have chosen to not participate in WWE tapings during the pandemic over health concerns.
WWE has not missed a week of programming during the COVID-19 pandemic, instead choosing to film empty-arena shows at their performance center in Orlando. Florida has seen a massive spike in COVID cases in recent weeks, including a record of 5,508 cases reported Wednesday.
WWE has not publicly disclosed any protocols on social distancing or quarantining for its talent when they are not taping. The company did not begin doing coronavirus testing for its talent until earlier this month.
Remember back in April when the governor of Florida labeled pro-wrestling an “essential service” and we all predicted that they would see an outbreak of the Coronavirus and eventually have to shut down?
Yeah, how does it feel to be smarter than the governor of Florida?
I would say that the one smart choice the WWE people made was to ban a live audience.
So at least now they have not infected hundreds of people dumb enough to think that professional wrestling is actually a sport.
Though simply living in Florida right now is probably not that much safer.
Why not combine Nascar and wrestling and football into one sport? Add some country music and prayer services
Giant deplorable covid festival.
I would like the idiot from FL to explain how wrestling is an essential service.
guess the goal of covid-19 is to eliminate all the stupid, genetic junk, like the wwe.
According to Madhani and Lemire, “Trump’s team feels confident that approximately 40% of the electorate supports him and notes his approval rating has remained unusually stable during his term. The president’s campaign advisers believe it comes down to getting a bigger proportion of the smaller group of people who love Trump to turn out than the larger group of voters who express tepid support for Biden.” His 4th Base…

“The one thing he’s never been able to do with the presidency that he wants is monetize it,” Deutsch explained. “Imagine if Trump loses or drops the mic — and out of those 60 million people who voted for him, 6 million join the Trump Revolutionary Party and the Trump Revolutionary Network at $6.99 a month — and he makes $600 million a year. It’s a way for him to come out and finally monetize this thing. And don’t think he won’t say to himself, ‘I’m still the president of a third of this country, but I’m going to monetize it.’ Look for the Trump Revolutionary Network: $6.99 a month. That’s Trump’s drop-the-mic moment. It’s not that crazy.”

Gonna be hard to do all that from the slammer, don’t ya think?
A bag of hammers is smarter than the Gov of FloriDUH.
Gryph, being “smarter than the governor of Florida” isn’t exactly a high bar to clear! DeSantis has got to be the most clueless governor we’ve had in quite some time and that’s really saying something. Social distancing in a Hurricane shelter situation ought to be real interesting later on this summer.
“Talent” is not a word to reference any person in the WWE.
