Personal dumb opinion: WWE should, as an act of goodwill towards the indies, allow "Mania/Indy Week" to take place entirely at the performance center, pay all the talent, and air it on the Network. This would make up for WWE screwing the indies over.

Nah. They're under no obligation to anybody. It's not WWE's fault the country is on lockdown.

How on earth are WWE screwing the indies over? Did Vince release this virus? Did Vince ask every Tom, Dick and Harry to piggy back off the showcase event of the year?

It's not Mania Indy Week. It's Wrestlemania week and the indies are barnacles clinging to the blue whale. Obviously it's sad that people are going to suffer but suggesting it's the fault of WWE is just plain stupid

WWE didn't screw the indies over, the virus screwed the indies over. As horrible a situation as this is, WWE is pretty far removed from this situation.

If anything, WWE should be collectively slapped in the back of the head for being the last stalwart refusing to stop their events.

Oh, agreed, it's completely dumb. But doesn't really fall in the Venn Diagram of what's going on here.

Why the hell would it be their responsiblity? They didn't create the virus, they didnt ask other companies to book shows the same weekend as WM?

A virus screwed the indies and hundreds of small businesses, not WWE.

Act of goodwill towards the indies

Why?

Pay all the talent

Why?

Personal dumb opinion

Yup.

To add: The LAST thing WWE would want is to bring in MORE people -- people they don't know -- into a closed environment. The entire goal of social distancing is to do a bare minimum of in-person contact.

Well at least the second and third word of the thread title is accurate

PositiveTaiOP•

...is "personal" not accurate?

I'm clearly the only person who believes this.

I fully accept this is a stupid opinion sir, but I demand that it be acknowledged that THREE words are accurate!

I’m not entirely clear how you feel this would be WWE screwing anyone over. Because it’s not.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I work for a small business, and it really sucks for us, but we certainly don’t expect handouts from bigger companies in the same industry.

Uh how is this their responsibility. Plus I think WWE does enough for the indies this week by having a giant enough show to warrant people to travel in for the whole week and need a reason to go to other shows to fill out that week.
