The COVID 19 pandemic is changing the landscape of everything around us. Last night, the NBA season was suspended after the first positive test for the virus by a player. Today, one of his teammates also tested positive for the virus. Today, Major League Soccer suspended its season, which is only a week old for 30 days as a result of the rapidly spreading virus.
Now, it's affecting professional wrestling. Last week we discussed New Japan canceling some dates, now it's gotten worse. The actions taken by the White House will affect many independent shows,starting immediately, and more importantly during WrestleMania week, which at this point is STILL up in the air.
SmackDown may or may not move for tomorrow night, AEW has already cancelled its arena for next week. The long term affects on our industry might not be known for months.
We are scheduled to be joined by our long time friend, ring announcer and promoter Paul Eubanks. We are sure he's going to have a lot to say about the situation. We are also reaching out to Rick "Crusher" Knopf as well as some other friends of the show to talk about the affect this is having now and may have to the long term health of our industry.
