Sooner or later someone on the roster is going to test positive for it and that will be all she wrote.

Any way they can do a story where all wrestlers are gathered by the locker room leader to address that some have been mailing it in and not delivering then proposes a tournament type where all will battle for that episode until one remains? And since there will be no fans, other wrestlers will watch to "scout and take notes".

Like, Sheamus has been complaining about the quality of wrestling, maybe start off there. Winners will be challengers for the Universal and Women's Titles.

How weird is it going to be for SCSA to celebrate 3/16 Day with no fans? If anyone can find a way to make it interesting, it's him. Maybe he'll have a beer with Kevin Owens. The least Owens can do for Steve is take a stunner.

Crazy.
Tonight, three hours under these circumstances will be very strange.

I understand this empty stadium thing is odd, but do they really need to kill an hour + on a royal rumble replay? They should be doing matches, promos, backstage stuff, etc

Or better yet, considering that today is Steve Austin day, why not fill that hour+ with Austin highlights and promos?? I would've atleast did that, and included some of his ECW stuff

Cornette on his youtube channel/podcast had a good idea (well, how he'd handle it).

You do backstage stuff and promos etc and segments and basically what you can as well and then basically do best of shows and explain that because of this, why there isn't normal programming.

honestly i think that would be a good compromise.

Byron Saxton was the MVP of the episode.

Promos have been solid and sincere but man do I miss crowds

And that botch by Cedric, not kicking out. Ref made it obvious

I think he was out of it.
The replay looked brutal.

everything about their empty arena shows is just plain awkward. They should just do conversational sit down interviews instead of "promos".

Was listening to a podcast with Woj interviewing the Nuggets President and it turned into a discussion
about 70's and 80's wrestling. Didn't know WOJ was a big fan was talking about Zybsko turning on Bruno,
and how he thought the Wild Samoans were really crazy and was surprised as a kid to see they actually
drove (to his high school for a house show). Also said he had no idea who Ric Flair and Nick Bockwinkel
were until he'd get the monthly wrestling magazines at the store. Nuggets President talked about how
Nikolai Volkoff wasn't really Russian and was Croatian and how Kamala was so scared of Andre the Giant
because of some beef they had he hid a gun in his trunks for 2 months. WOJ joked that Iron Sheik went
from Iran to Iraq depending on which conflict the U.S. was at the time lol

They joked they should start a wrestling podcast during the virus

Imagine if WOJ started reporting on wrestling? it would be like having a credible Dave Meltzer

Post #1140 » by **Stanford** » Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:56 am

Meltzer is fairly credible. He only reports what he's fed. It's just that he reports on a carny ass sport where no one tells the truth.
