Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 414

Elgin’s statement is so absurdly outrageous. I’m legitimately angry.

 

I have never wanted to wear a wrestling shirt. I would wear that wrestling shirt.

 

OC actually making me have to purchase white t-shirts for once.

 

lol of course they are still taping

 

just a major yikes - I dunno why WWE keeps their talent in the dark

• Per Insider, some wrestlers on the roster are in “disbelief” that others in the locker room have continued going out to bars and other gatherings - and posted about it social media- since the company informed them of the additional COVID cases earlier this week.

• Wresters have contacted Fightful to ask about the number of positive tests, stating the site would “know better than them.” Sean Ross Sapp writes the wrestlers don’t know how man tests have been administered, “let alone who tested positive.” That’s in contrast to the first COVID case around WrestleMania 36, where the company provided information on who tested positive, how they were exposed, and what their prognosis was in an internal memo.

• Some PC talents were not asked to come in for testing until this week, according to Fightful. The site also posted a message it says was sent to all NXT talent yesterday at 9 a.m. - “Per Vince, ALL Talent are needed for TV on Friday & Saturday. Please go to PC by 10:30 AM TODAY for drive-through COVID testing. if you took test yesterday, you don’t need to today. If you are in high level storyline, you will be off camera. Thanks. **IMPORTANT: after test, you will need to remain ISOLATED AND QUARANTINED until after the TV tapings.” Many missed that deadline on short notice, and as of 5 p.m. were still awaiting information about when the next tests would be available.

• Sapp also claims numerous NXT and PC talent had reservations about attending WWE’s Raw and SmackDown tapings today and tomorrow after this week’s news, but “were urged to come in even after expressing that they weren’t comfortable doing so.”

 

Why are there even bars open?? I thought numbers in the US are going up. Smaller bars aren't even open here again yet..

 

Tweeted roughly the same time

 

The governors would rather risk covid contagion than freeze rent for a few months

 

Good.

 

lol they're reairing the boneyard match, might not be any wrestling tonight

 

Our stupid ass governor took our reopening from 0 to 100 in like two weeks. Refused for weeks to let cities enforce masks. Just this week he started letting businesses enforce masks on a local level but refuses to mandate it on a state level. Also just today he reduced restaurant capacity back down to 50% and closed bars. Fucking stupid

 

storytime with braun strowman

 

Lol wtf

 

Why the hell would you have a singles match such as that when the entire feud is about the title and it’s a non title match?

 

Non title for a cinematic makes sense to me.

 

Probably just to make it a strowman/fiend showdown at summerslam

 

Honestly that was the best promo Braun has cut. I’ll tune in for this one match.

 

Good god I love Fire Pro

 

Holy fuck

 

This dude really made a 13 minute long video with jump cuts like that was the way to go.

 

I....I am not surprised by this
