    The shows WWE presented from the PC felt so fucking lame. AEW was excellent tonight. I just worry that they will be pressured to social distance more.

    I am astounded over the fact that AEW has trounced WWE in one area this week, which is an area WWE has ALWAYS been dominant in....production value. AEW did empty arena wrestling better than WWE

    I haven't watched anything yet, but it makes sense. When was the last time WWE played to no audience. Most of the AEW roster including the high up guys, probably not been as long since the we're in front of crowds of dozens or less. Probably some better ideas how to deal with it.

    I liked that NXT didn't attempt to put on matches in the PC. That first hour of Ciampa/Gargano story was good. 2nd half the show they built up Balor and Ripley. I'm just fine with this being NXT for the next few weeks.

    AEW did put on a better empty show. It's still a empty show. Something is just not right with watching matches with no crowds. Sad for both Brody and Matt that they didn't get the pop's they should've. Also seem's like that may Jericho's next program and i'm meh on that.

    Sounds like most, if not all, of Mania is going to be pretaped. Probably better that way for 2 reasons. Less people in the building together at the same time, but also if it's empty crowd they can take a little time to edit it better maybe.

    I thought wrestling in empty arenas would suck but man AEW this last week was pretty great. Obviously not the same but that was a very entertaining show

    I thought it was funny you could see Brodie Lee walk out the tunnel before they zoomed in on the jumbotron. Then they come back to the ring and he's a "surprise" standing behind them

    Also sounds like 2 nights wont make WM anymore tolerable because rumor has it they may add to the already 16 matches since its split over 2 nights now. I'm not sure I'm going to watch mania this year

    Kids will love Gronkowski because he’s a big child. He won’t be anything other than a comedy act and if he’s fine with that then fuck it.
