Update on WWE going live: Vince McMahon, "Essential," more
Added 2020-04-11 02:02:04 +0000 UTCIn regards to Pro Wrestling Sheet's report of WWE going live regularly again next week, we heard the same thing during WWE Smackdown. Fightful was told that a "very aggressive" Vince McMahon made the decision that their broadcasters pay for live content, and many on the talent roster are unhappy about it. He was at the Friday Smackdown. Some at the WWE tapings were given a letter in case they were questioned by law enforcement, stating that they are "essential media."

2020-04-12 16:43:26 +0000 UTCI really hate being this guy but I assume anyone here upset with this is upset with the other company doing the same thing, yes ?

2020-04-11 03:24:24 +0000 UTCI mean I sell shoes. My store is closed to the public. But I still have to go in. I have a paper saying I’m essential. I feel like right now essential is a vague term.
