https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/exclusives/wwe-talent-say-company-sent-memo-about-positive-coronavirus-covid-19-test

So wait, somebody who works for WWE but not "on the roster" has tested positive for Coronavirus and has last been at tapings on March 26 and they're still going on and they told talent it was "low risk" that any one of them got it.

Holy shit. The talent just needs to fucking unionize over this shit. The amount of irresponsibility is outrageous and if they ever had a chance to unionize, it would absolutely be right now while their nuts are in a vice over their TV contracts.

Pathetic, but expected.

Apparently Linda McMahon's Super PAC promised to spend millions of dollars in Florida, which is why they agreed to continue letting them run.

So WWE can keep taping just fine in my county and apparently the Florida Governor deemed professional sports essential yet I am not allowed to use the tennis court inside my neighborhood to play against my missus who spends all day quarantined with me.

I have literally never seen anyone use the tennis courts except for me since I've lived here (so 14 months). We also walk past the tennis courts every day when walking the dog anyway.

With the Wrestlemania tapings having occurred 2 and a half weeks ago, Rob Gronkowski already has the 4th longest single reign as 24/7 Champion.

1) Riddick Moss - 40 days
2) R Truth - 20 days in 1 reign
3) Samir Singh - 18 days
4) Gronk - 17 (or 16) days

Gross.

Stephanie Coueignoux of Spectrum News 13 and Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360 in Orlando are reporting that the Orange County Sheriff's office was called multiple times to the WWE Performance Center in recent weeks. Officials repeatedly told the company it was not in compliance with the existing laws and that the television tapings would have to be shut down. Even after the executive order was signed that deemed WWE to be an "essential" business, police were called to Monday's RAW tapings.

Here are notes from Coueignoux and Alba:

WWE is cutting/furloughing a lot of people (including talent and officials) as a result of the Corvid situation. EC3, Lio Rush, Curt Hawkins, Karl Anderson, and Drake Maverick are among those who were released.

Good news: apparently the producers were furloughed, so while they're not getting paychecks they still have benefits and jobs waiting for them when this is over.

Bad news: Primo, Epico, Sarah Logan, Rowan, and referee Mike Chioda are all gone.
