So it's looking like Chikara and Wrestle Factory are going to die a death now.

damn everything

---

Tons of people are jumping ship from all roles at Chikara, from what I've seen.

---

Yep. Hopefully something better can be rebuilt from its ashes.

I dont know how thorough it is but there are lots of shows going back to the beginning

Probably someday? All their past shows except AEW Dark episodes are on B/R Live but you still have to pay for the PPVs. They sell all 3 2019 PPVs in a value pack at least, lol
---

Ok yeah STARDOM Worlds archives are spotty but there is a large amount of stuff
---

Moxley and QT off of Dynamite tonight because they were in contact with someone else who tested positive. Gonna quarantine until they can get tested at home
---

Good on AEW. What does WWE do about Renee Young then?

Oh, and BTE is removing episodes that highly feature Joey Ryan and Marty Scurll, and they've edited BTE 199 to remove both of them.

---

Well Backstage is canceled so they dont need Renee for anything any time soon
---

She doesn't do interviews and stuff still?

---

No. Thats pretty much been her only role for months
---

Multiple people have tested positive for Coronavirus that have been working at the Performance Center.

---

Lol https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1275887097476513792?s=19

---

Fuck WWE and fuck AEW for continuing to run shows during this Pandemic and especially in Florida where we are spiking like crazy.

---

AEW tests everyone before every taping and is as safe as they can possibly be about it. They are literally the only ones out of every sport doing this right.

"As safe as they can possibly be" is not running any shows at all. Because wrestling is not a fucking essential business.

They don't get a pass because they are slightly less dirtbags than WWE.

Like they had crowds first which was literally against the recommendation of not having gatherings of 10.

---

Okay, but they literally know that nobody there has Coronavirus before each show. That's the difference. And they're in an open arena.

Like there's a 0% chance anyone can get or spread Coronavirus there.

---

Dirtsheets say that WWE's Coronavirus results may come back with roughly two dozen people, but they're only telling talent there's only been a few positive results.

---

CHIKARA is officially closed

Good riddance
---

Well fuck. So much for my happy wrestling place.

Wish it could have lived up to the image it portrayed and I hope those wrestlers can continue on and find something new. And that some other fun focused silly wrestling can come around to take CHIKARAs place.

---

Oof

https://twitter.com/PWTorch/status/1275936108992495616?s=20

Edit: Almost minutes after Meltzer posted that, WWE came out with a statement that they're basically going to do the AEW route of testing everyone before tapings.

---

WWE: We feel no neccessity to do this thing.
*Immediately after something bad happens as result of not doing the thing*
WWE: WE NEED TO DO THE THING NOW!

Typical WWE response whenever something of this nature happens.

---

Mystery solved about who Moxley was around that had the virus

https://twitter.com/reneeyoungwwe/status/1275990425359118336?s=21

So all this grossly irresponsible neglect was just to ruin AEW's program! Oh WWE, how petty can you get?

https://twitter.com/JaimsVanDerBeek/status/1276238410978492416?s=20

Apparently whatever number is floating around about the number of WWE employees with COVID, it's way worse. Jesus Christ this company.

---

UH.

TNA stripped Tessa of her title and fired her.

Better late than never I guess.

Edit: ...Apparently it was because she didn't want to travel during the pandemic though? Wtf.

Edit edit: That about sums it up. https://twitter.com/TrevorDame/status/1276341074592698368?s=20

---

WWE hired an extra who got COVID and he's freaking out now because his wife is pregnant.

What the fuck.

Edit: Worth noting is the doctor just told him he had COVID and then didn't offer any medical advice

---

Apparently it was Dunn who pushed for WWE not to have people wear masks.

Also, the Velveteen Dream might be on his way out of WWE and not just solely because of the allegations.

---

People are saying they were planning on releasing Dream today.

---

I see people are stating that the 10 people applauding Taker tonight on Smackdown were the only people who didn't test positive for Coronavirus on Smackdown.

I don't know how true it is... but my god.

---

On a more positive note, Adam Cole wrestling himself.

Moxley and Renee Young wanted the entire story out about Renee's Coronavirus situation and it showed in the new WON.

Details we didn't already know:

• Renee Young was in horrible, miserable shape. WWE did a test for Renee, it came back negative, so she took a test herself and it came back positive.
• She thinks she got it from a female wrestler on NXT she was working with that tested positive before WWE panicked and started doing actual tests.
• WWE is pissed at Renee for coming out and saying she had Coronavirus.
• WWE hasn't informed anyone in the company about the extent of the outbreak (which is apparently really, really fucking out of control).
• Vince, Dunn, Hunter, and Carrano never reached out to Renee to see how she was doing after they knew she had Coronavirus.
• Talent was very upset that WWE allowed fans to the show since they thought there was more chance of them catching Coronavirus with them there.

This is fucked.

Part of Dave's take on Tessa. lol

WWE passed on her with full knowledge of her talent years back, but she is also a far better and more experienced performer than she was at that time, and womens wrestling is also higher priority. This isnt to say AEW or ROH shouldnt go after her. AEW could use her better than WWE likely would, and could even have her father manage her. Whatever negativity from the fan base would largely go away with an apology, and after this past week, there are dozens of targets that would be in front of her on various lists.

I feel like Dave has simultaneously been paying a ton of attention to what's going on in the world while also paying no attention to it.

---

If she was going to apologize, she already would have

Where is all this? Just cause I don't see it on any social media.

She'll apologize if it's the only way to get work.

---

It's in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that just released, TheRock.

I mean, Tessa apologizing for being a racist does not go over well at the massive BLM movement going on right now. And Tessa apologizing for bullying a ton of wrestlers does not go down well with how wrestling is trying to oust the filth now. Especially after she already doubled down and claimed this was all fake and from people who just want to tear her down for being successful. And quite literally at this point, it would be painfully obvious she would be apologizing just because she had successfully ruined every chance at her working for a major promotion now.

---

Yeah, she had the chance to apologize and instead basically just said "They're jealous of me."

That chance is long gone.

Always suspected Ryder was an idiot, but this cements it for me. Didn't he suffer from cancer in the past? Would he not be considered within the vulnerable group?

One thing I did when the 2000s ended was compare the first Raw of the decade to the last. Here's how the 2010s fare...

January 4, 2010
Maryse defeated Brie Bella (w/ Nikki Bella)
MVP defeated Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, and Carlito in a Fatal 4-Way match
Triple H & Shawn Michaels (c) (w/ Hornswoggle) defeated Chris Jericho & the Big Show to retain the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships
Sheamus defeated Evan Bourne
Randy Orton defeated Kofi Kingston
- Headline of Raw was Bret Hart's first appearance in 13 years as he and HBK bury the hatchet, and a segment with Vince plants the seeds for their match at Wrestlemania.

December 30, 2019
Aleister Black defeated Buddy Murphy
Erick Rowan defeated Kip Stevens
Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya
The Street Profits defeated the OC
Drew McIntyre defeated Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins
Andrade (with Zelina Vega) defeated Ricochet in a non-title match
- Headline of Raw was the wedding between Lashley and Lana that featured interference by Rusev and Liv Morgan

From the 2010 Raw...
Active in WWE: MVP, Sheamus, Orton, Kofi
Part-time in WWE: HHH, Big Show
Might show up for a random promo: HBK, Mark Henry
Taking time off due to kids: Maryse
Probably retired: The Bellas
AEW: Chris Jericho, Jack Swagger
lol: Carlito, Evan Bourne, Hornswoggle
