The NBA has suspended its season. The NHL has suspended theirs. Major League Baseball is shuttered. NCAA Championships are canceled. Late-night shows have stopped recording. In the midst of a pandemic, our last bastion of live entertainment has turned out to be professional wrestling.
All Elite Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment have stepped up to find ways to entertain people who are self-isolating and social distancing in the midst of everything going on today. The one thing missing? The crowd. Sounds like a death blow for the squared circle, but can professional wrestling work without their crowd? This week on Stay Watchin’, let’s dive into the strangeness of watching professional wrestling without an audience. We’ll also get into the pros and cons of how each promotion put on their shows without the lifeblood of their business.
Whether you like wrestling or not, I hope this episode will be entertaining enough to help put a smile on your face during this trying time.
