The Real Reason Wrestling Has Never Been So Hard To Watch

Raw went live again, but stories broke of WWE working overtime to get as much taped as possible at the Performance Center, Full Sail University and anywhere else they had access too before restrictions got even tighter. The tapings included WrestleMania.

'The Grandaddy Of Em All' will exist this year in name alone, even if WWE shoot a series of insane mini movies and empty arena brawls that attempt to provide satisfying conclusions to all the major stories.

You're allowed not to be excited about this, even if WWE are pushing forward saying it's "Too Big For Just One Night" and selling shirts inviting folk to get in on the patter.

On March 25th, AEW and NXT both put forth enjoyable offerings, yet both stood as monuments for two companies that still seem to be acting as if they're beyond concern for the one thing everybody else is. Grandparents can't hug their grandchildren but wrestlers continue to lock up. It's an act of courtesy to walk on the opposite side of the road to somebody else having their mandated hour of fresh air in real life, but on television tag matches require a minimum of five people to be in a 20x20 area. A high five between neighbours is ill-advised but a hurricanrana between opponents is above board?

Workplaces have been closed down but the workers keep working. Wrestling is escaping the consequences the world faces, rather than being the escape itself.
