The Covid-19 Outbreak's Effect on Independent Wrestling

As reported yesterday, this years Wrestlemania will be "one for the history books" as it will feature taped matches from the Performance Center and various other locations with no live audiences. The outbreak of Covid-19 has also affected other wrestling promotions across the country. All of the independent shows that were going to happen on Mania weekend have been postponed. Ring of Honor has canceled all of their events through the end of May. UFC (which ran an empty arena show recently) has pushed back their next three events and closed their offices. Those shows were to have taken place in London, Columbus, and Portland. UFC 249 is still on the books but UFC President Dana White isn’t sure about the location. AEW Dynamite shows will take place from closed set locations but those locations haven’t been revealed. Fans will also not get to see or experience next month's NWA Crockett Cup event since they have suspended normal operations until June as far as any live performances go.
