Why is wrestling an essential service

[Fambo Number Mive]

Why is it essential that people can watch live wrestling during the lockdown? It's saving lives by keeping the wrestlers, TV crews and backstage staff at home more important? Then again I know nothing about the sport.

Wrestling is infamous for being incedibly unethical and not really caring about anything but profit, including the wellbeing of their staff.

I'm ok with it so long as the wrestlers keep 6 ft apart at all times.

That would actually be entirely possible with snooker...

Enjoy!

To answer the question in the thread title: the WWE is run by a very weird old man who's friends with Donald Trump.  The entire industry is waiting for him to cark it by this point.

Linda McMahon committing to spend $18.5 million in Florida on the day it's announced that WWE is essential in Florida probably has nothing to do with it.

They'd be breathing and have hands all over the table frame and the baize though.

Is this cunt better or worse than Bernie Ecclestone (who I see is about to become a father again at 89)?

Bernie isn't jacked off his tits with HGH, steroids and testosterone

74-year old Vince McMahon, there.

Bernie hasn't been in charge of F1 since 2017 either, though he is an admirer of both Trump and Putin and believes women aren't physically capable of driving an F1 car.

Even Savile wouldn't rock that chain.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I realise there's probs photoshop, botox and possibly surgery going on, but his boat looks alright for 74.

[NoSleep]

It's the sport equivalent of having Trump for your President.
