WrestleMania 36 to Stream Live

WrestleMania 36 was slated to be a live show in Tampa Bay… until Covid-19 hit US shores. However, the WWE is still planning on moving forward with the event by live streaming at the WWE Performance Center without fans. The event will be aired on PPV and the WWE Network. WWE Smackdown still aired last week, also to a crowdless arena, making the walk-in intros a bit… awkward.

Coronacrisis: Day 6

BAIL OUT?

Why it matters to you: We are all wondering if the government will step in to help our industry.

Let’s be frank…we are in unchartered waters here. Who among us could have imagined this scenario even a week ago! Of course, our community is nothing but resilient. This is clearly evidenced by the number of operators that have quickly converted their business model to be home delivery and carryout focused. For many of us, it may be the only business you do in the next few months. There are many already calling for direct relief from the Federal government for restaurants, but will it be enough or come in time?

None of us can know, but we also have to find ways to move forward. If you haven’t already done it, we strongly encourage you to communicate directly with your customers. Tell them what you are experiencing in direct and honest terms. From there you can share your plans and keep your connections. The alternative -- doing nothing -- means you will disappear without a peep.

Whether the government steps in will be determined in time, but for those of you that are closed altogether, this moment must be equal parts frustrating and terrifying. This will undoubtedly cause permanent closures, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Now is the time to start talking to your vendors, lenders, and landlords.

This among other topics will be discussed this Thursday at 5pm ET/2pm PT during our live chat event.

We can’t guarantee your business will survive these next few months, but we can promise to have an open and direct conversation about how you fight to keep your livelihood. We are as affected by this as every restaurant! So please know, we are in this fight with you, every step of the way.
