Will Ospreay has Covid. Fully vaccinated so expects to be back in action soon.

Joe knows his audience and those drones have made him a multi millionaire.

"I will not poison my body with that vaccine......However, I will take horse medicine."

America is something else.

Podcast host Joe Rogan told his millions of followers Wednesday that he has Covid-19 and used ivermectin, a drug typically used on livestock that health experts have urged the public to avoid.

Rogan, host of the immensely popular Spotify podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience," posted a video to Instagram explaining he tested positive for the coronavirus following his return from a live show Saturday. He said he had “fevers and sweats” and that he “threw the kitchen sink” at the illness.

So a brand new commentary team for smackdown this week then given that Michael Cole was next to him twice in two days for extended periods of time.

Similar to WWE as a whole then

Well yeah but NXT seems to be it’s own island of stupidity when it comes to this virus. And it’s funny because the younger generation of wrestlers like to give off the air of being tolerant and all that but NXT seem he’ll bent on not doing what they are meant to. I think triple H or someone needs to stop tiptoeing around this lot and if needs be fire some of them.

Some of the NXT talent really don't seem to care with the amount of outbreaks there over the last year.

If that was the reason then Drew and Mia should be out the door as well.

Agent Coulson

Just reading that Vince was so livid that Steve Cutler caught Covid and that's why he was fired.

Vince had promised his top talent that they were in a safe environment and Cutler was out partying on New Years Eve when he and his girlfriend Deonna Purrazzo both caught it.

I'm in big tech here in the states. My employer has set up a full vaccination clinic this weekend to cover employees and even non-employees for those most vulnerable. It's free for everyone - nothing short of a miracle for US healthcare and the intention is to help the most vulnerable in the wider community to help get it rolled out faster for all employees eventually. Shocking that WWE even with their ties to the previous administration didn't at least try to secure some testing - if even for the most vulnerable.

How easy is it to source it independently though? You'd think it would be in WWE's best interest to get everyone vaxxed as quickly as possible so they cant get sick (and this goes for every other org too)

I presume America has something similar to us, and everywhere else, where the most vulnerable get it first. Young wrestlers at the peak of fitness will be far down that list. They can wait.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't, in my opinion. If they bought up a batch of vaccines to do all the wrestlers the same people who are criticising them for this would be saying "Why do they get to go first?!"

Anyway, half of them are probably anti-vax like that gowl Nia Jax.

Agent Coulson

I doubt the other billion dollar sports organizations NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and every other major professional sport active at the moment are telling there talent to **** off and source your own vaccine.

J. Marston

It's free so it's hardly that big of a deal.

Agent Coulson

WWE have informed talent they will not be providing them with the vaccine as they are independent contractors and they need to source there own if they want it.

Agent Coulson

Seems like Drew isn't the only one with Covid and there has been another major outbreak within the WWE.

Agent Coulson

Another unnamed NXT star tests positive,

WWE wins COVID-19 awareness award of the year

Cynopsis gave out their Model D awards and WWE and Americares received an award for the best COVID-19 Awareness campaign. The partnership involved WWE and Americare’s Safety Steps campaign, a digital campaign encouraging kids and others to wear masks and do their part to stop the spread of COVID-19.

I wonder how much the WWE paid for that award.

Agent Coulson

Looks like this might be the reason Mercedes Martinez left Retribution.

Well based on the numbers in WWE's released statement, though maths isn't my strong suit, so I could be wrong.

Only essential personnel? Watching this week's NXT, do they class fans as essential? It clearly wasn't only other wrestlers in attendance.
