NXT UK Takeover: Dublin - Show finally cancelled

Yeah none of this is anything to celebrate, but our rate of increase in a similar timescale is in a different league to the likes of the UK and Italy, and the low mortality rate so far is a credit to the heroic actions of those working in healthcare. Though some of the scenes from yesterday were infuriating and will no doubt have dire consequences in the not too distant future sadly.

I know it’s hard not to but it really is crazy to speculate with any degree of certainty what the situation will be in late April. The Paddy’s Day address was a week ago and feels like around a month at this stage, this is a day-to-day situation. You can point to other countries and their timelines, but that’s to forget that we can gain from progress they’ve made and research they’ve accrued. Nobody knows anything about what will happen yet and that’s the scariest part really.

Saw that, I really hope they don’t do that match tbh. They did that exact match with a storyline here already, give us something new.

the government have only postponed until 19th of April?

Question now is whether WWE will actually reschedule or move it to the UK PC

No doubt wwe could have the show written and planned out through networking but then you could have logistic issues and all that not been possible with travel bans etc

There were TV tapings scheduled for the week after Dublin in Bournemouth with Glasgow been next on the 24th/25th July. Hard to knw what will happen but very much hoping for a reschedule

3arena have updated their statement to say 19th of April

I still see it being extended past that date sadly.

Oh ya, I can’t see anyway this goes ahead in April!

There's a chance that Live Nation got word of measures to come and jumped the gun with their announcement. The same way pubs across the country announced they were closing just hours before Leo said they all had to shut - and the very same thing happened again with shops before the latest 'essential workers' announcement.

I think It was just a typo Tbh
They took the March statement which had the 29th in it, and just put April in

Then they edited it fairly quickly


The next extension will be early May you’d assume

I'd say they'll rewrite the current plan, especially with no Tampa happening either,
and just restart it in september ish

Have Walter interfere closer to

They will prob postpone the TV tapings for the start of May and hopefully get up and running again for the Glasgow tapings in July and maybe have another set of tapings in August/September which will lead up to Dublin

Hard to knw what's going on atm in WWE or the world for that fact

Theres no guarantee that they will reschedule the event in Dublin

Yeah the announcement came through their Dublin promoters.

following TV tapings have been cancelled
Bouremouth- 1st/2nd May
Download Festival
Glasgow- 24th/25th July

airing instead is a 'Best Of' show featuring Superstar interviews

Could replace Finn Balor on the lineup

Seems they ran out of recordings. Or taking a break to spread them out. This week was a look back at the beginnings of NXT UK.

Ya they’d taped up to the Dublin date.

Not everything is gone to pot

Things wont return to normal for a long time. Without a vaccine, it wont be realistic to have a typical wrestling event. Social distancing will be part of our life for the rest of the year at least.

nordie here so not up to date with this, where was this published etc, off topic but for the MCR gig in June i have a ticket for, thanks

Government announced on Tuesday,
All promoters are working to reschedule summer gigs

No refund until promoter has given ticketmaster clarification on cancel or new date..

no certainty of a vaccine, you think there may never be a wrestling show in ireland again?

Its so uncertain what will happen in the long term future. Experts predicting a stronger second wave by autumn and into the winter. We arent even past this intial wave yet. Its very hard to speculate what the future holds.

I cant see a lockdown being ended or even partially lifted by May 5th.

I can.

Very partially limited with certain businesses allowed open, construction sites open and certain WFH restrictions lifted with BIG regulations.

Having said that - events of any size (or pub openings) aint happening any time soon. I also can't see any gig going ahead that have been rescheduled for this year

In one way I can see it. Plenty of pressure to reduce the lockdown esp with the economy going to **** and unemployment rising among other factors.

On the other side while we have flattened the curve some what, we havent the testing capability to have an accurate picture of how many are infected and thus any relaxation of restrictions could have a negative effect.

Id rather see the lockdown continue currently to be cautious. But it all depends on the public health advice given in the coming days.

Social distancing required at events from August

This won’t be going ahead as planned anyway
