>>7822369>Name one other time when pro-wrestling companies had to figure out how to do pro-wrestling without a live audience?Colt has plenty of experience working empty rooms, kek.
They were taping TV. They even had their jobbers in the crowd. It wasn't a big deal at all, they were just spinning it as difficult for pity.
I have seen half of those guys working with smaller crowds than they had for those tapings.
>>7822385Well the Bucks have a history of doing this shit, I am unfairly calling their entire buddy group the Bucks; Cutler, Best Friends etc. From the early reports it was obvious that Chuck Taylor was leaking to Dave since Dave kept mentioning Chuck was there and that was not reported at all otherwise. It doesn't matter who started the rumours or who spread them, the problem is that are didn't publicly reach out to comment on them and shut the rumours down. Tony is on personal terms with all of the dirt sheets, he talks to them all constantly and appears on their podcasts etc. He could and should have responded to the rumours immediately. It's his fault. If a problem isn't managed it will become a bigger problem, he is the person on charge. If people are acting like babies backstage then someone needs to tell them to fuck off being babies. That's Tony's job. But he's too busy trying to impress them all instead. He's the boss, he needs to act like the boss.
It's a stupid problem to begin with and it could have easily been solved.
He needs to publicly comment on it and just say what happened and clear it. The drama would evaporate quickly. People who are in the wrong just need to say sorry, it's not a big deal. But no, it blew up needlessly. He can still fix it pretty easily but it will make him have to admit he was wrong and he will never do that, even though everyone else who knows he exists is constantly explaining how he is doing things wrong.
