WWE deemed an essential service, returns to live televised shows

Professional sports in Florida are getting the green light to resume production after the Florida Governor's Office deemed them "essential services."

This is being added to the same list that includes services such as grocery stores, hospitals, banks, utility companies and restaurants.

The order that was signed on Thursday states that employees at professional sports and media production with a national audience can continue only if the location is closed to the general public. This essential service was added because it is critical to Florida's economy, officials told CNN.

World Wrestling Entertainment resumed live televised shows on Monday after weeks of taped matches, including their biggest event of the year, WrestleMania. The organization is producing new content for fans with the use of their training facility in Orlando.

Hey the rednecks need something to do besides smashing beer cans on their heads and setting off M80s.

But it will make people feel better. The WWE is small enough that they can probably pull this off if they are careful. It will make people feel better.

There are some big issues with bringing sports back. You need to keep all of the participants healthy the entire time. 1 sick participant will instantly shut you down.

I think Trump is well aware of "misery." That's why he wants the sports leagues back by the election, because misery will be through the roof if they're not.
