Many big events and gatherings have been canceled around the world due to Caronovisrus.

Many different events have been canceled due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus. New Japan Pro Wrestling has canceled shows over the first 15 days of March. Sony, Microsoft, and Amazon pulled out of the upcoming Game Developers Conference in San Fransisco. Plus there are even talks about canceling the Olympics this summer in Tokyo.

A big upcoming event here in the United States is WrestleMania 36 and while speaking to the Tampa Bay Times, Stephanie McMahon commented on the safety of fans and wrestlers for the upcoming events.

“The health and safety of not only our fan base, but also our superstars, really does come first. We don’t want to put anyone in a bad situation ever, regardless of the circumstance. Those are not risks worth taking.”

WWE’s executive vice president of special events John Saboor also commented stating,

“Given the number of live events that (WWE) does, it’s constantly monitoring global events. There are active and ongoing discussions at play internally, like there are in any sector of American business, and certainly families as a whole. So I think those will continue.”

Not only will fans becoming into Tampa in early April to see all the various WWE events, but they will also be there for other pro wrestling events being held in Tampa and the surrounding areas as well. Fans will be coming in from all around the world, so there will be some concern with so many people coming together in one place.
