Vince is known for saying “ there is no sick” I imagine he’s somewhere ranting he’s not doing the job to covid. 

 

 

An illness that makes you cough and sneeze would scare the shit out of Vince. No wonder he's in hiding.

Didn’t he tell jr “if your sick you might as well be sick at work as at home” 

cornette told a story of turning up to his house with flu for a booking meeting hoping vince would take pity and send him home. Needless to say he didn’t. 
 

“But on the flip side, I’ve been around when he has sneezed,” she said. “It’s just because he doesn’t like anything he can’t control. The fact he can’t control the sneeze makes him upset.”

Jake Roberts has just announced he's got Covid-19. And SuperTape 92, if you'd got another 200 quid for him @JakeRobertsParoleOfficer

I'm surprised he's not talking about having Covid 20 in keeping with his famous casino promo.

So have they scrapped testing and Roman went out of his way to test himself or has this thread been a waste of time?

Which also brings up the point as well that even if WWE have done away with testing, the talent can just test themselves anyway if they wish

I can understand why Reigns would want to keep testing given his history with leukemia and the potential for covid to affect him more adversely.

Sadly prophetic.

Essentially being told he was on his own does that.

If they wish being the key words. If they don’t wish then a man currently in remission from leukaemia has to take more risks than he should have to in his job.

That man has now tested positive which could be a severe risk to his health and,  while we’ll never know if it could have been stopped through WWE continuing testing, there is a chance it could have been picked up on someone before it spread to him.

All Valid Points of course but couldn't/shouldn't we then also lay blame at the wrestlers themselves as well as the company as a whole?

They know full well they will be in contact with someone Immunocompromised so even if it isn't mandatory to test you would like to think they ae all going to continue to do so anyway   

We can't feel sorry for them for having to work in such sloppy conditions if they still have the option to test themselves but choose not to 

I would hazard a guess Roman picked it up elsewhere though as he hasn't been on a WWE show since the week before Christmas, so it seems most likely he has caught it whilst travelling to the show tonight

Here's hoping Roman Reigns is going to be alright. The current strain of Covid seems to be spreading rapidly, but in my experience most people aren't as sick from it as from previous variants. Hopefully that's the case with Roman considering his situation.

You only have to look at how many football matches have been getting postponed for covid reasons and the likes of Novak Djokovic refusing to get vaccinated to see how a portion of professional sportspeople have been dealing with it, so it really doesn't surprise me that there's so little pushback from most of them when WWE decides they're stopping testing.

But there will always be the few that don't bother even if most do. They can spread it when a test would have told them not to wrestle.
