It's a strange time for wrestling. As the coronavirus outbreak continues to impact the entertainment industry, major wrestling promotions have had to reconfigure their approach to weekly shows while missing an essential element: live crowds.
For WWE, that meant moving events like Raw, Smackdown, and NXT from huge arenas to their performance center in Orlando, Florida.
As a result, this soap opera with muscles has become a Shakespearean experience as in-ring performers trade insults and blows in an eerie silence.
It's weird but still great. With WrestleMania just around the corner, the WWE has pushed creatively like never before to pull off what is essentially the Super Bowl of wrestling.
