Fans Hilariously React to WWE's Refusal to Cancel Wrestlemania

The NBA and NHL have suspended their seasons, and the MLB has canceled the remainder of spring training and pushed the start of the season back by at least two weeks. Additionally, no plays will be shown on Broadway until April 12 , and numerous marathons , movie premieres, and concerts have either been postponed or canceled.

The one holdout? Wrestlemania . WrestleMania 36 is set to take place in Tampa, Florida on April 5, and while one would think that the event would be canceled, Forbes reported that Tampa city officials have agreed to let the event go on as scheduled.

During a press conference held on March 12, Hillsborough Commissioner Les Miller said that, "We came to the conclusion that at this point, we don't want to pull that plug. However we wanted to give it at least a week to see what was going to happen, if WWE was going to do anything at all. If they don't, at that point, I will suggest that we do come together for an emergency meeting to discuss what we do at that particular point in time."

However, most fans think that it may be dangerous for the event to continue, and they're letting their thoughts be known through memes, most of them directed at Vince McMahon, the chairman and CEO of WWE:

While the situation certainly isn't a laughing matter, it's nice to know that wrestling fans are taking what might (and should) be the eventual cancellation/postponement of WWE's flagship event in stride.
