DON CALLIS' IMPACT EXEC EXIT, WWE RETURNING TO LIVE EVENTS AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2021-05-21 10:00:00

I saw WWE announced a return to live events.  Will they be doing full capacity?

My guess is that they will adhere to whatever the local rules are and that they will focus on running places where they can maximize having the biggest crowds.

Will they have the plastic around ringside?

They didn't have it at Wrestlemania, so I don't believe they will.

Do you think the experience will change?

My guess is they will do as much contactless tickets and merchandise sales as possible, but beyond that, no.

How will Don Callis leaving Impact as an exec change their relationship with New Japan?

We are told there will be no change.  Scott D'Amore was very much at the forefront of repairing that relationship as anyone.

Does Callis leaving mean D'Amore could be out as well?

No.  One has nothing to do with the other.  D'Amore is the lead day to day guy.
