Major WWE Travel Issues, Talent Stranded, MSG Changes

— The WWE show at Madison Square Garden has gone on as scheduled despite an ongoing blizzard in New York City right now. Most everyone flew in late last night/early this morning and were in NYC before the storm hit. The big issue will be making the 2 1/2 hour drive (on a normal day) north to Albany, NY late tonight/tomorrow morning for RAW. That is going to be a real issue as the storm will get worse as they head north of New York City towards Albany.

— Several Florida based talents, including Heath Slater, Alicia Fox, Sgt. Slaughter and Gail Kim were unable to fly in for the MSG show due to flight cancellations.

— Ring announcer Justin Roberts arrived late to the MSG event. The first few segments were handled by another WWE staffer.

— We were scheduled to do LIVE WWE RAW coverage tomorrow during the day with arrivals, backstage news, and more. This week’s RAW is being held in Albany, NY. This city is currently set to get 15-20 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. The storm is expected to taper off tomorrow afternoon/evening. We’re going to TRY our hardest to get you guys arrivals, backstage news, etc. etc. Our guy who normally does live arrivals and calls them back to me is going to try to make it down to the Times Union Center but it’s going to be crazy with all the snow, parking, etc etc. In addition to getting 15+ inches of snow, there are 50+ mph wind gusts here in Albany as I write this. There are also state of emergencies, power issues, etc. etc. that we are contending with. It’s freakin’ unreal outside right now and I’m praying that we don’t lose power here in the office. That would not be good – trust me. Nonetheless, we’ll be here posting news and rumors providing we have power. Our RAW coverage is in jeopardy but we’ll be sure to keep you guys posted with an update in the AM. For those of you in the Northeast feeling the brunt of this storm, please BE SAFE. You guys know what I’m talking about with this wind/snow. I figured I’d post this now to give you a heads up. We’ll see you tomorrow (hopefully)!!! Also note – there is no way in hell this week’s RAW will be cancelled. It’s a nationally televised event that 100% will be broadcast live. They’ll run with a limited crew if need be.
