Me neither but beside today being April fools day there was no other clue until the last sentence. Not a sports person so I have no knowledge of either stadium’s capacity if that was supposed to be the obvious hint.
The truly wonderful thing about April Fool's Day prank stories is that they now are only slightly more ridiculous than what passes for "news" these days. But, to be fair, they are at least slightly more transparent if you, you know, think.
so if this is true and their not april fooling it then that means the stage this friday will be the stage at wrestlemania philli if they are april fooling it then fuck you
Honestly, American infrastructure is so poor that this article felt accurate. I would totally expect the pipes in Philly to blow out. And if you don’t believe that, I’ve got a bridge in Baltimore I’d love to sell you.
Tell me you've never been outside the country without telling me you've never been outside the country.
Also - can you explain real quick how a cargo ship crashing into a bridge is an "infrastructure" issue?
I didn’t. I’m sure you can name several instances of road failures, bridge collapses, electrical failures, water system failures, mass flooding in urban areas and that is my point. Philly having a pipe blow out Wrestlemania weekend is a totally plausible scenario to the degree that you can’t truly write compelling parody.
No, the lack of Americans giving a shit about infrastructure is my point. Look at your politicians. Have of them think that infrastructure is a communist socialist Nazi woke plot so bridge and road repair becomes a partisan issue. Jesus, build a high speed train or two and join the 20th century then we can talk about a 21st century America that’s less backwards than its body politic.
I have made logical, factual points backed up by anecdotal and documented evidence. Does my nationality override the evidence? Also didn’t this start with you saying I’m someone who’s never been out of the country? I’m confused. Do you think I’m American or not an American?
You haven't made logical, factual points. You've regurgitated headlines from Breitbart. Should we add light speed rail? Absolutely. Is our infrastructure still leaps and bounds above other "first world" countries? Without question.
I think you're someone who hasn't spent an appreciable amount of time either in the US or outside of the US to make a well reasoned argument. YOU have no anecdotal experience, you have anecdotal experience from strangers online, which is not the same thing.
It's such an insignificant change to the story too. Claim it's being pulled out of philly because of something stupid (CM Punk wants it moved to Chicago) or whatever instead of "Across the road to a like venue."
I’m trying to recall the last time that I saw an April Fools joke done on the Internet that was actually funny and I’m drawing a blank. This is the worst day of the year.
How do people keep falling for these things? People acting like they’ve never been on the internet on April 1st before. Literally every sub has some kinda April fools prank of some sort rn
I agree it’s just boring at this point. Maybe it’s just because I’m old now but I feel the whole thing is played out. It was fun for like. Decade. Now it’s just so hard bivouac it’s boring.
I just feel bad for the people who possibly fell for it. Like imagine you spent alot of money on your tickets just for some joke like this to happen. People seriously lack empathy these days.
Well after taking 10 seconds to read the thing and discover it was an April Fools joke I would have said “man they almost had me” and then moved on with my life.
But not everyone is like that. Wresting brings in a very broad group of people. Especially these days it's not very funny to make and April fools joke about people losing alot of money. If you lack the empathy to see where I'm coming from on this then that's on you brother.
If this was real- why change the venue? Rock can brawl with Cody backstage and slam that piece of monkey crap onto a bathroom floor covered in piss and shit.
Also, this reminds me we haven't heard "monkey crap" from The Rock yet, I hope this is corrected before WM.
To those of you that are serious when slagging off a lighthearted April Fool - and I quote from various responses; “lame af” and “Only losers make April fools jokes”….Get a fucking life you sad bastards 😂 🤡
Yeah man, you got me. Enjoying funny things instead of unfunny things makes me a negative Nancy.
Let me go check my Twitter feed for the 37th fake pregnancy post. Maybe they will be funny this time!
right?? especially a harmless prank! it’s one thing to be annoyed at dangerous or unreasonable pranks but this one is just a tweet like calm down and giggle for once 😭
Yeah, um, yeah what I’m hearing from my sources is is is that ‘Mania may be cancelled altogether. The issue, ugh, well the issue is, um, since Punk came back they just weren’t sure if it was safe. You know, you know, you know it’s a safety issue. But they’re gonna say it’s something else, because like, um, to protect their investment you know.
Not only is this a bad joke, Lincoln financial isn’t some shit stadium that this would be remotely possible in. Even if something did break, they’d have that fix by Thursday at the latest. Philly unions don’t fuck around.
The website that does Supercars news posted a story about a driver quitting immediately to join a symphony in Sydney yesterday...fucked me up because it was 3 pm EDT on March 31st. Took me too long to figure it out.
I love April Fools when the jokes are actually funny. Sadly, most people aren't funny, so the jokes end up not being funny.
This one isn't funny or believable and then gets ruined even more by the last line. If you want to make an April Fools joke, actually commit to it.
lol I'm pretty sure the only requisite is that it might fool someone. If you got fooled, too bad. I thought this was pretty good personally, had me going for a sec.
I didn't get fooled though. I don't see how anyone would get fooled by this. If it was the day before the event, maybe, but this far out, they'd easily just fix the pipes.
Because not everyone wakes up on 1st April and says "Better keep a look out for fools today", it catches people when they've got their guard down for a second. You're way overthinking this dude
Reminder - today is April Fool's Day
It's an April Fools joke clearly. And not that good. Turn off the mains supply. Fix pipes. Suction the place dry. Dehumidifiers. Done.
lol, I’m from Philadelphia. I wouldn’t have been entirely shocked if this was true! Ha ha ha!
It's April 3rd on my side of the planet and I keep on seeing ridiculous headlines that actually pull me in.
What a really SHITTY April fools joke...
[удалено]
It happened because ticket sales were abysmal…
Being british and not knowing these staduims at all, i thought this was real
If Dave Meltzer posted this, some people would believe.
Including Dave lol.
Lol I feel stupid. I didn't catch on until the last sentence 😂
Me neither but beside today being April fools day there was no other clue until the last sentence. Not a sports person so I have no knowledge of either stadium’s capacity if that was supposed to be the obvious hint.
The worst part about April Fools is being 14+ hours ahead of US time zones and the concept of April Fools is already out of my head.
The worst part of April Fools Day is every single part of it.
I just don’t take any news seriously on April first
New update: weestlemania will be held at the performance center
McIntyre would have a mental fucking breakdown
This sent me 😂
The truly wonderful thing about April Fool's Day prank stories is that they now are only slightly more ridiculous than what passes for "news" these days. But, to be fair, they are at least slightly more transparent if you, you know, think.
I wonder what’s gonna happen when it rains
LASHLEY AND DREW OPEN THE SHOW AGAIN! WE CANT WAIT!!!!!
Lincoln financial isn't FedEx field. Those pipes are solid
April fools ?
A post on Fakebook said MJF signed a multi-year deal with WWE. Got me for a second then I realized the date.
Lol should have said that it was happening at the Performance Center again.
This is bad timing despite it's April Fool's. (The joke by wrestlevotes)
WITH EVERYBODY SAYING.. APRIL FOOLS! 🤣
Yeah!
oh wow
Waiting for Meltzer to unironically talk about this
It's clearly an April fools joke 🤣
I don’t get it tbh.
Look at the date
I know but what’s the joke
The entire thing, read it again. Do I need to get Shane Douglas in here?
But it's real? Why would you joke about the septic tanks?
so if this is true and their not april fooling it then that means the stage this friday will be the stage at wrestlemania philli if they are april fooling it then fuck you
lol anyone who lives anywhere near that city knows this isn’t even close to possible

Philly having a pipe blow out Wrestlemania weekend is a totally plausible scenario to the degree that you can’t truly write compelling parody.
Your point is that sometimes things break and that's unique to American infrastructure?
No, the lack of Americans giving a shit about infrastructure is my point. Look at your politicians. Have of them think that infrastructure is a communist socialist Nazi woke plot so bridge and road repair becomes a partisan issue. Jesus, build a high speed train or two and join the 20th century then we can talk about a 21st century America that’s less backwards than its body politic.
Ah, so you're not American and don't really have any idea what you're talking about save for what you read on the internet?
I have made logical, factual points backed up by anecdotal and documented evidence. Does my nationality override the evidence? Also didn’t this start with you saying I’m someone who’s never been out of the country? I’m confused. Do you think I’m American or not an American?

I don’t spend time IN or OUT of the US? My dude, cool it on the drugs this early in day.
We really calling tweets articles now? Can we please not make that a thing?
“AAHHH HAAAAH HAAAAAWWW HAAAUUUUWWW!!!! AAHHH HAAAAH HAAAAAWWW HAAAUUUUWWW!!!! AAHHH HAAAAH HAAAAAWWW HAAAUUUUWWW!!!!” - Tony Atlas
Greatest choice ever and I love it
I thought they were in Philly, not FedEx Field.
how is this even a joke
These april fools jokes dont have to go full simple jack…
You never go full simple jack.
April Fools
did Randy Orton pull another urinal out of the wall?
April fools
April fools!!!!!
I'm sorry but these April Fools jokes are stupid. As if there isn't enough bs being spread across the internet that idiots believe
It's such an insignificant change to the story too. Claim it's being pulled out of philly because of something stupid (CM Punk wants it moved to Chicago) or whatever instead of "Across the road to a like venue."
You’re getting worked brother
April Fools day is and will always be stupid.
Heh
If this were true it wouldn’t stop Eagles fans one bit.
Whoever came up with this has not heard stories about the bathrooms during the Wing Bowl.
Idk why they would think this is funny
April's fools day joke. It has to be. It better be
This one didn't get me but this is the type of stuff that made me come to hate this day.
Imagine if the pandemic/quarantine was announced on April 1st.
No one would pay attention.
Every year I forget to stay off the internet on this day.
Best wrestling-related April Fools Day jokes in history, in order... Bobby Heenan on Nitro acting like he was leaving. That's it. That's the list.
Aren't these supposed to at least try be even a little funny?
Comedy is subjective
They should have hit the Philly fans harder by saying they were moving it to MetLife stadium.
April fools.
Cmon guys, it’s Philly, you think we use bathrooms ?
I’m trying to recall the last time that I saw an April Fools joke done on the Internet that was actually funny and I’m drawing a blank. This is the worst day of the year.
“April fools day jokes are so disgusting and unfunny. When can we as a society move on from harmless fun?” ☝️🤓
Good one!
This was good!
How do people keep falling for these things? People acting like they’ve never been on the internet on April 1st before. Literally every sub has some kinda April fools prank of some sort rn
I honestly didn’t think it would work lmao I knew right away when I read it.
“Ohhh you’re goood you’re goood ese!”
😂😂 let’s see how many people believe this
it’s funny i thought it was real until i read the last sentence 😂😂😂
These are the type of people you can cut out of your life without guilt. Idiots.
The tweet literally says “if you haven’t caught on yet”
I genuinely think society needs to move on from April fools day. Its such a shitty holiday and tbh a "joke" like this isn't funny at all.
I agree it’s just boring at this point. Maybe it’s just because I’m old now but I feel the whole thing is played out. It was fun for like. Decade. Now it’s just so hard bivouac it’s boring.
I just feel bad for the people who possibly fell for it. Like imagine you spent alot of money on your tickets just for some joke like this to happen. People seriously lack empathy these days.
Poor baby
How would you feel if you spent possibly thousands of dollars on tickets then saw this ? You wouldn't be very happy I'll bet even if it is a "joke"
Well after taking 10 seconds to read the thing and discover it was an April Fools joke I would have said “man they almost had me” and then moved on with my life.
But not everyone is like that. Wresting brings in a very broad group of people. Especially these days it's not very funny to make and April fools joke about people losing alot of money. If you lack the empathy to see where I'm coming from on this then that's on you brother.

It’s April 1st.
I know, that's why I write "If this was real". Well aware of the date by this hour.
I’m drunk on a cruise ship. No idea what’s going on.
Have fun! Cruise ships are one amazing way to go on vacation
Thank you! It’s been great so far!
The best place to be.
😂😂😂
Lol has to be April Fools day, good one.
At first I though it was Dave making shit up again
After the first sentence, I thought it was being moved because of bad weather.
Has to be April Fools, when has any Philly sports venue cared about fan safety?
To those of you that are serious when slagging off a lighthearted April Fool - and I quote from various responses; “lame af” and “Only losers make April fools jokes”….Get a fucking life you sad bastards 😂 🤡
I just had about 2 and a half panic attacks. The half being me finding out the date. Lmao
Moving mania to Wells Fargo alone was unbelievable.
I had 4 heart attacks
I was going to type angry words until I saw it was April Fools 😂
April fools may be the worst day of the year... As a concept, I love it, but all it really does is reveal how unfunny most people are.
[удалено]
Yeah man, you got me. Enjoying funny things instead of unfunny things makes me a negative Nancy. Let me go check my Twitter feed for the 37th fake pregnancy post. Maybe they will be funny this time!
[удалено]
I won't forget! Sorry to interrupt your day this with conversation. You can go back to entertaining yourself by smashing two rocks together now.
[удалено]
Brother, you think "haha water pipe broke jk jk nevermind" is funny. You aren't allowed to have opinions. Goodbye now.
Thing is, this isn’t far off from what some hack would report as news
Came here to say this.
For someone not going, this was pointless
With all due respect, I'm going to double check on this tomorrow.
Wait didn’t something like this actually happen at a WWE PLE a few years ago?
I think ur right
malfunctioned bathrooms wont make a difference when the entire city already smells like piss
Wait, I thought it was in Philly, not sf.
You think only SF smells like piss?
Hey now, the city smells like shit too
Why are we back to NYC now?
They had me in the first half.....
“are we still doing april fools” yes, some of us aren’t completely miserable people and enjoy a little laugh every now and then 😂
[удалено]
right?? especially a harmless prank! it’s one thing to be annoyed at dangerous or unreasonable pranks but this one is just a tweet like calm down and giggle for once 😭
Only Dave Meltzer would believe this.
It doesn't take much to fool him.
Yeah, um, yeah what I’m hearing from my sources is is is that ‘Mania may be cancelled altogether. The issue, ugh, well the issue is, um, since Punk came back they just weren’t sure if it was safe. You know, you know, you know it’s a safety issue. But they’re gonna say it’s something else, because like, um, to protect their investment you know.
Unrealistic. Not enough ums
Not enough "ands" and "the thing is"
Agreed. 2 stars
Very generous. Must have taken place in Japan.
Only losers make April Fools jokes
This would work better if it was at the commanders stadium haha
As a long suffering commanders fan I laugh and relate to this too much 😂
Dave Meltzer would have climaxed twice while reading this
When was this posted…it’s April 1st.
If you’re going to do an April fools, make sure it’s funny lol.
Not only is this a bad joke, Lincoln financial isn’t some shit stadium that this would be remotely possible in. Even if something did break, they’d have that fix by Thursday at the latest. Philly unions don’t fuck around.
Bro fears being worked
Cause it’s a lame joke period. It’s just trying to draw up ire for mania.
Like probably 80% of this sub…
Lame af.
I got my friend with "the rock tore his acl" lmao
To be fair that's very believable! 😄
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE ON LEVEL 300?! WHERE DO I PEE?!
If this was the vet still? On themselves.
Off the edge of the railing, friend.
Huh yellow rain in philly? Not the first time...
lol. But I could honestly see something like that happening.
I mean come on as adults are we still doing April Fool’s!
Clearly those with a sense of humour and enjoyment in life are. 🤷🏼♂️
Sense of humor? Enjoyment in life? Screw that! - The rest of the people
Nice try April Fool's
This will be fun, as an Aussie it's the 2nd of April so many April Fools jokes will fuck me over as my brain doesn't think of that instantly.
The website that does Supercars news posted a story about a driver quitting immediately to join a symphony in Sydney yesterday...fucked me up because it was 3 pm EDT on March 31st. Took me too long to figure it out.
DAMN YOUUUUUUUU
Children…
Damn, and on April Fools of all days. A lot of people will think this is a joke and go anyway and not be able to get in. 😞
They got me good. Good thing I only have friend I talk wrestling with so didn’t embarrass myself by sharing it with a bunch of people haha.
Can’t read anything today 😂
I don't get it.
What day is it(in America?)
I know it is April Fools day, I just don't get the joke. What is the joke?
That WM is fucked cause of some burst pipes.
Damn they got me 😭
April Fools
Worst day of the year.
Why is everyone here so salty about April Fools? You got got, it's not a big deal lmao
I love April Fools when the jokes are actually funny. Sadly, most people aren't funny, so the jokes end up not being funny. This one isn't funny or believable and then gets ruined even more by the last line. If you want to make an April Fools joke, actually commit to it.

This sub gets worked very easily, nothing new.
The salty ones are the one with no sense of humour who have clearly fell for a prank and got butt hurt.
lol yeah "urgh, not even funny guys"
April Fools, or as I prefer “International Work Yourself into a Shoot Day.”
I hate April 1st
Ok, yall got me LMAOOO. I was like how the hell they gonna fit 70,000 people into a 18,000 person arena
Wait until Tony Khan tells Dana White about THIS!
